Itemq[ue] alijs pluribus mira[n]dis, quæ nouissima Castellanorum nauigatio sereniss. imperatoris Caroli. V. auspicio suscepta, nuper inuenit
By Maximilianus, Transylvanus
Published in 1523

An account of the Spanish expedition around the world, from 1519 to 1522, under the command of Ferdinand Magellan.

This is the first edition. Two other editions published in the same year are known: Paris, 1523; and, Rome, 1523, the latter under title: Maximiliani Transyluani cæsaris a secretis Epistola, de admirabili & nouissima Hispanoru[m] in Orientem nauigatione.

Maximilianus Transylvanus (Transilvanus, Transylvanianus), also Maximilianus of Transylvania and Maximilian (Maximiliaen) von Sevenborgen (c. 1490 – c. 1538), was a sixteenth-century author based in Flanders who wrote the earliest account published on Magellan and Elcano's first circumnavigation of the world (1519–22). Written after he interviewed the survivors of the Victoria, and being a relative of sponsor Christopher de Haro, his account De Moluccis Insulis is a main source about the expedition along with that of Antonio Pigafetta.
