"In this little Italian book we have the edito 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 origianl letters in 1501, befor Columbus departed upon his fourth voyage. It is slightly less complete therfore, 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.
