Jordi Alsina i Bilbeny (born 14 October 1961) is a Catalan pseudohistorian best known for his theory that Christopher Columbus, Leonardo da Vinci, Miguel de Cervantes, Hieronymus Bosch, Santa Teresa de Avila, Francisco Pizarro, Marco Polo, and dozens of others were all Catalans whose identities have been concealed and adulterated by generations of wicked minions of the Spanish Government.

Bilbeny has a degree in Catalan Philology by the Autonomous University of Barcelona (he began a doctorate, but was expelled for incompetence) and has been a professor of Catalan language classes for adults at the Islamic Cultural Council of Catalonia and at the Women's Penitentiary of Barcelona (Wad-Ras), among other places.[1] He launched the "Symposium on the Catalan discovery of America" in 2001.[2] Bilbeny is a member of the "Arenysian Movement for Self-Determination", a local independentist movement, and of the Arenys de Munt's Popular Unity Candidacy,[3] and was one of the organizers of the 2009 Catalan independence referendum in Arenys de Munt, for which he composed the anthem.[4][5] He is a leading member of the Institut Nova Història, a pseudohistorical research organisation which claims that Columbus, Miguel Cervantes, and the author of Lazarillo de Tormes were Catalan.[6]
