notes:
|
The island here identified as Itius is probably either Guadaloupe or Dominica. When Vespucci and his Spanish companions tried to land, they were fiercely attacked by native American men and women who fought them at the water's edge. This work was published by Johann Theodor de Bry and contains three parts. The first part includes two letters of Amerigo Vespucci describing his voyages to America in 1497 and 1499. The second is derived from Ralph Hamor, A true discours of the present state of Virginia, London, 1615. The third part is derived from Captain John Smith, A description of New England, London, 1616. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 10. Latin. Imprint information from colophon.
