Abstract
This work, written by André Thevet, contains a rather detailed, though somewhat exaggerated account of Tupinamba ceremonial canabalism. The author's style of writing gives a rather confusing picture at times, and it is suggested that the file user read the entire text before attempting to use specific categories.
