Note 202 — Chapter VII · Globes of the Second Quarter of the Sixteenth Century
Reading edition
A letter written by Maximilianus Transylvanus to the Cardinal of Salzburg, dated Valladolid, October, 1522, and published in Cologne in January, 1523, under the title ‘De Molucca insulis ...,’ gave the first printed notice of Magellan’s voyage. See Harrisse. B. A. V. Nos. 122, 123, 124. There are numerous editions of Antonio Pigafetta’s account of the Magellan voyage, which account is the principal original source of information concerning that eventful circumnavigation. See J. A. Robertson (Ed.), Pigafetta, Antonio. Magellan’s Voyage around the World.
