Title and body of the book in italic type; dedications and index in roman.

L. 1-131 contain an abridgment of Decades 1-3, dedicated by the anonymous translator to Charles, duc d'Angouléme, third son of François I. Then follows, L. 132, a new dedication of the "Trois narrations" to Marguerite, daughter of François I, in which the translator says that the first of these three "narrations" is translated from Peter Martyr's Latin account of Cuba, dedicated to Pope Leo X, later printed at Basle [i.e. from Decade 4, which had appeared under title "De nvper svb D. Carolo repertis insulis, simulateq[ue] incolarum moribus ..." Basileae, 1521] and that the other two narrations are from the Latin of Pierre Sauorgnan [i.e. the Latin version by Petrus Savorgnanus of the Spanish narrations of Hernando Cortes] For the text of both Decade 4 and the narrations of Cortes, the translator, however, apparently made use of the 1st edition, of Savorgnanus' Latin version of Cortes' second and third narration, 1524, containing also Decade 4, presumably intended as a substitute for the lost first narration of Cortes: Tertia Ferdina[n]di Cortesil Sac. Caesar, et Cath. Maiesta, in nova maris oceani hyspania generalis

Decade 4, as well as Savorgnanus' Latin vesion of the 2nd and 3rd narrations of Cortes are also included in "De insvlis nvper inventis Ferdinandi Cortesii ad Carolum V. Rom. Imperatorem Narrationes, cum alio quodam Petri Martyris ad Clementem VII. Pontificem Maximum consimillis argumenti libello ... "Coloniae [Sept. 1532] but the French translation antedates this by eight months.
