| General note | "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. |
