THE AUTHORS’ GLOSS for their Fig. 326 (a full-spread, color plate) is brief, but informative, with a description of the original ms. map held by the Simancas Archives that confirms the description given in I. N. Phelps Stokes. The Velasco ms. copy of 1611 is, we learn, a “large map [31.5 x 43.625 inches], in color on four sheets.” I give the complete text of the authors’ gloss below:
