Accompanying Columbus on his second voyage to the New World in 1494 was a young Spanish friar named Ramón Pané. The friar’s assignment was to live among the “Indians” whom Columbus had “discovered” on the island of Hispaniola (today the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic), to learn their language, and to write a record of their lives and beliefs. While the culture of these indigenous people—who came to be known as the Taíno—is now extinct, the written record completed by Pané around 1498 has survived. This volume makes Pané’s landmark Account—the first book written in a European language on American soil—available in an annotated English edition.

First Sentence
"I, Fray Ramon, a humble friar of the Order of Saint Jerome, am writing what I have been able to discover and understand of the beliefs and idolatries of the Indians, and of how they worship their gods, by order of the illustrious Lord Admiral and Viceroy and Governor of the Islands and Mainland of the Indies."
