Description
1754 Voyages of Christopher Columbus Atlas MAPS CORTEZ Aztecs Mexico Illustrated The ‘ General History of Voyages’ by abbe Prevost is one of the largest and most impressive collections of stories of expeditions and world exploration printed in Europe during the 18 th -century. It has been highly collectable and desirable since its first printing, not only from the fascinating contents but from the full-page and folding engravings depicting scenes of exploration and unknown peoples. According to Hill, this work is an “important collection, which includes accounts of many early voyages. It includes accounts of all the major early Australian voyages as well as an account of the Dutch discovery of Australia, including Roggeveen's voyage to the Southern Lands, Dutch and French voyages to the East Indies, voyages to China, and voyages of the British East India Company to India and Ceylon.” This volume from the 1754 edition is unquestionably the most famous, popular, and rare volume – the Christopher Columbus and Hernando Cortez volume ! This book covers Columbus’s voyages on the Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria across the Atlantic, discoveries in Haiti, the voyages of Vasco de Balboa, colonization on Saint Thomas Island, Cortez’s arrival on the Yucatan, and the eventual Spanish conquests of Aztecs in Mexico!

Schilb packaged the two-volume Bible carefully in bubble wrap and secured the texts in the shipping container with paper to prevent movement. Thoroughly pleased with the item’s condition and the store’s quick delivery — it arrived only a few days after ordering!

Neben der ausführlichen Artikelbeschreibung mit vielen Bildern (welche dem realen Zustand des Buches entsprachen) verlief die Kommunikation sehr informativ mit kurzen Reaktionszeiten. Der Versand aus den USA nach Deutschland dauerte nur 1 Woche. Das Buch war sehr gut und sicher verpackt. Alles bestens, vielen Dank, jederzeit wieder!

Amazing, quick postage, great value, well packaged. Great condition, as described in listing. Wife who is learning Latin is extremely happy. Never thought we would have something so old, a full hundred years older than my next oldest book. 5 star great seller
