Libro de la Cámara Real del príncipe don Juan, oficios de su casa y servicio ordinario
A l'any 1548, el cronista Gonzalo Fernández d'Oviedo (1478-1557) va concloure la redacció del Llibre de la Cámara Real del príncipe don Juan, un breu tractat en el qual es fa memòria sobre l'organització interna per la qual es va regir la casa del príncep don Joan (1478-1497), primogènit i únic fill varó dels Reis Catòlics. Inèdita des de 1870, l'obra s'oferix ara en una edició crítica anotava i precedida d'estudi, que pren com testimoniatges els dos manuscrits autògrafs conservats. Al llarg de les seues pàgines, inicialment dedicades al futur Felip II, Fernández d'Oviedo -testimoni de quant narra i descriu- brinda al lector d'avui la possibilitat de compartir el pols de la vida quotidiana en la cort del príncep destinat a heretar, per vegada primera, les corones d'Aragó i Castella.
The Journey of the Vaca Party
"Deals with the governance of the provinces of the rivers Pánuco and Hermoso, which are the two great rivers which together penetrate the north coast. It also deals with the Palmas River which is more to the east, going up the coast and in the direction of the province called Florida. And it tells of how Captain Pánfilo de Narváez and his people, who went to settle these provinces and rivers, became lost."--page [1].
Nature in the New World
Translated by Jeremy Moyle In Nature in the New World (translated into English in 1985), Antonello Gerbi examines the fascinating reports of the first Europeans to see the Americas. These accounts provided the basis for the images of strange and new flora, fauna, and human creatures that filled European imaginations.Initial chapters are devoted to the writings of Columbus, Vespucci, Cortes, Verrazzano, and others. The second portion of the book concerns the Historia general y natural de las Indias of Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo, a work commissioned by Charles V of Spain in 1532 but not published in its entirety until the 1850s. Antonello Gerbi contends that Oviedo, a Spanish administrator who lived in Santo Domingo, has been unjustly neglected as a historian. Gerbi shows that Oviedo was a major authority on the culture, history, and conquest of the New World.
Las Memorias de Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo
This is an edition of the parts of the Quincuagenas of Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo that the author considers "aspectos de las Quincuagenas que podemos considerar respaldados por las vivencias del autor," hence the title Memorias. We are left, however, with two substantial volumes of which this is the first.
Natural Designs
Natural Designs chronicles the life and work of the earliest and most influential Spanish historian of the New World, Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo (1478–1557). Through a combination of biography and visual and textual analysis, Elizabeth Gansen explores how Oviedo, in his writings, brought the European Renaissance to bear on his understanding of New World nature. Oviedo learned much from the humanists with whom he came into contact in the courtly circles of Spain and Italy, including Giovanni Battista Ramusio and Pietro Bembo, and witnessed Christopher Columbus regaling Queen Isabel and King Ferdinand with news from his inaugural voyage to the Indies. Fascinated by the Caribbean flora and ...
