Note:
Both "Colonia" and the name of the printer are false. From the typography and the skill in the composition of the Spanish characters, it must be supposed that the printer was a Sephardi Jew. Possibly David de Castro Tartaz, maybe Jacob de Cordova.
Really printed in Amsterdam by Portuguese Jewish printer David de Castro Tartaz; contains laudatory poetry by Duarte (Moseh) Lopes Rosa and Miguel (Daniel Levi) de Barrios, and an extensive poem on the Caribbean by Barrios.
