FIRST EDITION of one of the earliest histories of the discovery and conquest of Peru. Not in the Salvá library. Zarate was sent to Peru in 1543 by Charles V to collect special taxes under the Emperor's 'New Laws'. He was in Lima at the time of Gonzalo Pizarro's rebellion, and his book ends with the execution of Pizarro and the integration of Peru into the Spanish Empire in 1548. His account became so popular that translations appeared in Italian, Flemish and English. Church 126; JCB (3) I:287; Sabin 106272; Palau XXVIII, 379628; cf. Salvá II, 3425 (1577 edition).
