The posthumous papers of Juan Dodrigo Bermejo of Triana, a Voyager with Christopher Columbus to the New Lands beyond the Ocean Sea anno Domini MCCCCLXXXXII and cunningly misused by the Great Explorer; this Bermejo being the avenger who, under duress, changed his name to Mudarra and suffered the calumny of bastardry to vindicate himself and punish his Oppressors; and his singular Adventure being entitled The Velvet Doublet, insasmuch as an historic raiment entangled his Desty and thereby altered the Lives and Fortunes of divers Notable Persons.
