Vicente Yañez Pinzon made a second voyage with Juan Diaz de Solis, in which he explored the gulf of Honduras, from the Guanaja Islands, the western limit of Columbus' voyage, to the islands of Caria on the coast of Yucatan, in search of the passage which was still believed to exist between the main continent of Asia and the land known as the Pearl Coast, Santa Cruz, or, in the Latin translations of Vespucci, as the _Mundus Novus_, or New World. Brief mention of this voyage may be found in _Viages Menores_, in _Navarrete_, tom. iii. p. 46, repeated in _Irving's Columbus_, vol. iii. p. 52; and _Humboldt_, _Exam. Crit._, tom. iv. p. 228. See also _Reise des Diaz de Solis und Yanez Pinzon_, in _Sammlung aller Reisebeschreibungen_, tom. xiii. p. 157. Tristan da Cunha in a voyage to India, sailing from Lisbon March 6, 1506, round Cape St Augustine, heard of—_eut connaissance de_—a Rio São Sebastião in the province of Pernambuco, and discovered the island since called by his name, in 37° 5' south latitude, on his passage to the Cape of Good Hope. Galvano does not mention that Cunha reached America. * * * * * On the 20th of May, 1506, at Valladolid, died the great admiral of the Western Ocean, Christopher Columbus; whose story, notwithstanding his innumerable historians, is nowhere more fully comprehended than in the simple lines which may be seen to-day upon his tomb: "Por Castilla y por Leon Nuevo Mundo halló Colon." _Maffei_ of _Volterra_, _Commentariorum urbanorum_, Rome, 1506, a kind of geographical encyclopædia, contains a section on the _loca nuper reperta_. Five editions are mentioned as having been issued in the years 1510, 1511, and 1530, all but one at Paris. M. Varnhagen claims that the original mixed Italian text of Vespucci's first voyage was printed in Florence in 1505 or 1506, and that several copies have been preserved. This is the text used by him in his defense of Vespucci. See _Premier Voy._, Vienna, 1869, and _Vespucci, son caractère_, etc., Lima, 1865, in which the letter is reproduced. I find no mention by any other author of such an edition.
