The report of the first circumnavigation was written by one of its few survivors, Filippo Pigafetta. Volume I (194 pp.) contains the introduction, translation and index. Vol. 2 (unpaginated) is a copy of the beautiful original manuscript in full color. Hardbound in cream cloth, embossed astrolabe on front covers and red/gilt lettering on the spines, housed in original red cloth slipcase with illustrated paper label.
