First edition thus, and among the early English-language compilations of the most important New World narratives. Eden first published his translations - drawn chiefly from Peter Martyr and Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo - in 1555. The present volume is not a second edition of that work but an entirely new one, edited by Richard Willes. Although it begins with material from those two great Spanish chroniclers, it incorporates substantial additions absent from the 1555 edition and omits material then judged obsolete (see Church for a full list of additions and deletions). Willes's principal editorial interest lay in the East, and the book has been described by E. G. R. Taylor as "the first comprehensive account of Asia to be published in England". The additions include an account of Frobisher's search for a north-east passage, the best 16th-century English report on China, and the first account of Japan in English. The volume also contains the first English edition of Ludovico di Varthema's celebrated travels in Arabia, Persia, India, and possibly the Spice Islands (1502-07). An Italian who learned Arabic, professed Islam, and travelled to Mecca, Varthema was among the first Europeans to report extensively on the East. Together, these additions amount to roughly a third of the text. Willes further includes one of the earliest English accounts of Magellan's circumnavigation - a translation of Maximilian Transylvanus's narrative based on interviews with surviving crew members (ff. 430-447) - one of the earliest printed descriptions of high-latitude sailing in the Southern Hemisphere.
