Note: Although we have placed this woodcut in correspondence with 6406A, it is clear that the latter, which was published in 1583, cannot be the source of the former, which was first published in Mexico City in 1577. It is equally clear, however, that the actual source of 6406B must be an ancestor of 6406A. We have placed 6406A and 6406B in correspondence in the hopes that this correspondence will take us closer to it. PESSCA welcomes any information leading us in that direction.
