Extrahido do Archivo dos Açores Vol. XII, pag. 353. Asserts that the discoverer of Labrador was Joao Fernandez whom, along with Pedro of Barcellos, had seen it in their explorations of 1492 and who had given it the name Lavvador or Labrador. Ernesto Canto (1831-1900) was founder and editor of the Achivo dos Açores. This copy was a gift to Henry Vignaud (scholar, book collector, historian of Columbus, and secretary of the American legation in Paris) from Dr. Eduardo Abreu (to whom the work is dedicated) who had sent to Ernesto Do Canto a vast number of documents from the Torre de Tombo in Lisbon which were the source of this work and which formed a significant portion of the large library on the Azores which Canto bequeathed to the Biblioteca Pública e Arquivo de Ponta Delgada. Provenance: Bookplate of Henry Vignaud, card from Abreu to Vignaud congratulating him on becoming President of the Society des Americanistas; signed by Abreu to Vignaud on the limitation page, (there is a second tipped in card of Abreu). For the importance of this theory at the turn of the century see Isabel Moore's article, Neglected Americana (New York Times Review of Books, August 30, 1902, p. 15).
