The first edition of German part four can be identified by line 32 of text on p. 37 ending with "gegen den" and by line 31 of text on p. 95 ending with "vnd", as with other variations on each page after a close but not identical reprinting of the sheets for the second edition
German translation, by Nikolaus Höniger, of book one of: Historia del Mondo Nuovo / by Girolamo Benzoni, first printed Venice, 1565, and first translated into German under title: Der Newen Weldt und Indianischen Königsreichs, Basel, 1579
German part four is supplemented by annotations supplied by Urbain Chauveton from the author's Novae Novi Orbis historiae, first printed in Geneva, 1578
This part contains the beginning of Girolamo Benzoni's Historia del Mondo Nuovo. The remainder was published in the parts V and VI. Benzoni's work was first published in Italian at Venice in 1565. It was translated into Latin by Urbain Chauveton. He also translated the work into French. De Bry has followed Chauveton's translation which was published at Geneva in 1578, and has added to it Latin translations of some of the notes which appeared in the French edition. Cf. Church
