Book Description
This book tracks down and compares the primary sources drawn upon for De Rebus Indicis, in so far as these are accessible. It identifies Calvete’s classical models, then determines the nature of the historian’s use of his sources, both Spanish and Latin, as he sought to transform them into a work of art suitable for a European public.
