It ^Yill be found to contain one hundred and eifrhtv-six articles, two thirds of which are new to collectors of books which relate to the New World. The other third is composed chiefly of descriptions dc visii of extremel)- rare editions, which we had succinctly cited on the authorit)- of other bil)liograjjhers. or published only in the appendix to the B.

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 rellect and revive, after a A 11 Introduction, lapse; of several centuries, tlu: impressions produced dr. the early po(;ts and chnjniclers, when first informed ilia; Columbus, V'espuccius, Magellan, Cortez and Pizzarro had discovered or conquered a new world.

The translation made into Latin by l)e Cosco of Columbus's l'!pistle to Sanchez, Giovanni di' Giocondo's version of Vesimccius's third vo)age. and the first decades of Peter Martyr, have evidently sup])liLu all the facts used in the chronicles and collections u; voyages of the time. It is also worth)' of notice that tlit historians of I'Vance, England and Portugal,' wliosi works circulated so freely as late as the middle of tin.' sixteenth century, seem to ignore entirely the wondrous events which have rendered the names of the discoverers and conquerors of America fanious, while the plaquettcs printed immediately on the return of die 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 I The Chioiiicles printed ,al Pavis (1516, 15^3, 1542), cont:\iii no alhi- l^y Ferieboac in 1521, by Regnaiilt sioii wliaicve.- to tlic Xew-World. in 1532, liy Galliol dti I'ii$. in 1519, ^ Mutidiis Xoviis.

So few original documents, the impossibility of gaining access to the archives of Spain, and, let it be said, d\e comparatively limitetl and transient effect produced upon tlie publit; miiul b)- the discovery of America, serve to explain the briefness of the accounts of Columbus's life and achievements to be found in the works printed during the first half of the XVIth century. It is only after die 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, others are coined boldly; and soon afterwards we see Christopher Columbus issue from the accumulated efforts of chroniclers, poets and commentators, as a legendary hero and a saint. The fact 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 gooddiearted, neither better Copia tie In Lcttcra per Columbo mandala.

All of which, we regret to say, wa- a mere freak of imagination. 1 lad Columbus ncwr existed, the New-World would have been discovered nevertheless just seven years later, on the 2 2d clay 0: April, 1500, b)- Pedro Alvarez Cabral.' However paradoxical, the opinion can even be ad- vanced that Christopher Columbus had long been aware of the existence, and spurned th(.' idea of visiting, wha: is called die American Continent ; that at no time did lit suspect he had found a new \\orld; that had he known before starting in 1492 he was to discover it, the i)rc- 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 call America. 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 Hisioria a history of the Admiral, ascribed to ?\^rnando Columbus and considered by all historians (none of whom ever questioned the authenticity of the work) as the "Corner- stone of the History of the American Continent.'

It was not originally written by the son of the bold navigator, and many of the circumstances it relates have to be challenged and weighed with the utmost care and impartiality, before they can be accepted hereafter by critical historians as a basis for a history of Christopher Columbus or a reliable narrative of his exploits.' II. It is curious to notice how few of the original books relating to the early history of the Xew-World can 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 Trivulziana at Milan can boast of several great rarities.^ In the Am- 1 See our D. Ffniaiido Colon, Historiador de su Padre, Ensayo Critico.

He quotes, we recollect, the Bibliotea Cenobii ll'eingarten. The Scyllacio in the I.enoxiana came originally from the Olivieri collection in Ferrara, from which it passed into the library of Marquis Saporetti. VI Introduction. brosiana, we have only seen the rarlssime plaquette, now preserved in the Salla del Prefeto, and so well- known through Marquis d'Adda's facsimile edition. This original Spanish text of the first letter of Columbus is octavo for size, printed in very rough semi-gothic type, and bound in red morocco. Marquis d'Adda's and Daclli's texts are extremely correct. We should state, however, that nowhere in the original did we find the name of Luis de Santangel. It is simply addressed to the ''Escri- bano de racion."' There are two other copies of Scyl- lacio; one in the Library of the Palace, at I^Iadrid , the other at Copenhagen in the Bibliotlieca Thot- tiana , now merged into the Royal Library. The magnificent collection known as the Trivul/.iana, was commenced by Carlo T.ividzio, a learned abbe, towards the close of the last century. At his death it was divided between his four nephews. Afterwards, the Princess Belgiojoso, daughter of Gii o- lauio Triviilzio, inherited two parts, which are .still preserved in her palaces in the country. The oiher two parts became under the en- lightened direction of Giovanni Gia- como and Georgio Trivul/.io, the Bibliotheca Trivulziana, such as we see it at present in the palace of the Piazza di ?. Alessandro at Milan. It is in the cusiody of the most kind and obliging Marchionness Rinr.ccini Trivulzio. I ^L de Varnhagen has published pseudonymously a Spanish text of this letter, borrowed from a MS. of the XVIth century, said to have been originally preserved in th> Colegio Mayor de Cuenca {Prim: . episio'a del Aliiiiranle don Cri.^to':'.

In the introduction to these in- teresting volumes, tlie editor ex- presses the op'nion that Coiunib - inslcid of two letters wrote only one concerning his first voyage.

We only found an entry, which may by induction enable us to lix i|be time of the Admiral's presence in the city.

It is a small folio of eighty-four leaver,, incomplete, written in a large, bold yet juvenile hand, which bears no resemblance whatever to the small, angular, neat handwriting of the Admiral, as we see it in the letters signed by him. Our impression is that it is a copy of the extracts furnished by Caspar Gorricio, made by Fernando, when he was a lad, under the direction of his . father, who doubtless wrote the annotations and the! letter addressed to the Catholic Kings.' | The second book 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: j jilo0U5 t Itfict bfii matfi pauli tic Ucncrija be to fuctutiinilnio ct rDbfdaiiffiuii oricntaHu rccionu n faiilgnri in latinu Ci'atiurtu!i pec frnttc fcnnriJjrfi || tie pepuri^ be tjanania.

III. XIX A diligent search into the archives of the fourteen towns or hamlets on the Corniche road, which claim to have given birth to the great navigator, failed to bring to lijijht any new document concerning his early life. We found only traditions, either extremely vague or ftrising from a few deeds signed by some Colombo in the first half of the XVth century, all of which have been duly set forth by Casoni,' Isnardi' and the authors already mentioned in the B. A. V. and Notes on Cohimbus. Still, new pamphlets and books appear occasionally to bolster the claims of this or that locality. Just at present, an effort is being made in favour of Terra-Rossa,^ with no better proofs than those already alleged. We were in hopes that the archives of the city of Genoa might be richer, but there again we were dis- ' > Annali delta Refpubliea di Geneva, ^cnova, 1708, fol. p. 27. s Nuovi documenti originali, Genova, 1840, Svo.

As to the claims of Calvi, in Cor- sica, they were ba>ed on the alleged assertion of M. Giubega that when after the destruction of the archives of Corsica by the Engli.^h, a new census was ordered by M. de Serre;. il|l!l; yx Introdtiction. 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 all doors open to us, our search proved fruitless, even in the Carlularii, which, we thought, might contain the correspondence with the Spanish Government when an attempt was doubtless made to collect the io"o of the revenue arising from the newly discovered lands, which were assigned to the Bank of St. Georges, by Columbus, April 2d, 1 502, for the purpose of diminishing the tax on eatables. The letter conveying the gift, and the Libro de traslados de cartas y otro de mi [sii] privilcgios at 7ina barjata de cordovan Colorado cnsn scrrada deplata" mentioned by the Admiral in his letter of December 28th 1504, are now preserved (minus the silver clasps) in the Custodia of the City Hall of Genoa, together with Paganini's fiddle. As to manuscript maps in the archives of the Bank, we only saw several vellum charts, all referring to Sar- dinia, Corsica and the East. The Genoese were amon" the best hydrographers of the XVIth Century, as may be seen from Mr. Belgrano's description' of the charts he found in the parochial registers the birth-certificate of Cln-istopher Cohimbus [Revue de Paris, \'ol. xxxir, p. 53; Galetti, Ilistoire de la Corse, 1843, Svo, p. 25). We received in 1867 two letters from Calvi, proving those statements to have been wholly erroneous. I Reiuiiconto del lavori fatta dalla Soeleth Ligtve, Genoa, 1867, Svo. This interesting account omits a most beautiful portolano, which we have seen in the Biblioteca Capitolare cf Verona.

Venice is richer in documents of this description, although we did not succeed in finding either at the Frari or in the Marciana, any act or letters hearing directly on Columbus. Yet, at one time, the archives of the latter city contained at least one original document relating to the subject before us. We read in I^arin's too little known history of Venetian Commerce, tnat this painstaking author saw and read himself, as late as the beginning of the present century, the memorial SKidressed 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 hiad been despoiled by the Austrian Government for the aftcond time. On the 2 2d of July 1866, a Moravian llenedictine. called Beda Diidik, by order of the Emperor, afld with the aid of a company of Austrian soldiers, took ,by force 1431 packages (/lize) of written documents from ^ Frari and Marciana. These, added to the 3700 jUzc taken in the same manner by H. S. Gassier in 1^3 — $,^ were more than sufficient to produce a chasm, wbich nothing could ever fill, inasmuch as among these afphives were the thirty-three volumes of Commemoriali, ifl|A\hich we expected to find the documents in question. -% ■ A "Mentie io era del Consiglio di otteiie il dcsidcr.ito accoglimento."

XXll Introduction. IV. Concerning Americus Vespuccius, we did not succeed in finding in Italy any document either emanating from or relating directly to him after he had emigrated from Florence; but there is no lack of letters which may serve to write a new biography of the Florentine navigator, from the year when he was born (1452, stile comune) to the supposed date of his departure from Spain. We have seen notices extracted from the Libri Baptismi preserved in Santa Maria del Fiore, and Rook II of the Eta Qnarti in Santa Maria Novella, which deserve to be consulted for a new genealogical 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 1 49 1. 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 all are directed either to Pisa or Florence. As to the well-known letter written by Americus to his father in October 1476, first discovered by Bandini in the Strozzi library,* it nov graces M. Feuillet de Conches's private collection in Paris. This and two or three signatures added to receipts which were brought to light by Navarrete, constitute the I Cartel del Medici avanti il prin- 2 Vita e Lettere di Amerigo, Vespucci eipato; Filza 68, General Archives of Gentiluomo Fiorentino, Firenze, 1745, Tuscany, in Florence. 4to, p. xxvii.

All the accounts If his voyages, whether in Italian or Latin, are fraught Irith such contradictions, that we cannot even say that i^e possess, beyond that unimportant letter, a single line written by the Florentine navigator. But there is a map which once belonged to him. It is manuscript copy on vellum of Valsequa's chart of 1439, ^hich bears the inscription: Qiicsta ampla pclle di gco- mphia fii pagata da Ainengo Vespucci cxxx ducati di vo di mar CO, In 1838 it was still in the library of [ount de Montenegro at Palma, in the island of Majorca.' ^^e know of no other object having belonged to [espuccius. Of the Italian edition of the four voyages frequently ioted as having been printed exclusively for ten of the )vereigns of Europe, we know at present four copies, viz: I See a deaci iption in Notices des wnscrits de V Academic des Inscript. YBelles-Lellres, Vol. XIV, partll, p 28. iThib curious chart seems to have ered some damage, if we may ige from the lively description liich our illustrious friend George |rd has given in one of her wittiest mast entertaining works: i«tn transcrivant cette note [M.

Its Ubrary, together with what was left of the books be- longing to the Convents of Andaluzia, now forms part of the University library at Seville. 3 According to M. de Varnhage: Pacini had his press not at Pesci: but in Florence. 4 Xolizia di una antica edizionet liana, in Del piimore scopritore, /. imce, 1809, 8". 5 The Poggiali and Revicky libr; ries were united by Ferdinand III, : I H III Introduction.

Yet, the de Billy, Heber and Grenville copies may be the same. When was this valuable work printed? In the B.A. V. w-e ascribed the date "circa 1516," because the de Billy copy was found bound together with a work bearing the imprint of 1 5 1 6, which, in the opinion of Peignot who had seen and compared the two books, seemed to "avoir ete imprime en meme tems." But this, we confess, can be no sure test. If the de Billy copy is bound with a plaquette of 15 16, the Poggiale copy contained under the same cover a work printed in 1506, whilst the Varnhagen copy had, in addition to the latter, a book issued from the press of a printer, Lotrian who commenced his trade only in 151 8.' As to the similarity between the types used, we find that Peignot sees no difference between this Italian Vcspuccuis and the Corsali letter of 1516, while M. de Varnhagen asserts that both his Vcspiiccius and the Basilhts of 1 506 were printed with the same characters. Must we suppose that after a lapse of ten years Stephano di Carlo da Pa via and Pietro Pacini da Pescia, used the same font? If the passage from Girolamo Priuli's diary, quoted by Foscarini' and dated July 9th 1 506, applies to this edition of Vespuccius's voyages, then the point is setded. It reads as follows: form the Pitti palace collection , but » Loltin, Catalogue Chronologique des became in 1S15, the neucleus of the Libraires, p, 115.

D XXVI Introduction. * I' iiillli I'M "Oiiesta navigazione, e la natiira delle persone, e li viaggi, e li venti, e tutto sono in stanipa notati con gran intellicrenza." Nor should we forget, in connection with the above extract, that there was a manuscript copy of the text of the four voyages of Vespuccius in Italian, already in existence so early as the year 1 504, since in the Maglia- bechiana' there is a copy made from a transcript which contains a certificate to the effect that a Florentine notary had copied it on the loth of February of that year. On the other hand, 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 original account, since it contains many such words as an Italian living in Spain would, in the course of time, introduce into his vernacular. At all events, it is almost certain that it was from this text that the French version which served for the Latin translation published with Waltzemiiller's Cos moo-rap hid Introductio and that we know now to have been made by Basin de Sandacour^ "ex italico sermone in gallicum et ex gallico in latinum," was taken.^ Let us hope • "Copiata hoggi questo di X de Febbraio Mccccciij. per me ser Lorenzo di Piero Choralmi da Uicomano."

'« The subsequent voyages of Vespuccius were only supposed to have been undertaken, but thanks to Mr. Rawdon Brown, who at Venice in 1867, most kindly called our attention to a certain collection of Ambassa- dors's dispatches, which is preserved in the Marciana, ve are enabled to present our readers with authentic proofs of a fifth voyage. These consist in two short letters written by FVancesco Cornaro, the Venetian Ambassador to the Court of Spain, which are as follows : "hisuper si dice questa M''' haver dato circa 1 9m. Ducati mj.

By means of that journal, and at the request ither of Clement VIP or of Villiers de I'lsle Adam,^ irand Master of the Rhodian knights, Pigafetta wrote fuller account of the expedition. Three out of four of the manuscripts of the time now )reserved in the libraries of Europe, are written in the Tcnch language.

I who was a Frenchman, and tliat French was the languagJ of the Rhodian knights, to which order Pigafetta hinisell belonged, it is natural to suppose that the account waJ originally written in French. We know of four manuscripts, to all of which paleo j graphers agree in ascribing the date of the first quarterl of the sixteenth century. The first, (A), bears the following title : .l'5aui0atian ct bcframircnicm be la tTntiic || fiipcriciitc) fiiktc pau man nntljoniic pigayljctc ll Pinccntin rljc iianicc be iiljobc^. il The second tide of A is as follows : ^ntljoinc pigaplictc patriae Ufnmitin ctHrrjcnanicrl be llljobe^t % 3;Uiiftriffinic etlltrcci ejrcellent feioneiir pijilippe be liiller'j TOleaben Jnclite jjrnnt maiftre tif| liljobepllfon feiflneiii: offeruatiffinie iU 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 twenty- four coloured drawings or maps. On the margin of the seventh leaf we notice the following annotation in an old hand writing: '^La tcrre dite dc Vcrziii est ce qui s^appelle mijourdJuiy anicrigiie nicndionalle" 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 all. It is preserved in the Paris National Library under the following designation: ^^Ancicn No. 10270 B.aiijoiirdliiii Ponds FraJiqais 5650." Introduction. XXXI The title of the second inanuscript, (B) is as follows: f Niiuigation ct dcfcoucmcnt dc la Indicllfupc- rieure faictc par moy Anthoinc li Pigaplictc Vin- Iccntin chcuallicr dc Rhodes li ^ Anthoinc Pigaphctc IPatricic Vinccntin ct chcuallicr ll dc Rhodes.

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\De la Spcrc (sic)\ -f- sixteen leaves for the latter treatise. The chapters are divided exactly as in A, except that one has a heading which, like the tide, is in t Roman characters, whilst the rest of the work is written [in gothic letters. We find the same number of plates 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 vellum, 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 in the same places as in A. This beautiful 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 Franqais, No. 24224." nil XXXIl Introduction. The title of the thirtl manuscript, (C), wliich we copy' from Thomassy aiul Libri, is as follows: Nauigatioii ct dcscouurcniciir dc la Iiulc fiipc- ricurc ct ilcs Al()liia|uc ou naiirciit Ics cloux d (iiroHc, faictc par Anthoinc Pigaphctc Vinccntii: chcvallicr dc Rhodes, (^omiiicnccant en Ian iMii \ ct \V H. NEAGECnO.' III! 1^' This is also a splendid manuscript written on vellum tastefully illuminated by an artist who is of the time of the La V^alliere codex. It was first made known by M. Thomassy,' who found it in 1 84 1 in the library of the late M. Heaupre, at Nancy. Libri says that it seems tt have been once the property of Cardinal de Lorraine. This may well be, as the Cardinal was brodier to Francis, known as the Grand Prt'citr, whose whole life was devoted to the welfare of the Rhodian knij^hts, with J whom he lived at Malta after they had been constrained j by the Turks to abandon the island of Rhodes. In 1720, the Ms. was still in the convent of St. Leopold at Nancy, i In March 1851, it was sold under the hammer at Pari.s,'| and appeared again at the Solar sale in April 1861, where it was purchased by a London bookseller, who; probably sold it to Libri. In the catalogue of the latter, this valuable Ms. is minutely and accurately described. It is now in the library of Sir Thomas Philip, at Cheltenham, Thomassy, who compared it with A and B, says that it is the most complete of all. 1 A'e age cito. 2 Bulletin de la Sociiti de Glogrophie, for September 1843. 3 Totier sale, No. 506. 4 Solar Catalogue, No. 5 No. 452, 3238.

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, ISpanish and Venetian, and filled with mistakes of all Ikinds. It contains twenty-one separate plates and maps. Like the P>ench versions it is dedicated to V'illiers de h'lsle Adam, but bears the following annotation: "Ce \lilirc est dii Chcvallicr dc Forntc" This ex-libris shows that the Ms. cannot be an original, as the knight [mentioned, (who can only be Jean de Foret') was in the Order at the time when Villiers was still Grand Master; ' and it is not likely that the latter would have made a , present of the original of a work which had been de- [ dicated to him by another knight. The manuscript was discovered at the close of the last century by Carlos Amoretti, who published a version of it with considerable alterations and a valuable introduc- tion in i8oo. The codex is preserved in the Ambrosiana at Milan, under the mark of '"Cod. Chart. L. 103, super" The reader will perceive that a good text of Magellan's voyage is still wanting, for the Ambrosian codex (which has not even been published, since Amoretti's edition is only a translation into modern Italian), is inferior in every respect to any of the French manuscripts, which the learned librarian of the Ambrosiana knew only by repu- tation.

VI. A3 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 Senor Gayangos in the hands of a foreign gentleman residing at the Court. Our in- vestigations in this respect were of no avail; but we describe infra'' an account borrowed from the Scgunda and Tertia, which w as printed in French and Flemish at Antwerp as early as 1523. In regard to manuscript sources we were more success- ful, and beg leave to refer the reader to several letters of importance sent to the Senate of Venice by Gasparo Contarini, the Ambassador to the Court of Spain, and found in the almost illegible volume of manuscript epistles bequeathed to the Marciana by Signor Girolamo Conta- rini in 1843.^ They are as follows: "Ser"'° Principe et Ecc'"° Senato. Havendo in questi giorni havute nove la M'" Ces* di le Indie ^:^er persone venute da quelle parti et intendendose advisi degni di scientia di V. Sub' non ho voluto omettere » As to Fabre's {B. A. V. No. 134) it is only a short abridgment, which was itself again abridged in the Italian version piibliblied at Venice in 1536 (Z>', A. V. No. 215). How can we conciliate the latter publication Vt-ith the privilege for twenty years granted to Pigafeita in 1524? See supra, page xxvii', note J. 2 Nos. 72 and 73. 3 We must again express our thanks to M. Rawdon lirown for having had the extreme kindness of calling our attention to these valuable documents. de sigi nando Insula catan da que doro e quali V^S^ il Juca terra tato el citta che se in una a com guerra mentio jurisdit liberi. persua dientiz • essend signor circa ( volta I cresce questc Temis della dicto et e i torno m- Introduction.

The above are the Latin plaquettes giving an account of Vespuccius' third voyage which have come under our notice since the publication of the Bibliothcca Americana Vdiistissima. We therefore have described already at least eleven different Latin editions siiie anno ant loco, but all 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 his 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 lands, as regions that should be called the Neiv World: "Novum Mundum appelare licet", was written and probaly printed before his departure for a fourth voyage. May loth' 1503, from which he returned June 1 8th 1504. ' "Partimo adi lo. di Maggio 1503." {H. A. I'. No. 87.) 3d leaf afier signit. cij.

This third voyage is the only one of the five or six _ expeditions undertaken westward by Vespiiccius, 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. '^y), and afterwards in Latin by Waltzemiillcr, at St. Diey in 1507 {B. A. K No. 44). The account of Vespuccius' discoveries and adventures which is inserted in the collection called Paeji notiamcnte 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 all the separate editions of this third voyage state that "ex italica in latinam Jocundus interpres hanc epistolam vertit." Who was this Jocundus or Giocondo ? We know now from Lud's Speculum orbis {B. A. V. No. 49) that it was not the "Julianus Bartholoniceus 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 resided in Paris from 1499 to 1507, in the employ of the city% "Et circumferunt, says Lud,^ bibliopolae 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." This extract shows that the original 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 w^ere all made from a Latin copy which some bookseller beyond the Rhine obtained from Paris as early as May 1505. sa th ab 2 Sauval, Ilistoire et recherches dts Antiquilts de Paris, Paris 1724, fol.

K No. i:,. We infer that the first edition is to be sought among the copies printed in Paris. V' 22, 23, 24, 25 oi B. A. v., and the foh'o edition above mentioned, all of which are sine anno ant 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, all of whom exer- cised their art in Paris. Gilles de Gourmont must be thrust out as he did not commence printing until August i507.'' Jehan Lambert and Roce only were printers before and after 1503. Narrowed down to these two names, we do not hesitate to follow in the footsteps of M. d'Avezac, and to name Lambert's edition as the first of all, 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 original was addressed. "Laurentio ^uln/raficisci de Medicis", prints Lambert. "Laurentio Petri de medicis", invariably say all 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 proof-sheets himself.'' ^ 4 I.oiriN Catalogue chronologique lies Libraiies, Taris, 1789, 8vo, PI'- 14, 72. 5 Here, the presence .it the same time, and in the same city, both of the translator and of the printer, authorizes the supposition iliat the edition with a correct title is the piinceps, as the translator may have corrected the proof-sheets himself, Uut when the translator was far away, as in the case of the Rome editions of the epistle addressed by Columbus to Sanchez, the jirobabiliiy is that of two editions sine anno, one with an incorrect, and the other with a correct title, the latter is a corrected edition, and therefore not the princcps. 20 lUbliothcca Amcruatux.

N"* Z2i> 34. 37. 3^) "lacle, as they state, from a Paris Latin edition, insert the name of "Francis", whilst the latest (N " 40 &4 1 of the B. A. V.) omit it. We there- fore consider Jean Lambert's edition as the pn'fi(r/>s, ami also as the original of the first four publications made in the German language. The other Latin editions, including Otmar's, may have been cojMed from Roce's^ which, in all probability is itself only a copy from Lambert's, but without haviiitj had the benefit of the translator's supervision, which accounts for the imperfect rendering of Lcjrenzo de Medici's father's name on the title. As to the text of the Latin editions it is acknowledged in all to be Giocondo's translation. No traces have yet been found of the Italian original from which this separate version was made.

(Private Library, New York.) This edition, which we always consiaered and still believe to be the first, is now supposed by a critic of great acumen and erudition to be only an amalgamated copy. The Hon. Henky C. Murphy writes to us: "I have had the opportunity of examining carefully all the copies of the Cosmographue Jntrociuctio printed at St. Diey in the possession of Mr. J. Carter Brown, 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 Eyries- Yemeniz copy [the present, B. A. V. No. 44] is not an original 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 m ■ill, Additions. 3^ corresponding leaves in the edition called by M. D'Avezac 1 5 O 7 . the 2d \D. A. V. No. 45]. That the second and third editions [N"* 45 and 46] according to his arrangement are the only original edition; his first [No. 44] and fourth [No. 47] being variations alike made up from the 2d and 3d in the manner before stated. The detailed proof I wili give in my memoir." \Vc must now be permitted to give Mr. D'Avezac's opinion (which we share altogether) in his own words: "li faut faire deux parts du contenu du volume, 1° le traite de Waltzemiiller, 2° les quatre navigations de V^espuce. Pour cette derniere partie, je n'ai eu la faculte de cunstater que deux types, I'un avec la date des Kals. de Mai (25 Avril, B. A. V. N°' 44 and 45), I'autre avec la date des Kals. de Septembre (29 Aout, N*" 46 and 47), et je ne suis pas ^ portee de verifier par la disposition des cahiers et des signatures, s'il y a eu en realite des variantes sccondaires dans chacun de ces deux types. Pour la premiere partie il y a deux redactions bien distinctes, I'une caracterisee par la dedicace a I'Empereur faite au nom personnel de Waltzemiiller, c'est I'original [the present No. 24] ; I'autre substituant a Walzemiiller le Gymnasium Vosagcnsc. De ces deux parties A a et Bb, il a pu etre fait plusieurs combinaisons : AB, Ab, al3. ab; niais ce n'est pas tout, il est certain qu'il existe de la seconde redaction de la premiere partie deux types diffcrents et distingues entre eux par la disposition des lignes de la dedicace au verso du frontispice: soit, a —a. Les articles de la B. A. V. N"' 44, 45, 46 et 47, peuvent des lors se traduire ainsi: No. 44 = AH, M 45==aB, „ 46 = ab, „ 47 -Ab, et Ton pourrait peut-etre rencontrer des exemplaires formes suivant d'autres combinaisons, mais ce ne saurait etre des editions diff(^rentes. 32 lUbliotheca Americana. 1507. Pour moi, il n'y a dans tout cela (jusqu'ji verification plus ample des variantes possibles de la scconde partic), que trois editions: AB, aB, a'b; le reste n'offre que des arrangements heteroclites. Waltzemiiiler donne ^ St. Die, le 25 Avril 1507, son edition originale AB, et sen va passer quelque temps a Fribourg en Brisgau, ou peut-etre a Strasbourg. En son absence Gaultier Lud reimprime d'abord sa premiere partie, afin de substituer le Gymnasium Vosagaisc a I'unique Ilacomylus, et il assemble cette reimpression falsifiee avec la seconde partie legitime, ce qui donne aB, puis on fait une reimpression du tout le 29 Avril, et Ton produit ainsi ab. Que AB soit la/nvwzW^ idiiion, et non aB, cela est prouve par le livre meme: au verso du titre meme de A, Ringmann adresse a I'Empereur dix vers finissant par ce distique significatif : Hinc tidi devotu Generale hoc mente dicavit Qui miru prassens arte paravit opus. et lisez en meme temps dans la Margarita philosophica de Strasbourg 1512 , la reclamation de Waltzemiiiler repetee par Humboldt.' Quant au double distique accompagnant sur les cotes I'estampille imprimee au recto du dernier feuillet, la traduction donnee dans la B. A. V. n'est pas exacte. II faut lire comme si les mots etaient ainsi disposes: "Prsesul Deodate! urbs clarescens tuo nomine qua sunt juga montis Vogesi, pressit [hoc] opus et ipsa eadem, Christo favente pressit Monimcnta; tempore venturo premet caetera multa." Gaultier Lud n'est pour rien la-dedans; c'est plutot Waltzemiiiler qui parle, car les Monimenta sont aussi de lui, comme le rappelle sa dedicace a Antoine de Lorraine ' "Ubi [speaking of St. Diey] lit cosniographiam nuper composuimus, nosti, meo potissiiniim ductu et labore depinxhnus, et inipressimus."

Thus, part of Book II, and the whole of Book III, are literally the voyage f)f Cabral, printed at R(^me and at Milan in 1 505 {supra No. 1 8), whilst Book IV is almost verbatim Vercellese's Libretto of 1 504 {supra, Nf). 16). We may hope, theref(;re, to discover yet not only all the original editions which served to prepare the work, hut also the Spanish^ prototype of lk)ok V which describes Vespuccius's third voyage, supposinjf that it was not simply Giocondo's Latin version. As to the claims (jf Fracinzo to the editorship of this useful collection of voyages, they seem to be all containtx! in the short account of the Vicentine professor, writt<;n by Santa Maria.* Since we published our Appendix, shoAving that Zorzi was not the compiler of the Pccji, we have examined ourselves the codices preserved in the Magliabechiana. Wc should state, in the first ^jiace, that the two volumes, evidendy prepared by Alessandro Zorzi for a new edition of the Vicentine collection, and severally lal)elled"Conti", owner who hail tlie kin(liic-.s ti> iieiusc it twice at our rei|uc>.t, lepoiis that it contains no reference whatever to the success of (.'ohimbus and tlie ("abots, or to the speedy reiiirn of (orlercal from the norlli, or lo any of the Irnnsatlantic navigations or navigators. i 1 he fifth book of the /*(»/// follows tlie Latin text so literally that it would be taken untjuestionably for a tianslatioii of the same in the \ icen- tinc dialect but for the assertion that it was "de I.engue Spagnolc inter- prato in Idioma Kufmano]." Our readers are aware ihat the translator into latin of the Paffi {llinei avium PoitUj^alL, />'. A. V. No. 58) stales that he made his iransl.ition of thai voyage from the I'ortugues'* hilst Ktichanier asserts {D. A. V. No. 57) that his was niado from the Italian, Now it is known th^t Vespuccius wrote two accounts of this voyage; one, written in the I'ortugiiese language w.is addressed to king Manocl; the other was a translation into Italian, directed to Lorenzo, the son of I'ietro l''rancesco de Medici. Uolh of these versions are now lost ; but it is certain that (iiocondo of Verona's translation was made from the Italian original. We arc of opinion that the account in the /"(/<■// was transl.ited directly from t'liocondo's I.alin version, whil-i the translations of Kuchamcr, Madri- gnano and I>u Kedouer were made into Oeiman, Latin again and French, from those same IWj'i.

Concerning Alessandro Zorzi himself, we have diligently exanu'ned the numerous Foscarini Mss., preserved in the hiiperial Library at Vienna. In vw!. 6143, recto of page 29, we found only the following meagre account: "Alessandro Zorzi, 1560.

What the learned doge meant by his reference to "Taccuin" is that which neitlier ourselves nor the obliging librarians in the Imperial library could discover. This was so much the more aggravating that Foscarini when mentioning Angelo the Trevisan, or Malipiero, invariably refers to this "Taccuin press(j Forcellini."'' We were surprised to find that the onl)- works which Foscarini intended to read for his much talked of chapter 5 "Conti, Siro/zi, in .}to, cod J4, from the sixth Ictlcr in Korcellini's f'l.iss XIII, Alberico, (lass xiii, cod. cortCNiiondcncf (\cnice, iS^s. 8vo), 81.'' l)iit \vc failed lo find in the^c letters " FoRcii.i.iM and Foscarini cor- anything akin to the Md)icct. rcsjionded toj^cthcr, .ii> may be seen il 38 Bibliothcca Americana. 1507. on Viaggiatori were taken from the short list given by Lenglet l)ii Fresnoy.

He died at Sevilla, "extra Societatem, fere septuagenarius", says Antonio. 7 I5IO. 50 Bibliothcca Americana. We borrow the present title from Navarrete's posthumous work, Biblioteca Maritima Espaiiola;^ he evidently has seen this original of the Latin trans- lation and commentary written by John Bissel, under the title of Argonauticon Americanum, sive, Histories Periculorum Petri de Victoria, published at Munich, 1647, small i2mo; and in 1698, i2mo, at Amsterdam, by y^gidius Jansson k Waesberge, although with the imprint of "Gedani" (Danzig).

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 episde 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. 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 all are In their original vellum binding. This leads us to think that the present is the form under which the work was first published. 1 5 1 2 . 42.

Yet the book must be cited as containing the first allusion we could find to the "four naviga- tions" of Vesputius. Our readers are aware that the Florentine navigator was made known chiefly through the account of the third voyage published separately so often and in so many different shapes. The Paefi and its numerous reprints and translations give merely that third voyage as if it were the only one Vesputius ever made; and that Moore should speak of the four voyages, he must have seen the additions to the St. Diey Cosmographia Inti-oductio or the Let- tera in Italian. 1 Opus Epist., epist. 566. 2 Hist, of Ferdinand and Isabella, Vol. Ill, p. 387. 64 Bibliothcca Americana.

Fearing with Rosenbaum' that the text had been altered in Boerhave's edition and Griiner's continuation of Luisino's work', we have diligently examined the originals of all 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 morbjis gallicus as an evil imported from the New World. If the word "aethiopia", can be construed to mean ''les hides occidentales"*, then the work of Fulgosus', first published in 1507, contains the earliest assertion of this character which we could find. If not, it is in Schmaus' Liicubratiuuctda 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): .... in occibcntaM Slnbia in infnia .^pngnola nouitci- rcpcrta ....

The origin of the tradition seems to be that when in consequence of the tract published and so extensively circulated byUlrlch deHutten' in 15 19, it was generally believed that guaiacuiii wood was a specific, which came originally from the New World, physicians jumped at the conclusion that the morbus ^alliens, so called, must have likewise originated in the West-Indies.

Ticknor quoting Sarmiento' says that Juan Padilla rose to important ecclesiastical authority under the crown and in the order of the Carthusians. Direct references : Antonio, Bibliotk. Hispan.

These two books are unquestionably dated "M.D.xxvi," and this is the reason why we place them under this date, but it must be a mistake of the printer: "Pedro Mexia, the chronicler, wrote a Silva, or Mis- cellany, divided in later editions, into six books, and subdivided into a multitude of separate essays, historical anc, moral, declaring it to be the first work of the kind in Spanish. To this, which may be regarded as an imitation of Macrobius or of Athtnaeus, and which was printed in 1544, were added, in 1548, six didactic dialogues." ^TlCK^'OR.I) See infra a description of Spanish editions of 1540, 1542, 1543 and 1547. 82.

Epistola ad Prmincialtm Flandrix de rebus ad fidem Christianam in Novo orbe per- tinentibus. Antuerpia, 1528, 8vo. We copy this title fiom Sefior D. Francisco Gonzales Vera's abridgment of the fifth boolc of fray Geronimo de Mendieta's Historia Eclesiastica Indiana. In tlie Revista de Espana (Vol. Ill, No. II, p. 387) it is given as a work printed at Antwerp; but on page 384 it is stated that "se im- primio en Bruselas el afio 1528." We apprehend that this Antwerp or Brussels edition is apocryphal. Pedro de Gante's above mentioned epistle is doubtless the same which is to be found in the Chronicle of Amandus Zierixcensis (5. A. V. No. 186), where it is dated "Anno Domini 1529. Mensis junij die vicesima septima." We entertain the same doubt con- cerning the Catecismo de la Doctrina Cristiana en lengua Mexicana, ascribed to Pedro de Gante by Dr. Ramon, who (Boletin de la Societ.

If we follow Desmarquetz,^ Jean or Jan Parmentier was born at Dieppe in 1480, as this author states that he 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 was born in 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 153I. 1 A merm;iiJ with the motto AWet h Vhistoire de Dieppe, Paris, 17S5, empta dolore tioluptas, cf.

Estancelin. He is said to have made one of the first complete mappemondes.^ As to Pierre Crignon he was a provincial poet and savant, who is chiefly known 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 meridian, which he was erroneously supposed to have first noticed in 1554.^ Direct references: I'ARFAICT, Hist, du Theatre fran^ois, Paris, 1745 — 49, i2mo, Vol. Ill, p. 134.

Hie present is the first book printed in America; un- fortunately we possess only the last two leaves. 'I lu- fecto of the I'lrst leaf contains a series of verses, of which the above is a facsimile, to which must be added the followinjr lines that the lack of space prevented us from reproducing on the same page : ,^i0Ula piacbmo nlljll ibe rciirrrc paffis: ^i ijiacct) oe legiip^ orbine bifijoritimt i5c bibciirc (cauO facris igiiauup^ afiuti: ^\i bccct abul0ilii^ : niittito bcfibiani.

From which wo infer that the work commenced on the recto of the title-page with a dedication to Charles V of S|)ain. The last erratum repTs to "la hoja \xxvj." As tlu^ table shows an erraUim for almost ever)' page, if th(.' list ends with the thirty-sixth leaf, the probability is that tin; work was composed of thirtj-eight leaves, the last two for the parts above descriheil. I'rom the fact that tlu: four pages still in existence seom to bolong to a Ic.if simpl)' folded in two, we suppose that tin: text and title formed nine signatures, a — i, all in fours. The first tliree lines of Cabrera's verses are printed in red. Until within a few years, these valuable fragments formed part of a volume, bound in vellum, and preserved in the Hiblioteca Provincial of Toledo, under the mark of "3 — 35 — 4." These few leaves, known under the sup- jjosed title of the book. viz. Manual dc ^Idultos, sud- denly disap[)eared from Toletlo, but were found a couple of years ago, by its [)resent owner, theerutlite Senor don l'as(jual de (lajangos, on a book stall in London. lUit this time, these two precious leaves were bound b)- themselves in boards, with some blank paper, and the adtlition of a large engraved liook plate, representing what seems to us the arms of the Uuke of Sussex, with the motto: ..SV dais pro nobis . <]uis . coulra nos., antl the following mark : IX. 1''. d, 2 i . As to the writer of the above poetical effusion, he was apostolical notary, in Mexico, and certifietl as such, as early as September 1535, the document relating to the establishment of the bisliopric of that city, the original of which is now preserved in die library of Saml.

The present is a collection of three different works, each with a different pagination and colophon, but all printed by the same hand and within one month of each other. Although extremely valuable as one of the Spanish classics, it is interesting to American collectors chiefly on account of the long Epistola al muy illustre sehor do Hernando Cortes Marques del valle descubridor y conqidstador de la niieua Espaua, which opens the Dza- logo de la Digm'dad del Hoinbre. The original edition is so scarce that a new one which is about to be published in Mexico, was prepared from the reprint of 1772 (Madrid, Fr. Cerda y Rico, 4to). Francisco Cervantes de Salazar is supposed to have been born in the city of Toledo towards the year 152 i. He spent his 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 oration 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 Mcmorias written by Cervantes, but which stem to have dis- appeared. ' Ai.AMAN, Diseitadoncs, Mexico, 4 B. A.

Rembert Dodonseus or Dodoens, a great physician, scholar and botanist, was born at IMalines, June 29th, 1 5 1 8, and died at Leyden, March 10th, 1585. He was the Emperor Maximilian's physician, and became afterwards professor in the University of Leyden. Several of his botanical treatises may contain descriptions of American plants. The present is the first original work written by Dodoens, having until then only published translations. ^ Gli Scrillon iC Italia. \'o\.\,Va.\t.l, page 2S5, and KoNlG.

The work is dedicated to Juana de Zufiiga, 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 religious tract was sent her by the Bishop of Mexico, and translated at her request into Spanish by some one residing in New-Spain: "^e Ijuena gana "^itx.

The last leaf ends with a large woodcut of Minerva. On the title-page, woodcut of a double-headed eagle escutcheon. (Biblioteca Casatenense, Rome.) The bull is entitled: DECRETVM ET INDVLTVM ALEXANDRI SEXTl SVPER expeditione in barbaros novi orbis quos Indos vacant. In the present copy, which is the only one we could find anywhere, to the last figure in the date is added a V, making it read M.D.L.V., but it is an interpolation made with a pen and common ink.
