De las Islas halladas en las Indias. Lat. :] Epistola de insulis Indie supra Gangem nuper inventis. Tr. Leandro di Cosco
This is a 1493 Roman incunable printed by Stephan Planck, containing Christopher Columbus's letter on his New World voyage in a Latin translation by Leandro de Cosco, intended for scholars and collectors of early printed books. The two pictures are close views of a gilt-stamped coat of arms on a brown marbled cover, showing a crowned shield with three stars and a bordered oval of trees and hills that a designer could use as a model for embossed foil crests and heraldic seals.
