[With:] De Rebus, et Insulis Noviter Repertis. First Latin edition. Full-page armorial to verso of title, the folding plan of Mexico City (supplied in facsimile) with 4 initial letters & one tailpiece. Contemporary blind stamped calf over oak boards, with the remains of clasps, lower board very slightly defective at corner, but a lovely copy overall in its first binding, with some unobtrusive light worming. [4], 49, [1], 12 ll. [Nuremberg, Fridericus Peypus, One of the most important early descriptions of Mexico, and a key factor in maintaining Spain's interest in the New World.   The first Latin edition of Cortés' second letter, after its original publication in Seville in 1522. The work was translated by Petrus Savorgnanus. This copy does not bear the portrait of Pope Clement VII on the verso of the fourth preliminary leaf which is not found with all copies.Cortés' second letter, dated Oct. 30, 1520, provides a vivid account of the people he encountered and fought en route to Tenochtitlan, painting a picture of an impressive empire centred around a great city. He relates his scrape with rival Velazquez and gives a wonderful description of the buildings, institutions, and court at Tenochtitlan. It is here that Cortés provides a definitive name for the country, calling it "New Spain of the Ocean Sea". This letter is also important for making reference to Cortés' "lost" first letter, supposedly composed at Vera Cruz on July 10, 1521. Whether that letter was actually lost or suppressed by the Council of the Indies is unknown, but there is little doubt it once existed.As usual, the second letter is here bound with Peter Martyr's De Rebus, et Insulis Noviter Repertis, which provides an account of the recently discovered West Indies and their inhabitants. It is often considered a substitute for the lost first Cortés letter.Provenance: Johann Albrecht Von und Zu Haimhausen c 1660, engraved armorial bookplate; Carl Friedrich Philipp Von Martius, signature, John Murray 1833 pencil note declares " Letters of Cortez given me by Dr Martius May 1833", pictorial bookplate, partly printed in gold.European Americana, 524/5; Sabin, 16947; Harisse, 125.

4to (165 x 215 mm). 3 parts in one volume. 79, (1 blank) ff. Double-sheet map ("Isola Spagnuola"), 64, (2) ff.; (15), (1 blank) ff. With 4 (3 full-page) woodcuts in the text. Contemporary full vellum with manuscript title to spine. Stored in modern custom-made half calf and cloth slipcase by Jacques P. Desmonts of J. Macdonald Co, Norwalk, CT. One of the earliest published attempts to assemble a group of travel and exploration accounts. This important collection of voyages and narratives is the work of several authors, although most bibliographers attribute it to Peter Martyr, a translation of whose work makes up the first section. The book was probably compiled for publication by Giovanni Ramusio of Venice (later famous for his much larger collection, "Delle navigationi et viaggi", which began publication in 1554). While only the Montalboddo collection precedes it as a group of voyage narratives outside Europe, this is the first collection to focus entirely on the New World. - The "Historia" is divided into three books: the first is made up of material from the "Decades" of Peter Martyr, drawn from the edition of 1530, the first complete edition to present all eight Decades. The second and most important part is drawn from the first published work of the great historian and chronicler of the early West Indies, Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo's "De la Natural Hystoria de las Indias" (Toledo, 1526). Since that pioneering work of American natural history (a completely different book from Oviedo's later "Historia general") is virtually unobtainable today, the present 1534 publication is the only form in which the first work of Oviedo can be had. His observations are the first accurate reports of New World plants and animals, and he also provides one of the first accounts of Bermuda, where he tried to land while en route to Spain in 1515, only to be driven off by adverse winds. The distinction of being the first obtainable edition is also true of the third part, a translation of an anonymously written tract entitled La Conquista de Peru, first published in Seville, also in 1534, of which only three copies survive. It gives the text of the tract in full. Both are among the first published accounts of the conquest of Peru. - The woodcuts in the text, drawn from the work of Oviedo and made up by the Venetian printers, are some of the earliest published images of the New World based on actual experience, as opposed to the fantasies of European woodcut artists. There is also a handsome double-page woodcut map of Hispaniola, an extremely early piece of detailed New World cartography. - Title-page and first leaf of text masterfully remargined, not affecting text. Slight dampstaining in upper corner of first 30-odd leaves, a closed tear to leaf 56. Two small burn holes in map, not affecting any printed area; occasional contemporary ink notations in margins. - Contemporary ownership "Di Francesco Antonio Papera" on front free endpaper; 18th century handwritten start of an index on rear flyleaf. Pretty etched bookplate of the American architect Lionel H. Pries (1897-1968) to front pastedown; old bookseller's label on rear pastedown. Latterly owned by the San Francisco collector Bruce McKinney; the lower pastedown bears the signed bookplate of his 2009 sale. - Edit 16, CNCE 1885. Sabin 1565. Palau 12.601.

First edition. First edition. Elaborate woodcut title compartment designed by Hans Franck, two woodcut initials. A-D4, E6; 43,[1, bl.]pp. Pages 20-21 misnumbered 24-25, as issued. 1 vols. 8vo. Peter Martyr's De nuper repertis insulis (On the islands recently discovered) is the first substantial printed account of the first three expeditions to Mexico and the discovery of the Mayan and Aztec civilizations. Including information from the lost first Cortés letter, it is a key work for the history of the New World from 1516 to 1520, including the conquest of Mexico and a description of Cuba. Indeed, with the loss of the first Cortés' letter, this is the first authoritative account of that expedition as well as the preliminary explorations by Cordova and Grijalva which preceded it. In the bibliographical sequence of works related to the discovery of Mexico and conquest, Martyr's De nuper repertis insulis is preceded only by the brief account in German printed in Nuremberg in 1520 and the account of Fr. Juan Diaz printed in Italian and Latin in 1520. Cortés' first letter remains unlocated, and is believed by some to have been suppressed by the Council for the Indies. Written in July of 1519, it would be the earliest account of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, including the founding of Vera Cruz; a letter written by the magistrates of that new settlement at the same time confirms what the contents would have been, and therefore the appropriateness of Martyr's 1521 letter as a substitute. Historian and bibliographer Henry R. Wagner was long convinced that Lopez de Gomara was in possession of the letter, or at least a copy, when writing his seminal Historia, but that account of these events would not appear for another thirty-two years. Martyr covers events from the discovery of the Yucatan to the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan, providing details of the earlier expedition of Grijalva, recounting the first and second embassies to Montezuma, and the founding of Vera Cruz, in addition to descriptions of the landscape, cities, and indigenous cultures, including news of Mayan hieroglyphics. Much attention is paid to Aztec culture, including descriptions of the Aztec calendar, their use of writing and a thorough description of the physical construction of their books. Perhaps moved by news of their artistic and linguistic productions, Martyr also presages Las Casas in his concern for the native people, remarking with sadness on their reduction at the hands of the conquistadors through disease, famine, and mistreatment. "This is Martyr's first narrative of the discovery made by Grijalva and the expedition of Cortés to Mexico, added to a fuller account of Cuba than was contained in his three decades already printed. Harrisse called this work an extract from the Fourth Decade, but it is evidently a much more important work, [with] Stevens and other authorities defining it as a substitute for the lost first Cortés letter. This work supplements, rather than overlaps other narratives by the author" (Streeter). Not in Church. A remarkably important piece of Americana, the first authoritative account of Cortés' expedition to Mexico, recounting to Europe his exploits at the beginning of the Spanish conquest of the New World, as well as details of the Aztec Empire and its people.
