Second and Third Cortes Letters of 1524 ".a work of bedrock importance to the New World" - William S. Reese. Textually Complete Examples of Both Letters in a Fine Early-17th-Century Sammelband Containing 2 Related Works The first Latin editions of Hernan Cortes's 2nd and 3rd letters. This is the first textually complete set of the two letters to appear on the market in thirty years. The folding map of Tenochtitlan and the Gulf Coast not present, as usual. The two letters by Cortes, present here in their first Latin editions, stand as "one of the most valuable accounts of all time" (Guillermo Tovar de Teresa). The exciting news of the Spanish conquistador's entry into Mexico and his encounters with Montezuma and the Aztecs in 1519 riveted European readers.

This presentation is the most textually complete of the 2nd and 3rd Letters in Latin; none of Cortes's other letters was printed at Nuremberg. The Cortes Letters: The Splendid Narrative About the New Spain of the Ocean Sea Cortes wrote a total of five letters to the Hapsburg Emperor Charles V, describing his exploits in Mexico in 1519-22. In these letters he presented himself as a self-styled independent agent; indeed, Cortes rather brazenly asserted himself by reporting directly to the Emperor. For a classic overview see Justin Windsor's Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 2, pages 349-430. The First Letter, purportedly written in 1519, and said to be dated 16th day of June, was never published and is now lost. The so-called Primera Relaci n dated at Vera Cruz on July 10, 1519 and often found in modern translations of the letters, is a summary of events set forth by the municipal council of Vera Cruz and was not written by Cortes. The existence of the First Letter is based on a reference by Cortes himself in the opening lines of his Second Letter, though at least one scholar suggests the wily conqueror never actually sent the missive, an intentional omission motivated by the initially .
