"The pics here are from Beinecke MS 351, the oldest surviving version of Antonio Pigafetta's account of the first circumnavigation of the world.

It includes the oldest lists of words in Tupi, a language of the Brazilian coast (f.10v), and Cebuano, a language of the central Philippines (f.51v)."

  "An excerpt from a manuscript on paper. There is a box containing eight terms in an indigenous American language with their equivalents in French. The terms include words for 'fishhook', 'flour', 'knife', and 'comb'. The title says, in red and blue ink and in a slender 16th-century hand, "Aulcuns Vocables des Peuples de Verzin", meaning 'some terms of the people of Brazil'."
