Historical notes:
This map alone of the maps in this manuscript (a summary of a larger work by the author, a prominent sixteenth-century Spanish cartographer) was not copied and expanded by Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas in his Historia general, Madrid, 1601. It is included in Theodor de Bry's America. Part 12. This manuscript postdates a copy in the Biblioteca national in Madrid (which was made after 1570), but predates the publication of Herrera's book.Image title taken from the verso of the map.
