Note 174 — Part II. THE EARLY DESCRIPTIONS OF AMERICA AND COLLECTIVE ACCOUNTS OF THE EARLY VOYAGES THERETO.
Reading edition
H. H. Bancroft, Mexico, i. 258. Harrisse (Bibl. Amer. Vet., no. 237) gives the date 1541 as apparently the first edition. His authority is the Labanoff Catalogue; but the date therein is probably an error (Sabin, vol. xii. no. 51,384). The Athenæ Rauricæ cites a Latin edition of 1543,—it is supposed without warrant, though it is also mentioned in Poggendorff’s Biog.-liter. Handwörterbuch, ii. 234.
