Provenance: CVAQ (monogram in ink on front free endpaper); P. de Corcucra (early inscription); some writing in a contemporary hand on binding.
FIRST EDITION. Martinez de la Puente relates the history of the Portuguese empire in the East to the year 1600, compiling his work from various Portuguese authors, notably João de Barros.

Chapter VI, pp.40-50, contains an account of the discovery of the Moluccas, as well descriptions of the Philippines and New Guinea. About the latter, called "tierra del Papuè," the author acknowledges that it is not known whether it is an island or part of a Southern Continent: "si bien todavia no se sabe si es Isla, tierra continente (esto es, si està con la tierra Antarctica)." Alden & Landis 681/82; Borba de Moraes II:524; Palau 155609; Sabin 44953.
