Sabin 98760; Wing G216 - Important history of Incan Peru and its conquest by the Spaniards under Francisco Pizarro. Sometimes listed under Garcilaso or Garcilasso, sometimes under Lasso, and sometimes under Vega. Garcilaso de la Vega, c.1540-c.1616, called El Inca, was the son of one of the Spanish conquistadors by an Inca princess. At age twenty he went to Spain, never to return to his native land. In addition to his great Comentarios, first published in two volumes, 1609 and 1616, of which the present volume is a translation, he also wrote an account of the conquest of Florida by Hernando de Soto. There were several different issues, or editions, of this translation, all published in 1688 with the same collation but with varying imprints. Sabin lists the present issue first, and Wing lists it third. Some copies of the various issues had rubricated title-pages, as does this one, some had titles wholly printed in black, and some had both. Some marginal darkening & occasional light foxing, some minor soiling incl. to title, else in very good or better condition.

Shirley 13 - "Among about 150 manuscripts recorded by Destombes dating from 1200 to 1500 AD nearly 100 contain a simple map illustrating Macrobius ideas..." (Shirley p. 12). The present example resembles the later block which would accompany Cicero editions with its two large land masses separated by ocean & "frigida Europa" being on top & "Teperata Antipodum" on bottom. Also "meditarraneu mare" is named along with "mare rubru," the Red Sea. Variantly, the watery mass surrounding the circular globe is much larger than usual, elaborately executed here. Another rubricated leaf is tipped in with the above. Though the leaf containing the map is soiled to the text, the map itself is quite fine.
