notes:
Text describes the jaguar as a predacious animal like a tiger. The ant-eater is described as a kind of bear with no tail. The armadillo is described being like a horse with a pack-saddle. Ninety percent of the information in this book is from López de Gómara's Historia de las Indias and was probably translated and adapted by Emir Mehmet ibn Emir Hasan el-Suudi [?] in 1580. This is the first illustrated book ever to be produced on an Ottoman printing press.
