A picture of this book is available upon request by email. Cox ii, 289. Based on the original manuscript and first published here, the author describes his 'adventures in Spain, Italy, Sicily, Germany, Flanders, the Balearic Isles and Peru and is one of the very few works in which the feuds of the Pizarros and Amagro are described by an eye witness. . . it had escaped the notice of Prescott and others who have written on Peru' [from the introduction which provides a good historical perspective]. This is from the Hakluyt Society first series, scarce in any condition.
