Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Folio. [3]f including half-title, title & dedication leaf + 10 [numbered vii-xvi] + 877 + [1 blank]p + [1] + 67 leaves with facsimiles of 29 letters + [1]f + 22 numbered plates + [1] plate + [1 + 1 blank + 2]f + 4 maps (3 folding in colour) + [10]p. Contemporary calf, gilt, top edges gilt; worn; preserved in slipcase. First publication of this selection of outstanding historical autograph letters relating to Spanish America held in the Spanish national archives. The contents are transliterated, followed by excellent facsimile reproductions of the originals, many showing the writer s seal. The selection begins with letters by Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, Bartolomé de las Casas (Apostle of the Indies), and Bernal Díaz del Castillo (Cortés chronicler). The remainder are by viceroys, Mexican Indian chiefs, and clerics and lawyers serving in the Americas (one in the Philippines), writing to Spanish royalty or high government officials. 22 numbered plates reproduce autograph signatures and seals in the same context; an unnumbered plate contains an illustration from a manuscript showing a Peruvian town and system of mineshafts for storing Inca treasure. The volume comprises sections with geographical notes (pp669-699), of biographical detail (pp701-871), and a linguistic glossary (pp873-877). The maps at the end represent Australia, the Amazon River and its tributaries, the Antilles and Gulf of Mexico, and the Straits of Magellan. Occasional isolated toning, folds of maps neatly repaired in places without loss, otherwise in good condition. Leclerc 2688; Palau 46394 ( sumptuous publication ; with faulty collation of plates).
