Contains descriptions of life in Brazil, Mexico, Florida, Canada and Newfoundland in the mid-16th Century. Translation of: Les singularitez de la France antarctique, autrement nommée Amerique. Translated from French to Italian by M. Giuseppe Horologgi. -- Thevet writes as if recording his own experiences but he never came to Canada or Newfoundland himself, and the sections in his book dealing with those areas were compiled from interviews with those who had, as well as other published accounts (Marcel Trudel, "Thevet, André," Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol.1).
