notes:
Text describes discovery by Christopher Columbus on his third trip to the Americas of a native American tribe near the Gulf of Paria and the island of Cubagua (between present-day Trinidad and 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.
