The Letters of Amerigo Vespucci, and Other Documents Illustrative of His Career: Translated, With Notes and an Introduction (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Letters of Amerigo Vespucci, and Other Documents Illustrative of His Career: Translated, With Notes and an Introduction
Porto Seguro in Brazil, published a book at Lima,1 where he was accredited as Brazilian Minister, with the object of rehabilitating the Florentine's character for honesty, by arguing that the story of the alleged voyage in 1497-98 was worthy of credit. This makes it desirable that the whole question should once more be discussed. Varnhagen at least deserves the thanks of all students of the history of American discovery for having published, in an accessible form, both the Latin and the Italian texts of the letters of Vespucci.
