The "Schiffart in Brasilien in America." beginning on p. [1-32], 3rd count, has sections on p. 162, 168, p. 219 and 222, 4th counts, which contain staves of music with chants in a native Brazilian language, and other scattered words in this language, which is spoken by the Tuppin Imba people, possibly the Tupi tribe; a dialogue in the [possible] Tupi language appears in German and Tupi on p. 248-250 and 249-264, 4th and 5th counts.

The sole issue of the second edition of German part three can be identified by line 6 of the title ending in "publiciert" and line 10 has the word "vnerhörtem"; an unengraved, letterpress only title page appears on p. [1], 3rd count; other textual differences exist between the first and the second editions which can be found in Church.

This part is made up of two separate narratives: the first is an account of two voyages made to Brazil in 1546-1548 and 1549-1555 by Johann von Staden. This narrative was originally written in German by the author and published at Marburg in 1557. The second part is an account of a voyage to Brazil in 1556-1558, by Jean de Léry. The narrative of this voyage was originally published in French in 1578. Cf. Church.

This work has been identified as sole issue of the second German edition of part three of the Great voyages by Church.
