Purchased from Karl W. Hiersemann, February 1927. On f. 83, otherwise blank, contemporary pen trials including the names "Gonzalo de Faloxa[?]" and "Antonio"; other pen trials on f. 164v. On ff. 1 and 168v, ownership note and rubric (in the Spanish sense) of Don Vicente Antonio de Rendon C° Burgos; the added mention of Burgos to the text on f. 4 is probably attributable to this owner. Also on f. 1, a monogram of superimposed letters "A.R.O.T.E. (or L.)" and a note "Año de 76 [?]." Belonged to the Spanish writer, philologist and politician, Diego Clemencín, whose shelf mark on a slip of paper is pasted to the first flyleaf over an inked out inscription. On the front pastedown, a modern armorial bookplate, imitative of a late medieval woodcut, with the initials "A.G." and the motto "Que Quede Vida En La Muerte Velar Se Deve En La Vida De Tal Suerte."

    Derrotero General del Mar del Sur: [cartographic material]

    Manuscripts

    This significant Spanish derrotero contains 149 charts depicting the West Coast of the New World from Mexico to the Straits of Megellan. In addition, this manuscript has no chart titles or index. This derrotero was once thought to be that captured by Bartholomew Sharpe and used as the basis for William Hacke's atlas (see mssHM 265). However a close comparison of the charts with those of the Basil Ringrose atlas (based on the derrotero captured by Captain Henry Morgan) and the Hacke atlas indicate that this derrotero was not the principal source for Hacke's work. It is more likely that this copy is the one captured by Morgan in a 1671 raid on Panama.
