A copy is similarly entered by Jefferson on his undated manuscript catalogue.
“This edition contains an abstract of the
Conquista de Mexico
of López de Gómara, beginning with chapter 15. Chapter 101, the last of this extract, contains a résumé of the character
of Cortés taken from the original Spanish edition, without abridgment, except that the last sentence is omitted. This translation
differs from that of Breton in 1588. The first part is very complete, being without abridgment; in fact, some phrases of explanation
are added. It is the same as that published in the original Sonnius edition of 1568.”--Wagner.
Martin Fumée, Sieur de Genillé, French author. In the first edition of the translation into French, printed in Paris in 1568, and in all the subsequent
editions until this one of 1584, the name of the translator reads correctly “M. Fumée Sieur de Marly de Chastel,” who was
the nephew of the Sieur Genillé. The edition of 1587 follows that of 1584.
The date 1565 in the entry in the Library of Congress catalogue of 1815 refers to the “Historia dell’ India of the preceding
collection” in Jefferson’s manuscript, see no 4114.
