500 $aFacsimile of the Latin version supposed to have been printed at Basel in 1493 by Bergmann de Olphe. The Albany imprint did not appear on the facsimile as originally issued, but was added to the copies of a "remainder" purchased by Joseph McDonough. The facsimile differs in several particulars from the coy of the original in the Lenox library, New York, making it probable that it was printed from the imperfect copy in the Library of the British museum. The English translation is that of Samuel Kettell, taken from his "Personal narrative of the first voyage of Columbus", Boston, 1827, p. 240-252.
