“This Part contains the beginning of
Girolamo Benzoni’s
Historia del Mondo
Nuouo
. The remainder was published in the Parts V. and VI. Benzoni’s
work was first published in
Italian at Venice in 1565. It was translated into
Latin by Urbain Chauveton, who also gave an account of the French expedition to
Florida. He also translated the work into
French. De Bry has followed
Chauveton’s translation which was published at Geneva in 1578, and has added to
it Latin translations of some of the notes which appeared in the French
edition.”--Church Catalogue.
