notes:
|
Text describes the discovery of present-day Ilha de Santa Catarina, Brazil, which was marked by earlier explorers with a wooden crucifix. The plaque on the cross instructed the finder to fire a shot. When Staden and his colleagues did so, a Portuguese man arrived in canoes with native Americans. Image title taken from chapter heading on previous page. This volume contains accounts of Staden's two voyages made to Brazil, 1546 to 1548 and 1549 to 1555, and Jean de Léry's voyage to Brazil made from 1555 to 1558. De Bry included in this volume the account of Hans Staden, Wahrhaftige Historia ... in der Newenwelt America gelegen, Marburg, 1557, and Jean de Léry, Histoire d'un voyage fait en la terre du Brésil, La Rochelle, 1578, as well as two letters by Nicolas Barré dated 1552. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 3. German.
