"This is a starry love story, a tale of seething jealousies and subterfuge, a political imbroglio, and religious cruelties. It sounds like Shakespeare and it could have very well been the plot of one of his plays. . . . In the 15th century, the world began to take shape in the ways we understand it today."
--Toronto Star
"One more Ripley's Believe It Or Not exhibit from our strange and wonderful past. . . . 1494 is certainly a good read."
--National Post
