notes:
Text discusses a sea monster [walrus or sea elephant] found near Spirito Santo in Brazil. See Pero de Magalhães Gandova, Historia da prouincia sa[n]cta Cruz, Lisbon, 1576, and the description of Baltasar Ferreira who killed a marine monster off the coast of São Vicente (present-day Santos in the state of São Paulo) in 1564. Petrucci was a disciple of Athanasius Kircher, and his work is an eclectic assembly of various marvels of culture and nature.
