INDEX 445 INTRODUCTION. _By the Editor._ PART I. AMERICANA IN LIBRARIES AND BIBLIOGRAPHIES. HARRISSE, in the Introduction of his _Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima_, enumerates and characterizes many of the bibliographies of Americana, beginning with the chapter, “De Scriptoribus rerum Americanarum,” in the _Bibliotheca Classica_ of Draudius, in 1622.[1] De Laet, in his _Nieuwe Wereldt_ (1625), gives a list of about thirty-seven authorities, which he increased somewhat in later editions.[2] The earliest American catalogue of any moment, however, came from a native Peruvian, Léon y Pinelo, who is usually cited by the latter name only. He had prepared an extensive list; but he published at Madrid, in 1629, a selection of titles only, under the designation of _Epitome de la biblioteca oriental i occidental_,[3] which included manuscripts as well as books. He had exceptional advantages as chronicler of the Indies. In 1671, in Montanus’s _Nieuwe weereld_, and in Ogilby’s _America_, about 167 authorities are enumerated.
