NOTES

ON THE

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF YUCATAN AND CENTRAL AMERICA.[1]

BY AD. F. BANDELIER.




YUCATAN.

_Writers of the Sixteenth Century._


JUAN DIAZ, chaplain to Juan de Grijalva. "Itinerario de l' Armata del
Re Catholico in India verso la Isola de Iuchathan del anno M. D.
XVIII."--Printed first (in the Italian language) as an appendix to the
"Itinerario de Ludovico Varthema," in the edition of 1520, and
subsequently in the editions of 1522, 1526 and 1535 of the latter
book. It was also translated into the English language by Richard
Eden, in the "Historie of Travayles," London, 1577, but I am not sure
whether the report of Diaz is contained in it. The most popular
translation is that by H. Ternaux-Compans, in his first "Recueil de
pièces relatives à la conquéte du Méxique," (Vol. X. of his "Voyages,
Relations et Mémoires originaux pour servir á l' histoire de la
découverte de l' Amérique,") and the latest and best reprint, together
with a splendid Spanish translation, is contained in Vol. I. of
"Coleccion de Documentos para la Historia de México," 1858, by S^r J.
G. Icazbalceta, of México.

       *       *       *       *       *

PETRUS MARTYR AB ANGLERIA. "Enchiridion de insulis nuper repertis
simulatque incolarum moribus," Basel, 1521. (Separate print of the 4th
Decade, which contains the first items about Yucatan ever published in
Europe after Diaz's report).

"De orbe novo decades Petri Martyris ab Angleria, Mediolaneusis,
protonotarii, Cesarei senatoris.--Compluti apud Michaelem de Eguia,"
in December, 1530. Alcalá.

"Opus Epistolarum Petri Martyris Anglerii, Mediolanensis, &c., &c."
Also printed by Miguel de Eguia. Alcalá.

Of further reprints, and of translations of Peter Martyr's works (the
reports on Yucatan are contained in the 4th and 5th Decades), I merely
quote: "Novus orbis regionum ac insularum veteribus incognitarum, &c."
by Simon Grynæus, Basel, 1532, embodying Dec's 1, 2, 3, _and_ 4.

[Footnote 1: The absence of Mr. Bandelier in Mexico, precludes a
submission of the proof to his revision, and will account for any
errors that may be discovered in the text.
