Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fifth Letter of Hernan Cortes: To the Emperor Charles V Containing an Account of His Expedition to Honduras The fifth letter of Hernando Cortes to the Emperor Charles V, describing his expedition to the bay of Honduras, has never, to our knowledge, been turned into English. In 1843, a citizen of the United States translated the second, third, and fourth - the only ones published during the conqueror´s lifetime, and often reprinted since; but of the first and last in order no satisfactory account could then be given, as they had long been missing, and had not yet appeared in the original Spanish. Robertson was the first to suspect that they might possibly be -discovered in some of the archives at Vienna, the Emperor Charles being in Germany when one of them reached Europe. And so it turned out to be, for in a manuscript volume of the Imperial Library, marked CXX, an attested copy of the former was found, of which that diligent historian soon published an abstract.
