Necessarie for those that delight in reading of histories: and also for traueilers by land or sea. Newly set foorth by Thomas Blundeville, of Newton Flotman in the countie of Norffolke. Gent.

south_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o the_o cape_n saint_n vincent_n in_o portugal_n you_o go_v right_a south_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o gibraltar_n almost_o east_n southeast_n again_o from_o
