Title and coat of arms within woodcut border

The "Brevissima relacion de la destruycion de las Indias" together with the other seven treatises by Las Casas printed in Seville between 1552 and 1553, eight if the "Lo que se sigue ..." is considered as a separate as it sometimes is, were issued as separates and upon completion of printing, apparently also as a set. They are not always found bound together in the same order nor necessarily in the order in which they were printed, however. Cf. Church, E.D. Discovery, 87-96

Reprinted in photofacsimile and modern typeface, including the "Lo que se sigue ..." on facing pages in: Tratados de fray Bartolomé de las Casas (México: Fondo de Cultura Económica, 1965), v. 1, p. [2]-215
