The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. Amerigo Vespucci (1454-1512) became a controversial figure after the publication of two letters attempting to undermine Christopher Columbus. These letters and other documents are provided in this volume.
Volume 90 of the publications of the Hakluyt Society (1894) contains letters by Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (1454 1512).
