Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Letter of Colombus on the Discovery of America: A Facsimile Reprint of the Pictorial Edition of 1493, With a Literal Translation, and an Introduction The letter of Columbus giving the earliest information of his great discovery was first printed in Spanish at Barcelona in April, 1493. It was immediately translated into Latin and sent to Rome for publication, where it appeared in at least three editions, and was reprinted at Basle, Paris, and Antwerp. One of the rarest and most interesting of these is the pictorial edition, complete in ten leaves, which is reproduced here in exact facsimile, accompanied by a literal translation. The curious woodcuts with which it is illustrated are supposed by some to have been copied from drawings made originally by Columbus himself. They give remarkable representations of the admiral´s own caravel, of his first landing on Hayti and meeting with the natives, and of the different islands which he visited.
