Two volume set. Octavo, green cloth & boards (hardcover), paper labels to spines and upper covers, uncut, tissue-protected frontis., lxxiii, [1], 271, [1]; xv, [1], 383, [1] pp. Fine in worn slipcases. From Preface: The documents here published for the first time form the only considerable body of contemporary materials extant relating to the attempt by Tristan de Luna y Arellano to seize and hold the land of La Florida. In its general outlines the episode has been known principally from Fray Augusin Davila Padilla's Historia de la fundacion y discurso de la provincia de Santiago de Mexico, first printed in 1596 as the chief record of the activities of the Dominican Order in New Spain. The account of the Luna expedition (appearing in the 1625 edition on pages 189-229) was obtained in part at least from Fray Domingo de la Anunciacion, one of the expeditionaries. But his account was given to Davila some thirty years after the event, and hence falls into the class of memoirs or reminiscences rather than that of contemporary narratives. The hitherto known contemporary materials which concern this attempt at expansion are scant in number. A fragment of a letter by Fray Pedro de Feria, who became vicar-provincial of La Florida under Luna, dated on March 3, 1559, concerning the religious plan of the expedition, was quoted in part by John Gilmary Shea, "Ancient Florida," in Winsor, Narrative and Critical History of America, II. 256; it is listed by James Alexander Robertson, List of Documents in Spanish Archives Relating to the History of the United States, No. 1128. A letter by Fray Domingo de Santa Maria, Dominican provincial of Mexico, advising plans for the spritiual conquest, is found in Cartas de Indias, pp. 134-137 (Robertson, List, No. 115). The report of Guido de las Bazares concerning his preliminary reconnaissance of the northern Gulf coast as a preparation for Luna's expedition is in Buckingham Smith's collection of manuscripts on North America, and is printed in French as "Compte-rendu par Guido de las Bazares," in Ternaux-Compans, Voyages, relations, et memoires originaux. serie II, tom. VIII. (Paris, 1841) Recueil de pieces sur La Floride, pp. 143-155. It appears in English in B. F. French, Historical Collections of Louisiana and Florida, second series (New York, 1875), p. 236, followed by an account of the voyage of Angel de Villafane, 1561 (Robertson, List, Nos. 124, 1125; cf. No. 1128). The letter of the viceroy Luis de Velasco to Philip II. Florida, Floridiana, Florida History, U. S.
