"Harrisse (Bibl. amer. vet., no. 110) has called it [the Enchiridion] an extract from the fourth decade ... but Stevens and other authorities define it as a substitute for the lost first letter of Cortes ... and it supplements, rather than overlaps Martyr's other narratives ... this tract was reprinted in the Novus orbis (Basle, 1532) and was  appended to the Antwerp ed. (1536) of Brocard's De scriptio Terrae Sanctae ... it is also in the Novus orbis of Rotterdamn, 1596":  Winsor. Narr. and crit. hist. of America, v. 1, p. xxi.
