Hardcover. Condition: VG. Important Early Collection of New World Travels With a Lengthy Introduction by Sebastian M nster A nice example of the Paris printing of Huttich's geography, an important very early collection of New. Folio. 18th-century mottled sheep, six raised spine bands. Fleuron stamped in blind… within spine compartments. Front hinge starting, with crack along lower 3 inches. Some rubbing and moderate wear to binding extremities. Early ownership name (effaced) in upper margin of title page and first dedication page (printed area unaffected). Light old outline dampstaining affecting first 35 pages or so. Else internally generally clean. Some early very occasional marginalia in an early hand. With ownership inscription dated 1622 on verso of colophon. 26 leaves, 514 pages, colophon leaf. Tite vignette. Several errors in pagination: 45 is misnumbered 48; 47 is 48; 48 is 49; 51 is 52; 52 is 53; 53 is 55; 56 is 58; 57 is 58; 58 is 59; 512 is 502; 514 is 507). Lacks the very map, as usual. Important Early Collection of New World Travels With a Lengthy Introduction by Sebastian M nster A nice example of the Paris printing of Huttich's geography, an important very early collection of New World material that includes accounts of Columbus's voyages, and other voyages initiated by Spain and Portugal. This edition contains the same text contents as the Basel edition of the same year. Often attributed to Grynaeus, but is more properly credited to Johann Huttich, who compiled most of the work. The work stems from the German-speaking, Protestant intellectual milieu that produced other important early geographical publications. Indeed, the volume opens with Sebastian M nster's 12-page description of the world map that was intended to accompany the book (but is lacking here, as usual), with directions on its use. Published in Paris at the expense of Jean Petit and Galliot du Pr . contains the same material as the Basel edition. The only difference between the two lies in the map, which in the Paris one was designed by Oroncius Finneus - Borba de Moraes. Johann Huttich (1490-1544) was able to access accounts of early Spanish and Portuguese voyagers to America while in Madrid as part of the embassy associated with Charles V's election as Holy Roman Emperor. Included herein are the three voyages of Columbus, as well as those of Vespucci, Pedro Alonso Ni o, Vicente Y nez Pinz n, Pedro Alvares Cabral, and Alvise Cadamosto. In addition to the Portuguese discoveries in Brazil and the East, Huttich incorporates accounts of Marco Polo, and material collected by Peter Martyr. There are also numerous accounts of other European voyages. Huttich's work is one of the earliest to bring together in a single volume a number of otherwise extremely rare contemporary accounts of the earliest explorers, some of which are virtually unobtainable. Contents of the volume here follows: Prefatio Simonis Grynaei ad Collimitium. Preface by Simon Grynaeus. Typi Cosmographici et Declaratio et usus, per Sebastianum Munsterum. Introduction by Sebastian M nster. Voyage of Cadamosto (c 1432-1488), Venetian explorer and trader. The first three voyages of Columbus Voyage of Pedro Alonso Ni o Voyage of Vicente Y ez Pinz n Third voyage of Vespucci Voyage of Pedro Alvares Cabral Narrative of the Indian Jos Vespucci's four voyages (according to the Cosmographiae Introductio by Waldseemuller). King Manuel's letter to Pope Leo X on the conquests in India Voyages of Ludovico Varthema Description of the Holy Land Three books by Marco Polo Book of the Tartars by Haython Two books on Sarmatia by M. de Miecho.

Some marginal notes in an early hand. Title page toned, with old cross-out ink name. Latin inscription on front pastedown dated 1608. Important Early Collection of New World Travels With a Lengthy Introduction by Sebastian M nster This Edition With the Addition of Cortes's 2nd & 3rd Letters One of the earliest collections of voyages, originally published in 1532, compiled by Johann Huttich, with a preface by Simon Grynaeus (to whom the work is sometimes erroneously attributed), containing the voyages of Columbus, Cadomosto, Vespucci, Cabral, and part of the Fourth Decade of Peter Martyr, as well as additional non-American voyages. Notably, the present edition adds important accounts not found in earlier editions, including Cortes's 2nd and 3rd letters, as well as the narratives of Juan Zum rraga's and Martin de Valencia. Huttich's geography is an important very early collection of New World material that includes accounts of Columbus's voyages, and other voyages initiated by Spain and Portugal. This book stems from the German-speaking, Protestant intellectual milieu that produced other important early geographical publications. Indeed, the volume opens with Sebastian M nster's 12-page description of the world map that was intended to accompany this book (but is lacking here), with directions on its use. Johann Huttich (1490-1544) was able to access accounts of early Spanish and Portuguese voyagers to America while in Madrid as part of the embassy associated with Charles V's election as Holy Roman Emperor. Included herein are the three voyages of Columbus, as well as those of Vespucci, Pedro Alonso Ni o, Vicente Y nez Pinz n, Pedro Alvares Cabral, and Alvise Cadamosto. In addition to the Portuguese discoveries in Brazil and the East, Huttich incorporates accounts of Marco Polo, and material collected by Peter Martyr. There are also numerous accounts of other European voyages. Huttich's work is one of the earliest to bring together in a single volume a number of otherwise extremely rare contemporary accounts of the earliest explorers, some of which are virtually unobtainable. In addition to several handsome woodcut capitals, there are two woodcuts in the text, including an illustration of a snake wrapped around a tree (page 21) and a version of Vespucci's triangle (page 93), here in a cosmographic diagram representing the earth's sphericity. S. Leitch has written on Vespucci's diagram and its influence on the emerging field of cosmography. Vespucci s diagram was brought into the orbit of astronomic notation where it helped the viewer to visualize cosmographic principles. The itinerary of this triangle in early 16th century print culture tracks the merging of diagrammatic thinking of astronomical propositions with other genres in the nascent field of cosmography - S. Leitch. Book.

[24] [1]-599 [1]. 624 pp. Lacking the woodcut world map attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger and Sebastian Münster. Woodcut printer's devices on title and verso of last leaf, historiated initials, head and tail pieces, woodcut illustrations on pp. 127-…29. Title, Contents, Dedication, Grynaeus's Text, Index, Texts. Contemporary ink manuscript annotations in margins. Contemporary full limp vellum with brown ink manuscript title on spine and remanants of two pairs of leather ties, with pill-shaped watermark on laid paper, a blue cloth clamshell box with gilt-lettered leather titling-piece on spine A fine example of the most influential collection of early sixteenth-century travel literature. Besides the three voyages of Columbus, the present work includes descriptions of those of Petrus Alonzo and Pinzo, three of Vespucci's four voyages, and Peter Martyr's De Insulis Nuper Inventis. According to Borba, the present edition is the first to contain the letter of Maximilian of Transylvania reporting the news of Magellan's voyage (p. 585). This augmented edition holds the second and third letters of Cortes, and selected letters of Juan Zumarraga, the first Archbishop of Mexico. Though the account of Magellan's voyage was originally published in 1522 in a 16-leaf ephemeral edition of a letter addressed to Charles V, its appearance in Grynaeus's collection of voyages marks the first time his landmark discoveries appear in an historical context side-by-side with those of Columbus, Vespucci, and the Portuguese navigators.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First. THE FIRST MAP TO SHOW THE EARTH REVOLVING ON ITS AXIS. First edition. Basel: Io[hannes] Hervagius, 1532. Pot folio in 6s (11 1/2" x 8", 292mm x 204mm). [Full collation available.] With a folding woodcut map (Harrisse A) of the world excised and framed separately. Bound in contemporary limp… vellum with yapp edges and tawed leather ties. On the spine, Navigationes et descrip.es orbis inked vertically in fine humanist script. All edges of the text-block speckled red. Presented in a grey cloth clam-shell box with a morocco spine-label gilt. Some rippling and a little soiling to the vellum. All four ties partly perished. Rear paste-down split at the head. Lacking quire [delta] (between [gamma] and "a": 12 pp. Münster's notes to the map). Map excised and framed. Some very mild tanning throughout the text, with occasional leaves with more pronouned darkening. Some very restrained early ink marginalia. In all, a lovely unsophisticated copy. The clam-shell box split at the front hinge, and the label coming up and partly perished. With the morocco label of Michael Sharpe to the inside of the front of the box. Although the map (rightly) has a nearly electromagnetic pull, being the first to indicate Copernicus' model of the revolving world (predating his 1543 De revolutionibus by 11 years), the book in which it was published is monumental in its own right: the first collection of voyages. The work emerges from the humanistic forge of the German-speaking Protestant world. Johann Huttich (Huttichius, 1490-1544) was part of the embassy that led Charles V to Madrid to announce his election as Holy Roman Emperor. While there he gained access to the accounts of Spanish and Portuguese (or Iberian-funded) explorers of the Americas (Cadamosto (whence the title-label), Columbus, Niño, Pinzón, Vespucci, Peter Martyr d'Anghiera) in addition to a great many voyages elsewhere (including Marco Polo) in Eurasia. While most of these had been printed elsewhere, their union in a single edited work is the first time we can discern the genre of voyages. Simon Grynaeus (Griner, 1493-1541) was a student of Melanchthon's at Pforzheim, and is perhaps best known for finding and editing the first five books of Livy's history of Rome (1531) that would be published by Erasmus. His role, Harrisse and others argue, was principally as prefator. Sebastian Münster (1488-1552), whose principal job was professor of Hebrew, would nevertheless go on in 1544 to publish the Cosmographia, the first description of the world in German. Shirley attributes the map to him, and indeed his twelve-page description of the map and its use suggests at the very least a deep involvement in its production. The final name attached to the work is that of Hans Holbein (The Younger, 1497-1543), who cut the fanciful border of the map with its cannibals and elephant hunt. In short, the Novus Orbus is the collective effort of some of the great humane minds of the Protestant Reformation. The map is Harrisse A ("we are inclined to consider as the genuine map;" Shirley is agnostic about precedence), distinguished by the large "ASIA". As such it is the first visual representation of the revolutionary model of the world: it revolves around a notional axis, and it is that action that accounts for daily and seasonal change. Münster (or Holbein) depicts this with angels at the North and South Poles powering the revolution via crank. Michael Sharpe worked for many years as an antiquarian bookseller. The present item was bought at his sale (Sotheby's New York, 11 December 2008, lot 178).

[Full collation available.] With a folding woodcut map (Harrisse A) of the world (inserted before Münster's notes to the map). Boun…d in (later) stiff vellum.

Presented in a modern quarter green morocco slip-case, with a chemise. Wear to the fore-corners, with some scuffs and gouges to the boards. Small areas of worming or wear.

Morocco labels of Marvyn Carton and ex-libris B[ernardo] Mendel to the front paste-down.

Münster (or Holbein) indicates the revolving world with angels at the North and South Poles powering the revolution via crank. Frederik Muller (1817-1881) was an Amsterdam bookseller specializing in maps. He gained great renown (and some infamy) as a bibliographer; the Frederik Muller Akademie was established as a school of book history (and now part of the Hogeschool van Amsterdam). Bernardo Mendel (1895-1967) was a decorated Viennese WWI soldier who, luckily, moved to Colombia in 1928 and remained there until 1952. He began collecting material principally related to the Americas, and eventually ran the Harper bookshop in New York. His collection eventually was given to the Lilly Library at the University of Indiana at Bloomington beginning in 1961, and it is from this collection that the present item was released as a duplicate. It then was owned by Marvyn Carton (1917-2004), an investment banker and trustee of Brown University. He endowed the Kapstein chair in literary arts at Brown.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First. THE NEBENZAHL COPY, CONTAINING THE FIRST MAP TO SHOW THE EARTH REVOLVING ON ITS AXIS. First edition, map state A. Basel: Io[hannes] Hervagius, 1532. Folio in 6s (11 5/8" x 8 1/16", 296mm x 205mm). [Full collation available.] With a folding woodcut map (Harrisse A) of the world (inserted at… pp. 11-12). Bound in (1581, per the front board) calf over beveled wooden boards with clasps. On the front, a silver (in all instances oxidized to black) Crucifixion within blind borders within a silver repeating allegorical border with the figures of the four Virtues within a blind border, with silver corner-fleurons within a blind border. On the rear, an Annunciation at the center, otherwise identical. On the spine, four raised bands with blind fillets. In the panels, blind borders. Paper label manuscript to the first panel. Brass catches with clasp (one lacking) incised with hatching, rays and concentric circles. All edges of the text-block dotted in red and blue. Lacking one clasp. Staining to the boards. Fore-corners (except the lower rear) worn. Head- and tail-pieces perished. Front board split, but binding cords firm. The map has some small repaired tears at the folds, but is altogether very good. Scattered worming to the boards, and one discreet wormhole from 2b2 through to the rear board (with a patch of worming to the rear paste-down and free end-paper. Scattered tanning. In a sixteenth-century hand, some ink marginalia and underlining throughout but concentrations of intense comment from pp. 298-363 and 2318-323 (mis-numbered 327). In all, a volume that has been used and perused, but still robust and solid. With the bookplate of Kenneth Nebenzahl (Christie's New York, 9 April 2012, lot 65).

Münster (or Holbein) indicates the revolving world with angels at the North and South Poles powering the revolution via crank. Widukind of Corvey's (ca. 925-973) chronicle of the Saxons up through the Xc, known as the Res gestae saxonicae, is published here for the first time by Martin Frecht (1494-1556). Often the only account of crucial portions of Saxon history, it also takes as its basis local and oral traditions rather than Roman (or southern) accounts, which are often biased and inaccurate. The present volume comes from the distinguished collection of Kenneth Nebenzahl Jr. (1927-2020), whose 2012 Christie's sale fetched some $11.6M. He was a dealer of the highest order, specializing in maps. Indeed, the Nebenzahl Lectures in the History of Cartography at the Newberry Library in Chicago (the first speaker was the great authority R.A.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First. THE FIRST MAP TO SHOW THE EARTH REVOLVING ON ITS AXIS, IN AN EXCEPTIONAL CONTEMPORARY BINDING. First edition. Basel: Io[hannes] Hervagius, 1532. Pot folio in 6s (11 7/8" x 8 3/16", 302mm x 208mm). [Full collation available.] With a folding woodcut map (Harrisse A) of the world (inserted be…fore p. 1). Bound in contemporary clasped tooled pigskin over beveled wood boards. On the boards, a central panel of opening buds, surrounded by a roll of heads in roundels, surrounded by a roll of rosettes, surrounded by a roll of allegorical figures (Venus, Lucretia, Prudentia) dated 1532 within a border of opening buds left-and-right, and acanthus and guilloche top-and-bottom. On the spine, four raised bands. Paper labels in the first, fourth) and fifth panels. On the first-panel label, "Grynaeus" in ink manuscript. On the upper edge of the textblock "Novus orbis. Item(?) no 68" in ink manuscript. Presented in quarter morocco slipcase with chemise. Rubbing and wear to the extremities, especially at the fore-corners. Some tarnish and discoloration to the clasps. On the rear covering, an extant (i.e., present before binding) hole in the pigskin has a patch underneath. Some scattered worming to the boards A small stain to the upper fore-corner (not affecting text) o5-s6. Some marginal foxing and overall mild toning, with the odd leaf more uniformly darkened. Ownership inscription of Johannes Craesselius (twice), gift inscription from him, inscription of the Jesuit College in Graz with a catalog indication (dated to 1633) and then another catalog indication of (transfer to?) the mathematical library, dated 1674. With a few marginal comments (by Craesselius?), i.a. p. 392. Although the map (rightly) has a nearly electromagnetic pull, being the first to indicate Copernicus' model of the revolving world (predating his 1543 De revolutionibus by 11 years), the book in which it was published is monumental in its own right: the first collection of voyages. Johann Huttich (Huttichius, 1490-1544) gathered the accounts of Spanish and Portuguese explorers of the Americas in addition to a great many voyages elsewhere (including Marco Polo) in Eurasia. Their union in a single edited work is the first time we can discern the genre of voyages. Simon Grynaeus (Griner, 1493-1541) was principally a prefator. To Sebastian Münster (1488-1552) Shirley attributes the map. Hans Holbein (The Younger, 1497-1543) cut the fanciful border of the map with its cannibals and elephant hunt. In short, the Novus Orbus is the collective effort of some of the great humane minds of the Protestant Reformation. The map is Harrisse A ("we are inclined to consider as the genuine map;" Shirley is agnostic about precedence), distinguished by the large "ASIA". Münster (or Holbein) indicates the revolving world with angels at the North and South Poles powering the revolution via crank. This exceptional intact binding enjoys the additional distinction of being dated to the year of publication, although of course that only dates the roll itself, which may well have been used for many years. This roll appears identical to one attributed to Caspar Angler (made master in 1526, died ca. 1565) who worked at the court of Albert, first Duke of Prussia. Johann Craesselius (Johannes Krösel, ca. 1555-1633) was a theologian, poet and librarian, first at Ingolsadt and then at Graz. In Graz, he was chaplain and librarian of Archduke Ferdinand II. Some 222 of his books are now in the collection of the University of Graz. Purchased at the 2007 Christie's New York sale of Frank S. Streeter (16 April, lot 273), who died in 2006. Son of the legendary Americana collector Thomas Streeter, his own collecting interest was navigation and voyages, and so the present volume must, as the first collection of accounts of voyages, have enjoyed pride of place among Streeter's shelves.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First. THE FIRST MAP TO SHOW THE EARTH REVOLVING ON ITS AXIS. First edition, map state A (Harrisse). Basel: Io[hannes] Hervagius, 1532. Pot folio in 6s (11 1/16" x 7 7/16", 231mm x 189mm). [Full collation available.] With a folding woodcut map (Harrisse A) of the world (inserted before p. 1). Bou…nd in somewhat later half speckled calf over sprinkled boards. On the spine, three raised bands. In the panels, gilt floral central ornaments. Title (CADAMUSTI NAVIGATIO) gilt to a beige morocco label in the upper portion of the second panel. In the second panel, a gilt cipher (L O) in acanthus scrolls to a green morocco label. Marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block stained red. Worming to the lower quarter of the spine, wrapping around to the front board. Some wear to the boards overall. Map with a repaired closed tear and with some small tears at the folds and margins. Internally, as so often, certain quires have tanned, but most are lovely and bright; generally quite good, with occasional foxing. Small round ex-libris label of "a.r.s." on the front paste-down. Violet inkstamps of the Collegio S. Carlo library and of "M.D" on the title-page. Although the map (rightly) has a nearly electromagnetic pull, being the first to indicate Copernicus' model of the revolving world (predating his 1543 De revolutionibus by 11 years), the book in which it was published is monumental in its own right: the first collection of voyages. The work -- indeed, both works contained in the present volume -- emerges from the humanistic forge of the German-speaking Protestant world. Johann Huttich (Huttichius, 1490-1544) was part of the embassy that led Charles V to Madrid to announce his election as Holy Roman Emperor. While there he gained access to the accounts of Spanish and Portuguese (or Iberian-funded) explorers of the Americas (Cadamosto (whence the title-label), Columbus, Niño, Pinzón, Vespucci, Peter Martyr d'Anghiera) in addition to a great many voyages elsewhere (including Marco Polo) in Eurasia. While most of these had been printed elsewhere, their union in a single edited work is the first time we can discern the genre of voyages. Simon Grynaeus (Griner, 1493-1541) was a student of Melanchthon's at Pforzheim, and is perhaps best known for finding and editing the first five books of Livy's history of Rome (1531) that would be published by Erasmus. His role, Harrisse and others argue, was principally as prefator. Sebastian Münster (1488-1552), whose principal job was professor of Hebrew, would nevertheless go on in 1544 to publish the Cosmographia, the first description of the world in German. Shirley attributes the map to him, and indeed his twelve-page description of the map and its use suggests at the very least a deep involvement in its production. The final name attached to the work is that of Hans Holbein (The Younger, 1497-1543), who cut the fanciful border of the map with its cannibals and elephant hunt. In short, the Novus Orbus is the collective effort of some of the great humane minds of the Protestant Reformation. The map is Harrisse A ("we are inclined to consider as the genuine map;" Shirley is agnostic about precedence), distinguished by the large "ASIA". As such it is the first visual representation of the revolutionary model of the world: it revolves around a notional axis, and it is that action that accounts for daily and seasonal change. Münster (or Holbein) depicts this with angels at the North and South Poles powering the revolution via crank. The Collegio S. Carlo (Milan? Modena) library stamp and the mysterious M.D within a beveled rectangle (as well as the "ex libris a.r.s.") do not yield much by way of ownership; they must nevertheless have taken rather good care of it for it to have survived so well to the present.

Woodcut printer's device on title-page and last leaf, large woodcut folding map, two small woodcut text illustrations (pp. 21 and 93), woodcut initials. BINDING/CONDITION: Contemporary pigskin over wooden boards, each cover decorated in blind with panels of floral and saints rol…l tools, the spine in five compartments with four raised bands; remains of two pairs of ties, some soiling, rubbed, a few worm trails on front pastedown and free endpaper. Tiny worm holes in margins of title-page and ?2, some browning on perpendicular centerfolds of map, faint marginal dampstaining in quires I-N, ink redactions affecting title-page and a few words on *1v. (64V1H) FOURTH AND MOST COMPLETE EDITION, AUGMENTED WITH MORE ACCOUNTS OF THE NEW WORLD THAN PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED, WITH DISTINGUISHED PROVENANCE. Additions to the present edition include the second and third Cortez letters, the epistle of the Bishop of Temixtitan in "Huketan," and the summary of Herborn's discourse on the conversion of the Indians. The map is called for in all Basel editions (the Paris edition used a map by Oronce Fine). It is the issue with "Asia" printed at an almost even level with "Mare Caspia," and "Tropicus Capricorni" appears below the tropic line. The redactions, which affect the imprint on the title-page and colophon, as well as the list of contents ("Praefatio Simonis Grynaei ad Collimitium" in line 1 and "per Sebastianum Munsterum" in line 2 of ?1v and "per Sebastianum Munsterum" on Münster's introduction on *1r) make plain a deep-rooted aversion-most likely by the monks of Baumburg Abbey-for the Protestant Reformation. Grynaeus was a theologian of the Reformation; Münster had joined the Franciscans in 1505 but became an apostate in 1529 in order to assume an appointment at the University of Basel, which was dominated by the Reformed Church. Subsequently Basel had become an important center of the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century, with many of its printers, including Hervagius, producing Protestant works. PROVENANCE: Contemporary ownership inscription with Latin motto; later shelf-mark on the front paste-down; Augustinian Canons Regular, Baumburg Abbey, Bavaria ("Monasterij Baumburg" inscribed at head of title-page); American Antiquarian Society (its gift bookplate inscribed with the donor's name, Isaac Davis, on the front pastedown, blind-embossed stamp on title-page, deaccession stamp on bookplate and on lower pastedown) REFERENCES: Adams G-1338, Alden-Landis 555/42; Brown, The World Encompassed 65; Brunet IV:132 (".la plus complète [édition]"); JCB 1:202; Sabin 34104; Shirley 67 (world map).

Avanitidi below. Fourth and most complete edition containing more accounts of the New World than previous editions (first published Basel, 1532). With the celebrated world map "Typus cosmographicus universalis", with an ANGEL AT EACH POLE WITH A CRANK TO TURN THE WORLD ON ITS AXIS which at the time of the first edition was a visual representation of Copernican theory predating by 11 years publication of his "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium". The map is identical to that in the first edition of 1532, except for slight variations in type and text, this the issue with "Tropicus Capricorni" printed above the tropical line. Shirley attributes the cartography of this map to Münster and the border decoration to Holbein, who was working with several Basel publishers at the time. It is of particular interest especially for its "richness of artistic decoration" (Shirley). The work contains accounts of the voyages of Cadamosto, the three voyages of Columbus, Nino, Pinzon, Vespucius, Cabral, and part of the Fourth Decade of Peter Martyr, "also many other pieces which do not relate to America" (Sabin). Beginning with Madrignano's latin version of the "Paesi novamente retrovati", and followed by ten accounts, all of which had been previously published except the second, they include Vespucci's letter to Piero Soderinin Gonfalonier of Florence, recording his four voyages which was first published in 1507 as an appendix to Waldseemuller's "Cosmographiae Introductio"; the first publication of a letter from King Manuel of Portugal to Leo X relating the conquest of Malacca and the relief of Goa by Albuquerque; Madrignano's Latin translation of the "Itinerario" of Ludovico di Varthema, printed Rome 1510; Brocardus's description of the Holy Land; the travels of Marco Polo; the travels of Hayton the Armenian; a description of Russia by Matthias of Miechow first published in Cracow in 1517; another description of Russia by Paolo Giovio, first published in Rome 1525; Peter the Martyr's Fourth Decade, fist published in Basel in 1521; and an account of the antiquities of Prussia by Erasmuns Stella, also Basel 1510 (Modern Language Review, volume II, 1907). Additions to the present edition include the second and third Cortez letters, letters on propagation of the Gospel among Indians, epistle of Bishop of Temixtitan in "Huketan," and the summary of Herborn's discourse on the conversion of the Indians.
