1573 1^ed Philip II SPAIN Empire Christopher COLUMBUS Voyages America Gallarati

Philip II of Spain was one of the most powerful monarchs in Europe in the 16^th-century. Reigning over Portugal, Naples, Sicily, and even the King of Ireland and England for a few years, Philip II’s authority covered much of the Western world. Italian author Giacomo Gallarati (Galerati) wrote one of the most important histories of the reign of Philip II; and this work focused on the countries and regions within Spanish Empire in the early to mid-16^th-century.

First published in 1573, “De titulis Philippi Austrii Regis Catholici” is best-known for its inclusion of the voyages and discovery of America with descriptions of the voyages of Ferdinand Magellan and Christopher Columbus! This fine first edition contains 40 woodcut figures of coats-of-arms and portraits – a highly valuable and coveted first edition!
