notes:
Text describes discovery by Christopher Columbus on his third trip to the Americas of a native American tribe on the Isla de Margarita (present-day Venezuela) who collected pearl oysters. Pearls were one of the items that Columbus was specifically asked to find. The work was supposedly written by a native Peruvian from Cuzco.
