Decada primera [-octaua] Source place Mad: [i.e. Madrid] : En la Emplenta Real, Geographic Area South America Historical notes During a battle between natives led by Guarionex, a Taino cacique, and the Spanish, the natives attempted to burn the first cross that Columbus erected on Hispaniola. It failed to catch fire and the Spanish hailed this as a miracle of the Virgin of Mercy. Guacanagari, one of the five caciques of Hispaniola, received Columbus after the Santa Maria was wrecked on the island. The Spanish who remained at La Navidad after Columbus left for Spain were massacred by rival tribes a few months later. Normalized date 1601 LC bibliographic number b

XCVIII Cartobibliographic notes Ortelius was the creator of the first true atlas (defined as a collection of uniform map sheets and sustaining text bound to form a book for which copper printing plates were specifically engraved). Frequently revised, this atlas was the last one to be printed during Ortelius's lifetime.Ortelius' map of Florida is considered to be the first printed map of Florida and was based on original closely-guarded Spanish sources, information gathered by the de Soto expedition and drawn by Geronimo de Chaves. The cartographer of the Peru map is unknown, possibly Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, a philologist. References Broecke, M.P.R. van den Ortelius Atlas Maps, No. 15; Cline, H.H.

Map size width 55 cm. Item description Engraved map Geographical description Map of Peru. Inset at lower right, in strapwork frame: [South America from the Strait of Magellan to the Equator]. "Joannes à Doetechum fecit." at bottom of scale cartouche (lower right). Boldest lettering is "PERUVIANAE PARS," across S. America on map; above title from letterpress paste-on (16 lines in all) in lower right corner on a blank cartouche within the area of the inset. In a blank cartouche to upper left is a similar typographic paste-on, referring to Thomas Cavendish's passage of the Strait of Magellan, reached by him "Anno 1585, [recte, 1587] 6. Ianuarij die" and his finding of islands discovered by Francis Drake and of the famine-stricken remnants of colonies founded by Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa in the Strait. It is noted, of Cavenish, that "fretum hoc Magellanicum attigit et in praesentem formam delineavit." The basic cartography resembles that in the map of Sancho Gutiérrez (1551) and of Bartholomeu Lasso (ca. 1590), but reveals later influences especially of Cavendish's voyage. At least 4 names in English appear in southern Patagonia; these are common to what is probably Cavendish's manuscript chart of 1588, now in the Algemeene Rijksarchief, The Hague (see Wieder, Monumenta I, no. 5) and to the terrestrial globe of Emery Molyneaux (1592/1603), preserved in the Middle Temple, London. Decorative details include a figure, apparently of a giant sloth, and representations of Patagonian giants. Contains three scales: Spanish leagues, and Italian and German miles. References F.C.
