Pour la rédiger, l'auteur s'appuya sur des ouvrages publiés par Xerez, Oviedo, Cieça de Leon, Zarate, Acosta, Rodriguez, ainsi que sur plusieurs sources manuscrites. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First french edition forming volumes 18 and 19 of the Voyages, relations et mémoires originaux pour servir à l'histoire de la découverte de l'Amérique, issued by H.
