At head of text: Mundus nouus. De natura et moribus et ceteris id generis gentisque in nouo mũdo opera lim [sic] pensis serenissimi portugallie regis superioribus annis inuẽto Albericus Vesputius Laurẽtio petri de medicis Salutem plurimam dicit.

At end: Ex italica in latinam linquam iocundus in-terpres hanc epistolam vertit. vt latini om̃s intelligant [quam] multa miranda in dies reperiãtur, et eorum comprimatur audacia, qui celum et maiestatem scrutari et plus [quam] sapere liceat sapere volunt. quando tanto tempore quo mundus cepit ignota sit vastitas terre. Et que contineantur i eo. Laus deo.

"We are inclined to affix a comparatively late date [1502/8] to this edition of what seems ... the first duplicate of Vespuccius' third voyage. Gilles de Gourmont was a Paris printer ... We can find no dated work of his bearing an earlier imprint than 1507 ... Brunet says that this Vespuccius d̀oit être de l'année 1504 à peu prés.'" -Harrisse, Bibl. amer. vetus., no. 28.
