Notes

  • -  Giovanni da Verrazzano (1470-1528) was a Florentine who entered the service of the kings of France about 1495 and made several voyages to America for them. In 1523, sailing out from Dieppe, he explored and charted the east coast of North America from Florida to Newfoundland (30° to 50° north latitude). During the course of this voyage he discovered New York Harbor. His final voyage was in 1528, during the course of which he lost his life. This collection is a miscellaneous group of Verrazzano materials, ranging from autograph letters to copies of passages from printed works.
