Complete sets of the monthly parts are very rare but individual parts are also scarce and often lack the general or monthly part title. Pedro Teixeira (d.1641) was a Portuguese explorer who was the first European to travel the full length of the Amazon River in 1637 but this narrative is of an earlier journey through the Middle East. Although it finishes with his arrival in Venice he then continued to Antwerp where he wrote this account, explaining the contrary destinations given on the general and drop-head titles.
