General Note:
Thesis on the geography of Baja California, attempting to determine whether it was an island or a peninsula. The author gives a brief résumé of the history of California from itsdiscovery which he states was by Cortés in 1534; he then refers to the Ulloa expedition [1533], Rodríguez Cabrillo, Marcos de Niza, Coronado and Atonda [Isidro de Atondo y Antillón, the Spanish governor of Sinaloa, Mexico]. Many of his facts were derived from the Informe of Picolo. Cf. Wagner.; Francesco Maria Picolo was a Spanish Jesuit. His work "Informe del estado de la nueva christiandad de California, que pidio por auto, la Real Audiencia de Guadalaxara, obedeciendo â la real cedula de N. Rey y Señor D. Phelipe V. Fecha en Madrid, á 17 de julio, de 1701" was printed in Mexico in 1702 and was reprinted and the first appeared in 1705 in vol. 5 of the series "Lettres édifiantes et curieuses écrites des missions étrangères", which were the reports from the Jesuit missions.; Signatures: A-B⁸ (A1 verso blank); Engraved head piece.; An engraved map of the Baja Peninsula is bound to face p.
