notes:
Text discusses nuts like almonds which are found specifically around Bogotá to Tunia, in present-day Colombia. Image illustrates the nut which is as large as a sheep's kidney and its kernel. Perhaps de Laet is describing the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) which is found in Colombia where they are called "almendras."Laet was a director and historian of the Dutch West India Company (VOC).
