Bookplate of John R. Ribeira inside the front cover. William B. Greenlee (1872-1953) was a Newberry Library Trustee whose generosity greatly enhanced the library's collections. Greenlee studied Portuguese and Brazilian history in the Ayer Collection while collecting books on his own. In 1937 he transferred his Portuguese library to the Newberry, where he worked among his books, selecting new titles and editing a volume of voyages to Brazil for the Hakluyt Society. The collection, numbering over 10,000 volumes, is strong in the following areas: Periodicals, gazetteers, bibliographies, and collections of documents; Travel literature and special subjects relating to social life and customs; Biography; General Portuguese history and literature, especially colonial expansion; Local history and description; While purposely not focusing on first editions of old and rare books, the Greenlee Collection has been built into one of the world's finest working libraries of Luso-Brazilian research materials. In addition to print material, the Greenlee collection contains 226 Portuguese manuscripts, dating from 1660 to 1815. The acquisition of over 15,000 sixteenth- through nineteenth-century Portuguese leaflets, pamphlets, and booklets in recent years has added further research depth to this great collection. Amerigo Vespucci (9 March 1451 - 22 February 1512) was an Italian-born merchant, explorer, and navigator from the Republic of Florence, from whose name the term "America" is derived. He became a Castillian citizen in 1505. Between 1497 and 1504, Vespucci participated in at least two voyages of the Age of Discovery, first on behalf of Spain (1499-1500) and then for Portugal (1501-1502). In 1503 and 1505, two booklets were published under his name, containing colorful descriptions of these explorations and other alleged voyages. Both publications were extremely popular and widely read across much of Europe. Although historians still dispute the authorship and veracity of these accounts, at the time they were instrumental in raising awareness of the new discoveries and enhancing the reputation of Vespucci as an explorer and navigator. Vespucci claimed to have understood, back in 1501 during his Portuguese expedition, that Brazil was part of a continent new to Europeans, which he called the New World. The claim inspired cartographer Martin Waldseemüller to recognize Vespucci's accomplishments in 1507 by applying the Latinized form "America" for the first time to a map showing the New World. Other cartographers followed suit, and by 1532 the name America was permanently affixed to the newly discovered continents. It is unknown whether Vespucci was ever aware of these honors. In 1505, he was made a citizen of Castile by royal decree and in 1508, he was appointed to the newly created position of chief navigator for Spain's Casa de Contratación (House of Trade) in Seville, a post he held until his death in 1512.
