Editio princeps of a valuable work ; not seen 

 The dedication is signed "L. D. P." (i. e. Louia 

 de Poincy) : the book, however, was compiled by 

 de Rochefort, whose name appears in the sub- 

 sequent eds. Du Tertre avers that the bulk of the 

 work was taken, errors included, from his own 

 book, which appeared in 1654. Boehmer says 

 there was an ed. at Rotterdam, 1639, but this 

 seems to be an error. Often reprinted and 

 translated, some titles of which follow. 

 ■ The "Vocabulaire Caraibe" is by P^re Rai- 

 mond Breton (5. u. 1665.1 this section).
