Universale della Parte del Mondo Nuovamente Ritrovata. [Venice: 1606].

He was searching for the great cities of Cibola and Quivera, both of which proved disappointing ... The Sierra Neuadas appear for the first time, following the voyage of Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo, in 1542, when he sailed two vessels along the Californian coastline as far as Santa Barbara' (Burden). Third state, with the geography unchanged, and only minor alterations to the title and pagination. Burden 24; Wagner, Northwest Coast 35.
