Description

Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Though this work is often called the Drake manuscript, it bears on its title page (inserted when it was bound) the name Histoire naturelle des Indes -- The natural history of the Indies. That is an accurate account of its contents, for the volume contains 199 separate images of West Indian plants, animals and Indian life with accompanying captions written in late sixteenth-century French.
