notes:
Cf. 29867-1, Antoine DuPinet, sieur de Noroy, Plantz, pourtraitz et descriptions de plusieurs villes, Lyons, 1624. Theodor de Bry and his sons issued a series of books on voyages to America in fifteen parts between 1590 and 1634. In 1631, Gottfried (a printer who had worked on the de Bry volumes) issued this one-volume condensation of all the voyages. He reused many of the plates from the original volumes, but supplemented them with new ones. Theodor de Bry. America. Part 13.
