notes:
The text describes a tree in Mexico, perhaps the copaiba, Copaifera officinalis, or Balsam of Peru, Myroxylon Peruiferum, which produces an oil smelling of pine which is used for wounds and removing pain, principally from gout. The manuscript, attributed to Champlain, describes his voyage sailing with a Spanish fleet to the Caribbean in 1599 to 1600.
