This is the first English translation of Pedro de Medina's "Libro de cosmographia". It provides a comprehensive picture of the pre-Comlumbian universe as seen by a leading cosmographer of sixteenth century Spain. In addition to Ursula Lamb's translation, Medina's manuscript, written in clean, gothic hand, is reproduced in fascimile. Mrs. Lamb's commentary provides a background in sixteenth-century cosmography, biographical details on Medina, and a discussion of the "Libro" in relation to three other extant cosmographic manuscripts by Medina.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
