"THE LIFE AND VOYAGES OF AMERICUS VESPUCIUS with Illustrations Concerning 
the Navigator, and the Discovery of the New World."  By C. Edwards Lester & 
Andrew Foster. Published by Baker & Scribner: 1846.  Yes, we're talking 
about that Amerigo Vespucci, the man for whom the Americas are named. "The 
Life and Voyages of Americus Vespucius" is a scholarly attempt to examine 
the Vespucci controversy -did he or didn't he discover the American 
mainland 6 days before John Cabot?  Did he even make a voyage to America at 
all?


Ending in a few days on Ebay-

"THE FIRST FOUR VOYAGES OF AMERIGO VESPUCCI. Translated from the rare 
original edition (Florence, 1505-06); with some Preliminary Notices"  By 
M.K. Published in London by Bernard Quaritch in 1885.  A translation of the 
Florence, 1505 letter by Vespucci describing his four voyages to the 
Americas, republished by the renowned London rare bookselling firm. The 
text is augmented with essays on Vespucci's life and on the letters and his 
voyages. The text is decorated with decorative woodcut headpieces of the 
period, although the illustrations which appeared in the printed letters 
are simply described.

No reserves.
