Want of room does not permit us to dwell any longer on the present relation,
the quite singular value of it for the history of the early discovery and
navigation of the Amazonas will not be questioned As it is well known Acunas
work is of the extremest rarity owing to its rigid suppression by the Spanish government
in order not to permit the Portuguese, who had just become an independent nation
(1640), to take any advantage of the material embodied. The same reason may have
prevented the publication of the present “Relacibn”.
As already noted our copy, showing four insignificant stitching holes in the inner
margin, was no doubt attached to a bundle of other official documents, a circumstance
which may account for its exceedingly good preservation. The contemporary paper
cover bears on the first page the abridged title in manuscript, on the last page there
are some reckoning notes, both hands evidently dating from the seventeenth century.

Tavera 125. Not in Sabin, Retana and Griffin. In speaking of the Molucca Islands
