ARGONAUTICON AMERICANORUM, SIVE, HISTORIAE PERICULORUM PETRI DE VICTORIA.... This book is often described as the first Latin edition of Pedro Gobeo de Victoria's NAUFRAGIO Y PEREGRINATIO, first published in Seville in 1610, but it is in fact a novel which uses that work as a basis. The author was a Jesuit, and the thread of this story runs through Jesuit missions in America and along the Amazon. The map, after Ortelius, depicts the western hemisphere.
