Wikipedia, viewed July 26, 2016 (Girolamo Benzoni (born at Milan about 1519) was an Italian conquistador and merchant who wrote a popular account of his travels. In the dedication of the first edition of his Historia del Mondo Nuovo he claims to have been born of humble parentage and unable to go to college. He then writes a new dedication in the second Italian edition in 1572. After that nothing is known of Benzoni.)
