A copy was purchased by Jefferson from
Froullé in Paris on April 17, 1789, price

Diego Fernández, Spanish historian and adventurer of the 16th century, was born in Spain but embarked for Peru about 1545. This narrative
was written in his capacity of chronicler of Peru, an office bestowed upon him by Andres Hurtado de Mendoza, the viceroy of
Peru. The work was dedicated to the King, Philip II, and was published in Spain, but was ordered by the Royal Council of the
Indies to be destroyed immediately after publication. The order was revoked in 1729, but reissued in 1731. For an account
of the author, see Prescott’s
History of the Conquest of Peru.

Augustin de Zárate, c. 1492-c. 1560, Spanish historian, held for fifteen years the office of Comptroller of Accounts for Castile. He was then
sent to Peru as treasurer-general, with Blasco Nuñez de Vela, the first viceroy. While residing in Lima, Zarate collected
notes and materials for his history, which he wrote on his return to Spain after the fall of Pizarro, and which covers the
period from the discovery of Pizarro to the departure of Gasca. The first edition was published in Antwerp in 1555, after
which many other editions appeared, and the work was translated into French, English, German, Portuguese and Italian.
The entries for this book and the work of Fernandez were bracketed together by Jefferson in both his dated and undated manuscript catalogue and in the Library of Congress catalogue of 1815, and it is possible that Jefferson’s copies were bound
together.
