With the exception of Christopher Columbus, Bartolome de las Casas is arguably the most notable figure of the Encounter Age. This book provides the most wide-ranging and concise anthology of Las Casas's writings. It contains not only excerpts from his most well-known texts, but also his largely unavailable writings on political philosophy and law.

The De Soto expedition forms an integral part of the great age of discovery and conquest in the Americas triggered by the Columbian voyages. This two-volume set offers new and refined translations of writings about the expedition, and previously unpublished documents relevant to it.
