"Voyages de Francois Coreal aux Indes Occidentales, contenant ce qu'il y a vu de plus remarquable pendant son sejour depuis 1666, jusqu'en 1697," Paris: Denis Horthemels, 1722. Two volumes. Titles printed in red and black, four engraved maps and eleven plates.
This book, which claims to be the translation of a Spanish original by Francois Coreal, who may or may not have actually existed. No evidence of a Spanish original has been found, and the text itself is primarily plagiarized from French explorer Jean de Lery's 1578 "Histoire d'un Voyage Faict en la Terre du Bresil, Autrement dite Amerique," along with several assorted passages from Sir Walter Raleigh.
