Reading edition
[This Italian version (Venetian dialect) was made by Domingo de Gazlelu, and appeared at Venice; and a fac-simile of the title is given here with showing the arms of the emperor. Rich (no. 11) in 1832 priced it at £1 4s.; Quaritch of late years has held it at £5 and £7; F. S. Ellis (1884) at £12, 12s.; and Leclerc (no. 2,998) at 750 francs. There are copies in the Lenox, Harvard College, and Carter-Brown (Catalogue, vol. i. no. 116) libraries. It was reprinted at Milan the same year in an inferior manner, and a copy of this edition is in the British Museum. Cf. Bibl. Amer. Vet., nos. 200, 201; Bibliotheca Grenvilliana, p. 818; Huth, p. 1628; Court, no. 376. What is said to be a translation of this Italian version into French, L’histoire de la terre neuve du Peru, Paris, 1545, signed I. G. (Jacques Gohory), purports to be an extract from Oviedo’s Historia, Cf. Bibl. Amer. Vet., no. 264; Court Catalogue, no. 175.—Ed.]
