Pigafetta's account of the Spanish voyage to the Moluccas, printed in Paris in 1525 by Simon de Colines for a French readership, recounting Magellan's expedition and the customs of the islands. The four pictures are close views of pages in black-letter French type, with large decorated initial capitals and dense justified text, offering a designer a model for historical typography, drop caps, and early sixteenth-century page layout.
