Fernández de Oviedo's Chronicle of America : A New History for a New World

LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS

LIST OF ILLUSTR ATIONS Note: In an attempt to publish as complete a record as possible of Oviedo’s illustrations in the History, I have drawn on a variety of sources. When possible, I first provide a photograph of images in the extant autograph manuscript (at the RAH and HEH). If the autograph image has been lost, I first use the contemporary Trujillos’ copy (at the BC and PR), which is very true to the original except that the illustrations are in color. When that is unavailable, I include the woodcut from one of the early editions, which closely follow Oviedo’s drawings (1535, 1547, 1557). When none of the above were available, I reproduce the eighteenth-century copy, made by Juan Bautista Muñoz, who appears to have copied the images fairly faithfully (at the RAH). The numbers in parentheses refer to the nineteenth-century edition by José Amador de los Ríos. figure 1. Title page, Historia general y natural de las Indias, 1535 edition 189 figure 2.
