"In this little Italian book we have the editio princeps of the First decade of Peter Martyr, which in its original Latin form did not appear in print until 1511 ... The Libretto ... was translated from Peter Martyr's original letters in 1501, before Columbus departed upon his fourth voyage. It is slightly less complete therefore, than the First decade ... published in 1511."--Introd., p. [3]

Translated into the Venetian dialect by Angelo Trevisan, with a few words by the translator at the beginning describing the personal appearance of Columbus; "nothing of the sort is found in the First decade."  cf. Introd., p. 5.

The first complete ed. of the Decades was published in 1530 under title: De orbe nouo decades octo.
