INTRODUCTION.
I.
HE present volume is not a contlnuation
of the Bibliotheca Aìnericana Vetustis-
sima, but a series of notes and additions
intended to aid towards forming a
complete list of works relating to the
discovery, history and geography of America, printed
previous to the year 1551.
It will be found to contain one hundred and eighty-six
articles, two thirds of which arenew to collectors of books
which relate to the New World. The other third is
composed chiefly of descriptions de visti, of extremely
rare editions, which we had succincdy cited'on the
authority of other bibliographers, or published only in
the appendix to the B. A. V.
Several of these additional titles present interesting
and forgotten accounts of important events, or hereto-
fore unknown translations and editions of leading works;
but a great many must be viewed only in the light of
brief allusions, destined to reflect and revive, after a

lapse of severa! centuries, the impressions produced on
the early poets and chroniclers, when first informed that
Columbus, Vespuccius, Magellan, Cortez and Pizzarro,
had discovered or conquered a new world.
The critic who may feel disposed te compare the five
hundred Works or editions which we have descrlbed, wìll
find that they ali can be traced to very few originai
texts, which were copied verbatim for half a century,
frequently representing the heroes of diose marvellous
adventures as stili living, many years after they had
been dead. The translation made into Latin by De
Cosco of Columbus's Epistle to Sanchez, Giovanni del
Giocondo's version of Vespuccius 's third voyage, and the
first decades of Peter IVIartyr, have evidendy supplied
ali the facts used in the chronicles and coUecdons of
voyages of the time. It is also worthy of notice that the
historians of Franca, England and Portugal,' whose
Works circulated so freely as late as the middle of the
sixteenth century, seem to ignore entirely the wondrous
events which have rendered the names of the discoverers
and conquerors of America famous, while the plaquettes
printed immediately on the return of the navigators
and giving the first accounts of their discoveries, are
known to us only through German or Italian translations
published on the Rhine or at Venice.' No contempora-
neous Spanish or Portuguese editions of Vespuccius's

or Magellan's voyages bave come to our knowledge,
and of Columbus's account of ariy of bis four voyages we
know only of one printed in Spain. i
I So few originai documents, the impossibility of gaining
access to the archives of Spain, and, let it be said, the
comparatively limited and transient effect produced upon
the public mind by the discovery of America, serve to
explain the briefhess of the accounts of Columbus's llfe
and achievements to be found in the works printed
during the first' half of the XVIth century. It is only
after the year 1571, that the narratives assume import-
ance or prolixity. A number of circumstances, more or
less imaginary, are made to cluster around a few
unquestionable facts; these are soon altered to borrow
the form of marvellous events, olhers are coined boldly;
and soon aftenvards we see Christopher Colum.bus issue
from the accumulated efforts of chroniclers, poets and
commentators, as a legendary hero and a saint. ;
j The fàct is that the Admiral was simply a bold,
practical man, perfectly alive to his personal interest,
constantly at variance with every body, yet honest,
energetic, persevering and good-hearted, neither better

nor worse than the Genoese of his time; and who, in
after life, lost his well-balanced mind with the thought,
long and perseveringly entertained, that the world was
soon coming to an end, and that he h^d been created
by the Almighty for the sole and exclusive purpose of
disclosing a great terrestrial secret before the im-
pending cataclysm. AH of which, we regret to say, was
a mere freak of imagination. Had Columbus never
existed, the New- World would have been discovered
nevertheless just seven years later, on the 2 2d day of
Aprii, 1500, by Fedro Alvarez Cabrai.'
Hcwever paradoxical, the opinion can even be ad-
vanced that Christopher Columbus had long been aware
of the existence, and spurned the idea of visiting, what
is called the American Continenti that at no time did he
suspect he had found a new world; that had he known
before starting in 1492 he was to discover it, the pro-
bability is that he would not have gone; and finally that
no news could have been more unpalatable to him than
to be informed on his death-bed, that he had actually
discovered what we cali America.
I The change which we have noticed in the public
appreciation of the achievements of Columbus, can easily
be traced to the publication made at Venice in 1571 of
a history of the Admiral, ascribed to Fernando Columbus
and considered by ali historians (none of whom ever
questioned the authenticity of the work) as the "Corner-
stone of the History of the American Continent."^

It fs curious to notioe how few of the originai books
relating to the early history of the New- World C2.n be
found in the public libraries of Europe. There is not a
literary institution, however rich and ancient, which, in
this respect, could compare with three or four private
libraries in America. The Marciana at Venice is pro-
bably the richest, yet its superiority lies within the
covers of two or three plain quarto volumes which do
not even bear a separate title.^ The Trlvulziana at
Milan can boast of several great rarities.' In the Am-

now preservaci in the Salla del Prefeto, and so well-
known through Marquis d'Adda's facsimile edition. This
originai Spanish text of the iìrst letter of Columbus is
octavo for size, printed in very rough semi-gothic type,
and bound in red morocco. Marquis d'Adda's and DaeUi's
texts are extremely correct. We should state, howevef,
tìiat nowhere in the originai did we find the name of
Luis de Santangel. It is simply addressed to the "Escri-

In Rome, what was shown us of the Vatican library,
proved to be of no interest whatever; and but for the
Biblioteca Casatenense, where the obliging Dominican

of Italy without securing a single note. We found in
this collection, better known as La Minerva, a curious
and undescribed Vespuccms, and the Apologia of Se-

But we did not wish to leave the city without investiga-
ting, under the guidance of its erudite keeper, Mr. de
Bofarull, the celebrated archives of the Crown of Aragon.
Wé saw a collection of Dietarios, which is complete from
the year 141 1 almost to the present time. The first is
an officiai diary, called Dietarix de trienni; the second,
a record kept by the clerks of the Municipality; the
third, a series of annals hearing the title of ''Anals
consulars de la ciutat de Barcelona formats de las mes
principals antiguats, prerrogativas y successos de ella'.'
Although these Journals mention day by day the events
which transpired in the city, even the most insignificant,
as for instance a rain storm or a fire, there is not a single
notice of the arrivai of Columbus at Barcelona oa his
return from the New World in Aprii 1493. We only
found an entry, which may by induction enable us to fix
the time of the Admiral's presence in the city.
Agostino Giustiniani " and Paolo hiteriano "" state that
when Francesco Marchisio- and Gian Antonio Grimaldi,
the Genoese Ambassadors, left Spain to return to Genoa,
they were informed by Ferdinand and Isabella of the
discovery achieved by Columbus. Under the date of

following entry: ì
"A quest dia intraren en Barchinonà on la majestad
del S. Rey nostre ere los ambassadors de Genoua a la
sua excellencias tramesos." 1
It is probable therefore that the Àdmiral obeyed in
-the first week of Aprii, the summons sent him on the
30th of March 1493;' unless we suppose that the
Catholic Kings only communicated to the Genoese
Ambassadors the "letras" which had been received
from Columbus two weeks before. j
In Toledo, we ascertained that the fragments of the
first book printed in Mexico, called Maiinal de Adullos,
\Vhich were preserved in the Biblioteca Provincia], had
lately disappeared ; ' but we found in the volume in
which those three valuable leaves had been bound, an
undescribed Doctrina Christiana published in Mexico

In Genoa, Verona, Padova, Ferrara, Naples, Basle,
Inspruck, Grenada, and Cordova, we faiied to find any
hook or manuscript relatlng to America, which deserved
a mention. In the National Library at Paris, they only
possess the Columòus printed by Guyot Marchant, the
Vespuccius of Gilles de Gourmont and the Verdadèra
Relacion of N. de Albenino, ali of which have been already
described in the B. A. V. (N°' 5, 28, 290). As to the
British Museum, it is now so rich in this class pf works that
a description would require a separate chapter.
The Continental libraries were, a quarter of a century
ago, richer in important works relating to America than
they are at present. The first and fourth Cohimbus

the inventory made in 1841. Several Vespucci have
also disappeared from the Paris public libraries. The

Ali these works, with nearly ten thousand more, bave

but this institution stili possesses the Peter Martyr of

ascribed to his brother Christopher; the Valencia edition

None of those books bears a single manuscript note.*
But what constitutes at present one of the chief objects
of curiosity and interest in the library, consists of four
volumes, which once belonged to the Admiral himself.
The first is the Ms. known as the Libro de Pro/ecias,

i It is a smàll folio of eighty-four leaves, incomplete,
written in a large, bold yet juvenile hand, vvhich bears
no resemblance whatever to the small, angular, neat,
handwriting of the Admiral, as we see it in the letters
signpd by him. Our impression is that it is a copy of
the extracts furnished by Ceispàr Gorricio, made by
Fernando, when he was a lad, under the direction of his
father, who doubtiess wrote the annotations and the
letter addressed to the Catholic Kings.'
' The second hook is the translation into Latin of Marco
Polo, made towards the year 1320 by the monk Francis
de Pepuris, and probably printed at Antwerp by Gerard
de Leu, circa 1485, under the title of:

A diligent search ìnto the archives of the fourteen
towns or hamlets or\ the Comiche road, which claim to
have given birth to the great navigator, failed to bring
to light any nev/ document concerning his early life.
We found only traditions, either extremely vague or
arising from a few deeds signed by some Colombo in
the first hah'' of the XVth century, ali of which have been
duly set forth by Casoni,' Isnardi^ and the authors already
mentioned in the B. A. V. and Notes on Columbus.
Stili, new pamphlets and books appear occasionally to
bolster the claims of this or that locab'ty. Just at present,
an effort is being made in favour of Terra-Rossa,^ with
no better proofs than those already alleged.

Genoa might be richer, but there again we were dis-

appointed. We then turned our attention to the records
of the celebrated Bank of St. Georges, which are nearly
intact from the year 1179 to the present date; but
although its obliging librarians threw ali doors open to
US, our search proved fruitless, even in the Cartularii,
which, we thought, mìght contain the correspondence
with the Spanish Government when an attempt was
doubtless made to collect the lo^jo of the revenue arising
from the newly discovered lands, which were assigned to
the Bank of St. Georges, by Columbus, Aprii 2d, 1 502, for
the purpose of diminishing the tax on eatables. The letter

left by them, but there are very few specimen of their
skill to be found in Genoa. Venice is richer in documents
of this description, although we did not succeed in finding
either at the Fràri or in the Marciana, any act or letters
bearing direcdy on Columbus. Yet, at one time, the
archives of the latter city contained at least one originai
document relating to the subject before us. We read in
Marin's too little known history of Venetian Commerce,
that this painstaking author saw and read himself, as
late as thebeginningof the present century, the memorial
addressed by Christopher Columbus to the Signoria for
the purpose of obtaining aid from the Republic in his
attempt to discover the Western coast of Asia."
Our lack of success is due perhaps to the fact that
when we reached Venice, in August 1867, its archives
had been despoiled by the Austrian Government for the
second time. On the 2 2d of July i86ó, a Moravian
Benedictine, called Beda Dùdik, by orderof the Emperor,
and with the aid of a company of Austrian soldiers, took
by force 143 1 packages (filze) of written documents from
the Frari and Marciana. These, added to the 3700
filze taken in the same manner by H. S. Gassler in
1803 — 5,' were more than sufflcient to produce a chasm,
which nothing could ever fili, inasmuch as among these
archives were the thirty-three volumes of Commemoriali,
in which we expected to find the documents in question.

Conceming Americus Vespucdus, we did not succeed
in finding in Italy any document elther emanating from
or relating directly to him after he had emigrated from
Florence; but there isnolack of letters which may serve
to write a new biography of the Fiorentine navigator,
from the year when he was born {1452, siile -comune) to
the supposed date of his departure from Spain. We
bave seen notices extracted from the Liòri Baptismi
preserved in Santa Maria del Fiore, and Book II of the
Età Quarti in Santa Maria Novella, which deserve to
be consulted for a new genealogica! tree; and we have
secured copies of the seventy-four letters contained in
the Carteggio of the Medici family,' first made known
by Bartolozzi, and addressed to Americus Vespuccius,
but written, we regret to say, before he left Italy for
Spain. These extend from February 1483 to November
1491. Many were written by members of his family,
such as Simone, Bernardo, Girolamo, Piero and Antonio
Vespucci, four bear the signature of Lorenzo (di Piero
Francesco) de Medici, to whom the separate edition of
the third voyage was addressed; and ali are directed
either to Pisa or Florence. As to the well-known lettcr
written by Americus to his father in October 1476,
first discovered by Bandini in the Strozzi library,^ it now
graces M. Feuillet de Conches's private collection ia
Paris. This and two or three signatures added to receipts
which were brought to light by Navarrete, constitute the

only autographs of Vespuccius known. Ali the accounts
of his voyages, whether in Italian or Latin, are fraught
with such contradictions, that we cannot even say that
we possess, beyond that unimportant letter, a single line
written by the Fiorentine navigator.
But there is a map which once belonged to him. It is
a manuscript copy on vellum of Valsequa's chart of 1439,
which bears the inscription; Questa ampia pelle di geo-
graphia fu pagata da Amerigo Vespucci cxxx ducati di
oro di marco. In 1838 it was stili in the library of
Count de Montenegro at Palma, in the island of Majorca.'
We know of no other object having belonged to
Vespuccius.
' Of the Italian edition of the four voyages frequently
quoted as having been printed exclusively for ten of the
sovereigns of Europe, we know at present four copies, viz:

Introduction. xxV
The de Bìlly copy descrlbed by Peignot as bound by
Bozerian with a Corsali letter of 1 5 1 6, was probably a
sixth, as it is not likely that such a fine binding was torn
off to separate the two works. Yet, the de Billy, Heber
and Grenville copies may be the same.
When was this valuable work printed?
In the B. A. V. we ascribed the date "circa 15 16,"
because the de Billy copy was found bound together
with a work hearing the imprint of 1 5 1 6, which, in the
opinion of Peignot who had seen and compared the two
books, seemed to "avoir été imprimé en méme tems."
But this, we confess, can be no sure test. If the de Billy
copy is bound with a plaquette of 1516, the Poggiale
copy contained under the same cover a work printed in
1506, whilst the Varnhagen copy had, in addition to
the latter, a hook issued from the press of a _printer,
Lotrian who commenced his trade only in 15 18.' 1 vi
' As to the similarity between the types used, we find that
Peignot sees no difference between this Italian Vespuccius
and the Corsali letter of 1516, while M. de Varnhagen
asserts that both his Vespuccius and the Basilius of
1 506 were printed with the same characters. Must we
suppose that after a lapse of ten years Stephano di Carlo
da Pavia and Pietro Pacini da Pescia, used the same font?
If the passage from Girolamo Priuli's diary, quoted by
Foscarini'' and dated July gth 1 506, applies to this edition
of Vespuccius'S; voyages, then the point is settled. It

"Questa navigazione, e la natura delle persone, e li
viaggi, e li venti, e tutto sono in stampa notati con gran
intelligenza."
Nor should we forget, in connection with the above
extract, that there was a manuscript copy of the text of
the four voyàges of Vespuccius in Italian, already in
existence so early as the year 1504, since in the Maglia-
bechiana' there is a copy made from a transcript which
contains a certificate to the effect that a Fiorentine
notary had copied it on the loth of February of that
year. On the other band, printed copies could be bought
at Rome in September 15 12, as Fernando Columbus did
himself purchase one at that time.'
As to the text itself, it is supposed by Mr. de Varn-
hagen to be Vespuccius 's originai account, since it contains
ìTiany such words as an Italian living in Spain would, in
live course of time, introduce into his vernacular. At ali.
events, it is almost certain tliat il' was from this text
that the French version r.hich scrved for the Latin

proofs of a fifth voyage. These consist in two short
letters written by Francesco Cornare, the Venetian
Ambassador to the Court of Spain, which are as
follows :

As we have stated,' Pigafetta whilst at sea, kept a
diary, a copy of which he presented to Charles V, at
Valladolid shortly after his return.^ This is lost, and
we do not even know in what language it was originally
written. By means of that journal, and at the request
either of Clement VIP or of Villiers de l'Isle Adam,*
Grand Master of the Rhodian knights, Pigafetta wrote
a fuUer account of the expedition.
Three out of four of the manuscripts of the time now
preserved in the libraries of Europe, are written in the
French language. When we take into consideration
that the narrative is dedicated to Villiers de l'Isle Adam,

belonged, it is naturai to suppose that the account was
originally written in French.
f:: We know of four manuscripts, to ali of which paleo-
graphers agree in ascribing the date of the first quarter
of the sixteenth century.
The first, (A), bears the foUowing title :

i - It is a small folio, written on paper, in very clear gothic
characters. It numbers ninety-six leaves plus seven ■
leaves for a treatise on the sphere. In the body of the '
book, on the verso of written leaves, there are tvv^enty- ;
four coloured drawings or maps. On the margin of the j
seventh leaf we notice the following annotation in an \
old hand writing: "Za terre dite de Verzin est ce qui
s*appelle aujourdhuy amerigue meridionalle'.' Several
' erasures of lines which are copied again on the next leaf,
and the rough appearance of the manuscript lead us to
think that it is only a copy, and probably the oldest of
ali. It is preserved in the Paris National Library under^
the following designation:
"Ancien No. 10270 B.aujourd'hui Fonds Fratiiaìs
Introduction. xxxl.
The title of the second manuscript, (B) is as follows:

This Ms. is in folio, written on vellum and most beautì-
fully illuminated. It contains eighty-six leaves for the
voyage, one for a title-page which gives instead of the
drawing of a sphere as in A, the following lines: Des\
cription II De la Spere (sic) || + sixteen leaves for the
latter treatise. The chapters are divided exactly as in A,
except that one has a heading which, like the title, is in
Roman characters, v/hilst the rest of the work is written
in gothic letters. VVe find the same number of platea
and maps, but they are executed with greater care and
skill. The paleographers of the Paris National Library
consider it from the style of the ornaments and quality
of the velkim, to be of Italian origin.
The text is almost the same as in A, except that some
details of an unchaste character are omitted. The name
of the author is also spelled in a different manner
but not va. the same places as in A.
This beautifu! manuscript, which was one of the
gems in the La Valliere collection, is now preserved in
the Paris National Library, under the mark of "Fonds
Fran^ais, No. 24224."

The tltle of the third manuscript, (C), which vfe copy
from Thomassy and Libri, is as follows:

Girofle, faicte par Anthoine Pigaphete Vincentin

et H' H. NEAGECITO/
This is also a splendid manuscript written on vellum,
tastefully illuminated by an artist who is of the time
of the La Valliere codex. It was first made known by
M. Thomassy,' who found it in 1841 in the library of the
late M. Beaupré, at Nancy. Libri says that it seems to
have been once the property of Cardinal de Lorraine.
This may well be, as the Cardinal was brother to Francis,
known as the Grajid Prieiir, whose whole life was
devoted to the welfare of the Rhodian knights, with
whom he lived at Malta after they had been constrained
by the Turks to abandon the island of Rhodes. In 1720,
the Ms. was stili in the convent of St. Leopold at Nancy.
In March 1851, it was sold under the hammer at Paris,''
and appeared again at the Solar sale in Aprii i86i,*
where it was purchased by a London bookseller, who
probably sold it to Libri. In the catalogne of the latter,*
this valuable Ms. is minutely and accurately described.
It is now in the library of Sir Thomas Philip, at Cbeltenham.
Thomassy, who compared it with A and B, says that it
is the most complete of ali.

The fourth manuscript, (D), beare the following title : '
JÈahfgasionc z bi^foprimento bele Sfnbia fupcriore,
con le figure be' paefi fcapettf.
This is a tolerably thick folio volume, one third of
which is composed of blank leaves. The Ms. is written
in very plain semi-gothic, in a dialect composed of Italian,
Spanish and Venetian, and filled with mistakes .:>f ali
kinds. It contains twenty-one separate plates and raaps.
Like the French versions it is dedicated to Villiers de
risle Adam, but bears the following annotation: '\Ce
liure est du Chevallier de Porrete!' This ex-libris shows
that the Ms. cannot be an originai, as the knight
mentioned, (who can only be Jean de Forét') was in the
Order at the time when Villiers was stili Grand Master;
and it is not likely that the latter would bave made a
present of the originai of a work which had been de-
dicated to him by another knight. i
The manuscript was discovered at the dose of the last
century by Carlos Amoretti, who published a version of
it with con.siderable alterations a.nd a valuable introduc-
tion in 1800. The codex is preservedin the Ambrosiana
at Milan, under the mark of ''Cod. Chart. L. 103, super"
The reader will perceive that agoodtextof Magellan's
voyage is stili wanting, for the Ambrosian codex (which
has not even been published, since Amoretti's edition is
only a translation into modem Italian), is inferior in every
respect to any of the French manuscripts, which the
learned librarian of the Ambrosiana knew only by repu-
tation. Libri who compared the Italian text with C, when

As to Hernando Cortez, we did not fail, while in Spain,
to search for the contemporaneous edition of the three
Cartas printed together in black letter, on two columns,
in-quarto, as seen by Seiìor Gayangos in the hands of
a foreign gentleman residing at the Court. Our in-
vestiga tions in this respect were of no avail; but we
describe infra^ an account borrovved from the Segunda
and Taglia, which was printed in French and Flemish at
Antwerp as early as 1523.
i In regard to manuscriptsources we were more success-

of importance sent to the Senate of Venice by Gasparo
Contarini, the Ambassador to the Court of Spain, and

rini in 1843.''
They are as follows:

The title which we-gave (B. A. V.
No. 12) after Audiffredi, is on the
recto of the 2d leaf It was on the
assertion of Cancelheri that we in-
serted Almeida's oration , believing
that it contained, like Carvajal's, some
allusion to the newly discovered isles ;
tut the only passage which we could
jfind apparently hearing on the sub-
[ject, is the foUowing:
"llle \M\uid Rex est: fama super
iRtikSia &fitU£: ^us/j.SQUis ;epertis ho-
m;«ibus ampliasse ho;/;i«Kni genus:
Quew nouis addicis terrnruOT orbi

ire orbem ipitrm propagasse: & ipsius
auspitio illas."
The alìusion to the "great kiiig
who increased the huiii-!in family in
discovering new inen, and who ep_-
larged the globe itself by adding to
it a large number cf distant isles",
must refer to the Cr.naries 'an^ Azores,
notv/ithstanding the passage: "crucis-
CjUe redemptionis v.osirae vcr.\\\ar,i:
ultra quadraginta ceto milia £tadior«»i
erexisse", which we talee to allude to
the voyage of Bartholomew and Fedro
Dias in 14S7 to the Cape of Tempests,
afterwards called Cape of Good Hope,
as in 1493, Portugal had not yet
sént any expedition westward,
5 hìbllotìieca Americana,
1493* ^icli for £. 4. 8. It is supposed to have been piirchased
-j-- ' .- . on account of an American Ìj.brary. Since then it has
entirely disappeared, and we have failed to find another
copy anywhere.
Whilst in Rome we vainly endeavoured to discover
diplomatic documents relating to the difficulties which
arose between Spain and Portugal at thè time of the
discovery of America. Father Augustin Theiner wrote
afterwards to us : "Je n'ai pas manqué de parcourir dans
les archives secrètes du Vatican les régistres originaux
dAIexandre VL, pour vcir si il y avait d'autres pièces
relatives qui auraient pu échapper à l'attention de Ray-
naldi', mais je n'ai rien trouvé." On the other hand, we
wcre tbriunate enough to find in the archives of the
Frari, at Venice, the letter which Alexander VI. sent,
together with the buils, on the i/th of May 1493, '^
Francis de Spratz, the nuncio to the court of Spain".

' Sebastian Brandt, Brant or Titio, was born at Stras-
burg in 1458; and died at Basle in 1520. We know of
no poem which has been more frequently reprinted and
translated than the ''Shyppe offooles".
We give infra the first editions in Latin, French and

world.

The above are the Latin plaquettes giving an account
of Vespuccìus' third voyage which have come under our
notice since the publication of the Bibliotheca Americana
Vetustissima. We therefore have described already at
least eleven different Latin editions sine anno aut loco,
but ali probably published in the same year, of Americus'
first expedition under the Portuguese flag
The vessels returned to Lisbon, September 7th 1502,
but the account was not written for some time afterwards,
owing to the fact that King Manoel kept the log book
for several months in bis possession. It is certain, however,
that the present description of this all-important voyage,
in which Vespuccius speaks for the first time of the newly
discovered lànds, as regions that should be called the
NeTiT World: "Novum Mundum appelare licet", was
written and probaly printed before bis departure for a
fourth voyage, May loth* 1503, from which he returned
June i8th 1504.

r~ , ~) ;:
1503-5. This third voyage is the only one of the live or slx
- expeditions undertaken westward by Vespuccius, an ac-
count of which was ever printed separately. The first,
second and fourth voyages were described together,
with a different version of the third, in Italian {B. A. V.
No. 87), and afterwards in Latin by Waltzemùller, at
St. Diey in 1507 {B. A. V. No, 44).
The account of Vespuccius' discoveries and adventures
which is inserted in the collection called Paefi noiiamente
ritrouati{B. A. V. No. 48) is only a version in the Venetian
dialect of this separate edition of the third voyage.
Our readers are aware that ali the separate editions
of this third voyage state that "ex italica in latinam
Jocundus interpres hanc epistolam vertit."
j Who was this Jocundus or Giocondo ?
\ We know now from Lud's Spcculum orbis {B. A. V.
No. 49) that it was not the "Julianus Bartholomaeus
Jocundus", mentioned in the account itself as the party
sent by the King of Portugal to induce Vespuccius to
leave the service of the King of Spain, but the Veronese
architect Fra Giovanni del Giocondo, who residcd in
Paris from 1499 to 1507, in the employ of the city\ "Et
circumferunt, says Lud,^ bibliopolse passim ea de re nostri
Philesii Vogesigense [viz: Matthias Ringmann] quoddam
epigramma in libello Vespuccii per Jocundum Veronensem
qui apud Venetos architecti munere fungitur ex Italico
in Latinum sermonem verso impressum.
i This extract shows that the originai was translated
from the Italian into Latin by a translator who is known
to have been living in Paris at the time when the first
edition was published.
Now the German translations were ali made from a
Latin copy which some bookseller beyond the Rhine
obtained from Paris as early as May 1505.

says B. A. V. No. 33.
We infer that the first edition is to be so:.:ght among
the copies printed in Paris.
N°' 22, 23, 24, 25 oi B. A. V., and the folio edition
above mentioned, ali of which are st'ne amio aut loco,
without printer's marks, we judge from the type and
paper to be German or Italian. N°' 26, 27 and 28 of
B. A. V. bear respectively the names of Jehan Lambert,
Daniel Roce and Gilles de Gourmont, ali of whom exer-
cised their art in Paris. , ■{
Gilles de Gourmont must be thrust out as he did not
commence printing until August 1507.'' Jehan Lambert
and Roce only were printers before and after 1503.
Narrowed down to these two names, we do not hesitate .
' j
to follow in the footsteps of M. d'Avezac, and to name
Lambert's edition as the first of ali, especially as of the
editions known, it is the only one which gives properly
and in full, the name of the party to whom the Italian
originai was addressed. ^
"Laurentio "pttn /ràncisci de Medicis", prints Lambert.
"Laurentio Petri de medicis", invariably say ali the other
printers. Who knows but this correct rendering of a
name is due to the fact that Fra Giovanni del Giocondo, !
who made his translation at the time and in the city
where Lambert printed the plaquette, also corrected the

_ the German translation of Vespuccius' letter {È. A. V.
' N"' 33, 34, S7' 38) made, as they state, from a Paris
Latin edition, insert the name of "Francis", whilst the
latest {N°' 40 &41 of the B. A. V) omit it. We there-
fore consider Jean Lambert's edition as the princeps, and
also as the originai of the first four publications made in
the German language.
'- The other Latin editions, mcludingOtmar's, may have
been copied from Roce's^ which, in ali -probability is
itself only a copy from Lambert's, but without having
had the benefit of the translator's supervision, which'
accounts for the imperfect rendering of Lorenzo de
Medici's father's name on the title. As to the text of the
Latin editions it is acknowledged in ali to be Giocondo's
translation.
f No traces have yet been found of the Italian originai
from which this separate version was made. There is
an originai text in Italian of Vespuccius's third voyage,
but it differs from this, and was printed only with
the other three voyages in the rarissime No. 87 of the

di Mondo novo" {B. A. V. No. 48), which is correct. It
contains only the voyages of Columbus, without any of
the headings introduced into the Raccolta. And as it
was printed in 1504, and served as a text for ali the
editions, translations and imitations of the Paesi nova-

reprints of this account, dated 1 52 1 , and Latin translations
printed in 1532, speak of Columbus as stili living a
quarter of a century after he was dead.

This edition, which we always considered and, stili
believe to be the first, is now supposed by a critlc of
great acumen and erudition to be only an amalgamated,
copy.
The Hon.' Henry C. Murphy writes to us:
"I have had the opportunity of examining carefully ali
the copies of the Cosmographioe Inlroductio printed at
St. Diey in the possession of Mr. J. Carter Brówn, Mr.
Griswold, and myself , and have arrived at a perfect con-
viction which the minute actual comparison by inspection
would create in any mind used to the collation of books,
that the Eyrles-Yemeniz copy [the present, B. A. V.
No. 44] is not an originai edition but is made . up by
the interpolation of four leaves (the ith, 2d, 5th and
6th) or rather substitution of them in place of the
• ■ . Additions. '■.■•'■■-'•■•■ '"_ji" ■■; ,„
corresponding leaves in the edition called by M. D'Aveza.c 1 507.
the 2d yB. A. V. No. 45]. That the second and third . , , |_._
editions [N°' 45 and 46] according to his arrangement
are the only originai edition; his first [No. 44] and fourth
[No. 47J being variations alike made up from the 2d
and là in the manner before stated. The detailed proof f
I will give in my memoir." i
We must now be permitted to give Mr. D'Avezac's
opinion (which we share altogether) in his own words: i
"Il faut faire deux parts du contenu du volume, i" le
traité de Waltzemiiller, 2° les quatre navigations de
Vespuce. Pour cette dernière partie, je n'ai eu la faculté
de constater qua deux types, l'un avec la date des KaLs.
de Mai (25 Avril. B. A. V. N°' 44 and 45), l'autre avec
la date des Kals. de Septembre (29 Aoùt, N°' 46 and 47),
et |e ne suis pas à portée de vérifier par la disposition des
cahiers et des signatures, s'il y a eu en réalité des variantes
secondaires dans chacun de ces deux types. \
Pour la première partie il y a deux rédactions bien
distinctes, lune caractérisée par la dédicace à l'Empereur :
faite au nom personnel de Waltzemùller, c'est l'originai
[the present No. 24]; l'autre substituant à Walzemùller .
le Gymnasiimi Vosagense. De ces deux parties A a et
Bb, il a pu étre fait plusieurs combinaisons: AB, Ab,
aB, ab; mais ce n'est pas tout, il est certain qu'il existe
de la seconde rédaction de la première partie deux types
différents et distingués entre eux par la disposition dos
lignes de la dédicace au verso du frontispice: soit, a — a.
Les articles de la B. A. V. N°' 44, 45, 46 et 47. j
peuvent dès lors se traduire ainsi: - -^
No. 44 = AB,
„ 45 = aB, : ■ M-i*
„ 46 = ab,
„ 47= Ab,
et l'on pourrait peut-ctre rcncontrer des exemplaires
form.cs suivant d'autVss combinaisons, mais ce ne saurait
étf? d^ édiiions différentco.
^ 'li; Bibliotheca Americana.
1 5Ó7, Pour moi, il ny a dans tout cela (jusqu'à vérification
. plus ampie des variantes possibles de la seconde partie),
que trois éditions: AB, aB, a'b; le reste n'offre que des
arrangements hétéroclites.
Waltzemùller donne à St. Die, le 25 Avril 1507, son
édition originale AB, et s'en va passer quelque temps à
Fribourg en Brisgau, ou peut-étre à Strasbourg. En son
absence Gaultier Lud réimprime d'abord sa première
partie, afin de substituer le Gymnasium Vosagense à
l'unique Ilacomylus, et il assemble cette réimpression
falsifiée avec la seconde partie légitime, ce qui donne
aB, puis on fait une réimpression du tout le 29 Avril, et
l'on produit ainsi ab.
Que A B soit la premure édition , et non a B, cela est
prouvé par le livre méme. au verso du titre méme de
A, Ringmann adresse à l'Empereur dix vers finissant par
ce distique significatif :
Hinc /z(5z' devoto Generale hoc mente dicavii
Qui mirù prsesens arte paravit opus,
etiisez en méme temps dans la Margarita philosophica
de Strasbourg 15 12', la réclamation de Waltzemùller
répétée par Humboldt.'
Quant au doublé distique accompagnant sur les cótés
l'estampille imprimée au recto du dernier feuillet, la
traduction.-donnée dans la B. A. V. n'est pas exacte. Il
faut'lire comme si les mots étaient ainsi disposés; ^
"Pra^sul Deodate! urbs clarescens tuo nomine qua'
sunt juga montis Vogesi, pressit [hoc] opus etipsa eadem.
Christo favente pressit Monimenta; tempore venturo
premet csetera multa." \
Gaultier Lud n'est pour rien là-dedans; c'esi plul^it
Waltzemùller qui parie, car les Monimenta sont aussl de
lui, comme le rappelle sa dédicace à Antoine de Lorraine
• "Ubi [speaking of St. Diey] ut cosmographiani nuper composniBUg,

This unique complete copy of the originai edition of
the Cosmographi(S ìntroductio was first found on the
quays of Paris , and purchased for twenty cents by the
learned Eyries.* ;
We found copies of No. 45 of the B. A. V. in the
Munich Royal Library and the Genoa University. In
the latter, the capitals are beautifully illuminated. No, 46
is in the Vienna Imperiai Library, and No. 47 in the
Mazarine. We have heard of a copy made to resemble
the originai by substituting in the place of leaves i, 2, 5
and 6 of No. 45, leaves !, 2, 5 and 6 of No. 47, ■\
We were unable to discover the copy said by
Napione* to be in the Vatican.

.. in print at the time. Thus, part of Boolc II, and the whole
of Book III, are Uteraìly the voyage of Cabrai, printed
at Rome and at Milan in 1 505 {supra No. 1 8), whilst
Book IV is almost verbatim Vercellese's Libretto of 1 504

that it was not simply Giocondo's Latin version,
As to the claims of Fracanzo tó the editorship of this
useful coUection of voyages, they seem to be ali contained

among the latter £. A. K N°' 122, 190, 193, 215, and
the curious plaquette dated Sevilla, Feb. 8th, 1 538, which
we describe infra.
Concerning Alessandro Zorzi himself, we have diligendy
examined the numerous Foscarini Mss., preserved in the
Imperiai Library at Vienna. In voi. 6143, recto of page 29,
we found only the following meagre account :
"Alessandro- Zorzi, 1 560. Viaggia due volte in Cipro,
poi in Alessandria, poi in Inghilterra, Spagna, Fiandra,
e d'anni 20 in circa. Nota tutti, costumi a coste riguardevoli
antiche e nove, e mette le più curiose in dissegno massime
le Gulie e altro d'Alessandria. V. Taccuin presso Forcelini
p. 20."
Wha!t the learned doge meant by his reference ^o
"Taccuin" is that which neither ourselvesnor the obligiiTg
librarians in the Imperiai library could discover. Thìs
was so much the more ao-gravatinof that Foscarini when
mentiomng Angelo the Trevisan, or Malipiero, invariably
refers to this "Taccuin presso Porcellini."^
We were su;-prised to find that the only works which
Foscarini intended to read for his much talked of chapter

15 IO. We borrow the present ride from Navarrete's
.. posthumous work, Biblioteca Maritima Espanola;^'h&
evidently has seen this originai of the Latin ti'ans-
lation and commentary written by John Bissel, under
the title of Argonauticon Americanum, sive, Historice
Pericuiorum Petri de Victoria, published at Munich,
1647, small i2mo; and in 1698, i2mo, at Amsterdam,
by vEgidius Janssen à Waesberge, although with the
imprint of "Gedani" (Danzig). According to Navarrete",
Gobeo's or Goveo's account was also published in German,
by George Anlin(?) at Ingolstadt, in 1622 and 1628, 8vo.

(Library of the Departement of Public Works, Madrid.)
In the copy already described in B. A. V., the verso
of the title-page is in twenty-five lines, beginning thus;

1 5 1 1. The copy In the Colombina hTsrary, at Se ville, cohtains
■ „ a manuscript map on vellum, of the island of Hispaniola,
which seems to be in the handwriting of Christopher
Columbus.
i But the most important difference consists in two
imnumbered leaves which, in B. A. V. No. 66, are to
be found between the last leaf of fiiij and the first leaf
of ^. These two supplementary leaves contain, on the
recto of the first, a map of the newly discovered world
which covers the entire page, and on the verso, an
epistle addressed to Cardinal Ximenez. The recto, and
part of the verso of the second supplementary leaf, are
. devoted to a table of errata for the Decades.
i These two leaves which are without signatures, do
'. not exist in either of the three copies of the present
impression of the Decades of Petrus Martyr which we
have seen," although ali are in their originai vellum
binding. This leads us to think that the present is the
" form under which the work was first published.

The present is evidently a translation of Peter Pas-
quaglio's letter giving an account of Gaspar Cortereal's
discovery of Labrador as published in Book vi, cap. xxvi
of the Paefi, or chapter cxxv of Du Redouer's French
version.
For a full account of this voyage, which covers the
entire coast between 50° and 60° of latitude and from
"Golfo Quadrado" to "Isola Verde", and which lasted
from theSpring of 1500 to October 8"" 1501, the reader
may consult Damiao de Goes^ Herrera', Biddle' and
Humboldt'.

Fearing with Rosenbaum' that the text had been
altered in Boerhave's edition and Gruner's continuation
of Luisino's work', we bave diligendy examined the
originals of ali the tracts republished in these two valuable
compilations and in Astruc's well-known analysis^ Our
object was to ascertain in what work could be read the
first mention of the morbus gallicus as an evil imported
from the New World.
If the word "sethiopia", can be construed to mean "les
Indes occidentales"*, then the work of Fulgosus', first
published in 1 507, contains the earliest assertion of this
character which we could find. If not, it is in Schmaus'
Lucubratiuncula that the critic must look for the origin
of that absurd tradition*. It is in these words (verso of
the first, and recto of the second leaves) :

1518. The origin of the tradition seems to be that when in
. consequence of the tract published and so extensively
circulated by Ulrich deHutten' in 15 19, itwas generally
believed that guaiacum wood was a specific, which carne
originally from the New World, physicians jumped at
the conclusion that the morbus gallicus, so called, must
have likevvise originated in the West-Indies. Until then
ali medicai writers considered it as an epidemie which
first made its appearance in Italy in 1494.

15 21. There is ati account of this poem in Ticknor, who
=== says that it was printed entire at London, in the year
1843, 4to. ,
The author is Juan de Padilla, bom in 1468, and who
died after 1 5 1 8, since the colophon bears this date. It
seems to have been reprinted in 1 529. Ticknor quoting
Sarmiento' says that Juan Padilla rose to important
ecclesiastical authority under the crown and in the órder
of the Carthusians.

These two books are unquestionably dated "M,D.xxvi,"

date, but it must be a mistake oi the printer:
"Fedro Mexia, the chronicler, wrote a Silva, or Tvlis-
cellany, divided in later editions, iato six books, and
subdivided into a multitude of separate essays, historical
and moral, declaring it to be the first work of the kind
in Spanish.
To this, which may be regarded as a|ì imitation of
Macrobius or of Athenseus, and which was printed in
1 544, were added, in 1 548, six didactic dialognes."

This seems to be the third edition. Navarrete, from
whom we borrow the above description, mentions one
printed at Sevilla by Juan Varela, 1 5 1 8, 410, and Panzer,
on the authority of Vogt, descfibes another, given by ,
Juan Cromberger at Sevilla, in 1520, folio. «
Rodrigo Fernandez de Santaella, the translator of the I
above, was a native of Carmona, in Andaluzia. He died
in 1509, after having been confessor to the Catholic
Kings and Archbishop of Saragossa.

If we foUow Desmarquetz,^ Jean or Jan Parmentier was
born at Dieppe in 1480, as this author states thathe died
in 1529 at the age of 49, but as Crignon says positively
in the present work that he died in 1529, aged 35, we
must give the date of 1 494 as that of his birth. Raoul ,
Parmentier who died in the same year \vas bomin 1499.
Jean Parmentier, who visited the Northern coast of
America soon after Verrezano and before Cartier, is
believed to be* the hero of the well-known anonymous
' « A mermaid with the motto Nocet à Phistoire de Ùieppe, Paris, 1785,

-__-=_. and published in Italian by Ramusio.» The French
originai, which may bave been printed, ìs now lost, but
the log book of Jean Parmentìers last voyage has lieen
found and printed by M. Estancelin. He is said te have
made one of the first complete mappemondes.*
As to Pierre Crignon he was a provincial poet and
savant, who is chiefly khown as the editor of some of
Parmentier's poetical effusions, and the .object of a con-
troversy in regard to the variation of the compass from
the true merjdian, which he was erroneously supposed
to have first noticed in 1554.'

the Fuggers became the richesf and one of the most ==

Chiefly noted as the favorite bankers of the German ^
Emperors and of Charies V of Spain, whom they helped
to crown,' they had in Venice, in Seville, and in every
important sea port, branches of their great Augsburg
house, and traded not only in coins and ingots, but in
spice and silks. They had extensive fleets which carried
as far as the Indian seas and the Pacific Ocean, the

. enlightened trader, '^ a patriot, "• a warrior "^ or a
scholar,"' does not deserve a special mention. But we
bave only to cali the attention of the reader to their
efforts as bold and enterprislng merchants, whom tra-
ditions represeht as having furnished the necessary
funds for several expeditions to the New World, and
who were among the first traders to the West-Indies
and Perù.
Unfortunately the documents which Gould enable the
historian to write the early annals of American commerce,
and show the paramount influence of the merchants of
Augsburg, bave been scattered. Stili, there can be found
among the Archives of the latter city, a great many un-
published letters, instructions, accounts, and several char-
ters, which, when classified and placed within the reach of
the student, will throw a new light upon the commercial
relations, which, not only the Fuggers, but the Welsers
and perhaps the Brothers Haro of Antwerp, carried on
so extensively with the New World, frequently under
the protection of Portugal. i
For the present we can only give a short letter from
Conrad Peutinger, addressed to Hòlzl, the secretary of
the Emperor Maximilian, under the extremely early date
of January I3th 1504.

; Mr. Edwin Tross, to whom we are indebted for this
curious document, is inclined to think that the word
"India", must be taken in the sense of the East-Indies,
and the above epistle does not belong therefore to the
subject before us; but this gentleman assures us that it
belonged to a file of Welser documents, which contained
also conclusive proofs of trading expeditions to America,
undertaken by these rich Augsburg merchants, as early
as 1 507. The reader is aware that Charles V, by way
of retribution for large sums of money, which he had
borrowed from the Welsers, bestowed upon them the
province of Venezuela, to be held as an hereditary fief
from the crown of Castile, They were stili in possession
as late as the year 1555.

1540. The present is the first hook printed in America; un-
. fortunately v^'c possess only the last two leaves. The
recto of the first leaf coritains a series of verses, of which
the above is a facsimile, to which must be added the
following lines that the lack of space prevented us from
reproducing 011 the same page:
^t placet) 0B fega# oitine ìiif^ofitutn»

^Eb fat) l : gù me remorat] ^mM : 'm^.
Mi fat] : t facia^ guoti pecor : atg$ uak
The verso is in thirty-two lines, giving the most part
of a table of errata beginning thus :
errata tiiiae paru attera nfirEpfEre ^ppograpBa :
ta ra riuaell&artu Retare DffenijrrB potcrat : % Etìam
Quae iiiEruììitu at$ ll morDfum. %\sm. funt illa quttrem
mtnutula. ||
The recto of the other leaf contaìns twenty-two Unes,
the first seventeen of which are a continuation of the
table of errata, and the rest comprises the above
colophon. The verso is blank. We couid detect no
traces of signature, pagination or water mark.
Additions, 129
The first erratum is as follows: 1 5 4'^*
€n te ftguntia fas t>' te primtra ^oja en el r!gla — ■
. xij . ijDniJE tifsE quinto tieftE nSfice : &a ùc ùesti: . v .
UeftE nSfirE nuEftro ^Enor.
From which we infer that the work commenced on
the recto of the title-page with a dedication to Charles V
of Spain.
The last erratum refers to "la hoja xxxvj." As the
table shows an erratum for almost every page, if the list
ends with the thirty-sixth leaf, the probability is that the
work was composed of thirty-eight leaves, the last two
for the parts above described. From the fact that the
Tour pages stili in existence seem to belong to à leaf
simply folded in two, we suppose that the text and title
formed nine signatures, a — i, ali in fours. The first three
lines of Cabrera's verses are printed in red.
Until within a few years, these valuable fragments
formed part of a volume, bound in valium, and preserved
in the Biblioteca Provìncial of Toledo, under the mark
of "3 — 35 — 4." These few leaves, known under the sup-
posed title of the book, viz. Ma7iual de Adultos, sud-
denly disappeared from Toledo, but were found a couple
of years ago, by its present owner, the erudite Senor don
Pasqual de Gayangos, on a book stali in London. But this
time, these two precious leaves were bound by themselves
in boards, with some blank paper, and the addition of a
large engraved book piate, representing what seems to
US the arms of the Duke of Sussex, with the motto: Si
deus prò nobis , guis . contra nos., and the following
mark: IX. E. d. 21.
As to the writer of the above poetical effusion, he was
apostoUcal notary, in Mexico, and certified as such, as
early as September 1535, the document relating to the
establishment of the bishopric of that city, the originai
of which is now preserved in the library of Saml. L. M.
Barlow, Esq, in the city of New York.

This curious edition contains no particular mark which
could enable us to determine the year when it was printed.
The fact that it was pubiished by order of Juan de
1540.

1 5 40. Zummaraga would not even fuUy authorize us to place It
_______ previous to 1548, wljich is the year when he died, sirice
in the Doctrina Christiana published by Juan Pablos
in 1550', we yet see the words: "fue impressa . . . por
madado d'I reuerend. senor dò fray Juà gummaraga." 1
We place it under the year 1540, simply from a kind
of resemblance between its context and that of the
Manual de Adultos.

The copy of this edltion, in Mr. Maisonneuve's book- '

these words:

Although this map resembles in many respects that
which is to be found in the Paris edition of the Novus
Orbis {B. A. V. No. 173), the above subscription shows
that it is a later and somewhat different edition of
Oroncius Fine s well-known homeoterical mappemonde.

' "Vanegas flourished about 1531 — 45'. . . His treatise
is written in a good style, though not without conceits
of thought and conceited phrases. But it is not, as
its title might seem to imply, criticism on books and
authors, but the opinion of Vanegàs himself, how we
should study the great books of God, nature, man, and
Christianity."

logo de la Dignidad del Hombre. \
The originai edition is so scarce that a new one which '
is about to be published in Mexico, was prepared from
the reprint of 1772 (IVIadrid, Fr. Cerda y Rico, 4to). |
Francisco Cervantes de Salazar is supposed to bave
been born in the city of Toledo towards the year 1521.'
He spent bis youth in Flanders, became a doctor in \
theology, the disciple of Vives and Vanegas, and taught
rhetoric in Alcala. In 1550 he removed to Mexico,' and
was made rector of the University of that city. The ,
year of his death is unknown, but it must be posterior •
to 1568, as we know of an episde' addressed by him to
Martin Enriquez as Vice-Roy of New Spain, an office ;
which the latter filled only from 1568 to 1580. |
Cervantes de Salazar wrote, while in New Spain, a '
Cronica de las Indias, now lost ; a kind of oratiori on the
obsequies of Charles V,^ three dialogues,* which Sefior
Icazbalceta says deserve to be reprinted,' and a work
on his former master* which, although written in Spain,
was published in Mexico. Herrera who calls him' "Varon
diligente y erudito," made use of certain Memorias
written by Cervantes, but which seem to bave dis-^
appeared.

This work was orig^ally written in Latin by Cristobàl
de Cabrerà,' the apostolical notary who wrote the
address in verse which is on the first page of the
Manual de Adultos? The work is dedicated to Juana
de Zuniga, the daughter of Count d'Aguilar whom Her-
nando Cortez married after the death of Catalina
Xuarez. From the dedicatory epistle we learn that this

On the twenty-sixth leaf commences the chapter: I 5 SO-
wherein Christopher Columbus is represented as a native

Domingo de Valtanas Mexia was born in 1 488, and
died in 1560. VVe should state that Antonio" does not
know of an earlier edition than that of 1555. We have
no evidence, beyond Gallardo's assertion, that the present
