Note 3 — EARLIEST HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS OF TURQUOIS MOSAIC IN MEXICO

Reading edition

The Itinerary of Grijalva, written by chaplain Juan Díaz, was undoubtedly recorded in Spanish, but we know it only from the Italian translation of 1520. It was translated into Spanish by Joaquin Garcia Icazbalceta and published by him in his Documentos para la Historia de México, tomo I, Mexico, 1858. A translation into English, with translations of other accounts, relating to this voyage, will appear in the Publications of the Cortes Society under the title, The Voyage of Juan de Grijalva to Yucatan and the Mexican Coast in 1518.
