Leather bindings with gilded spine / Leather bindings of the period with spine title and spine gilding This very interesting travel account is attributed to a Spanish author of uncertain identity, Francisco (François) Coreal. It claims to be a French translation of Coreal's first-hand Spanish account detailing numerous voyages to Brazil and Latin America from 1666 to 1697. These purported travels occupy approximately half of the volumes. The remaining sections are a diverse assortment of texts drawn from the travel narratives of Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) and his contemporaries. Many scholars argue that Francisco Coreal was a fictitious name, likely for an author who never visited the locations described. This skepticism is bolstered by the absence of an original Spanish version of the work and significant portions of Coreal's narrative being plagiarized from Jean de Léry's influential 1578 work, "Histoire d'un voyage faict en la terre du Bresil, autrement dite Amerique" (History of a Voyage to the Land of Brazil, Also Called America). In several instances, Coreal elaborated on Léry's text with his own observations. It is therefore believed that Coreal's account is actually a compilation of the travels and discoveries of other explorers.
