Enrico Martinez, Reportorio de los tiempos y historia natural desta Nueva Espana (Mexico, 1606)

An almanac, cosmography and natural history computed for the sky over Mexico rather than shipped from Spain, printed in 1606 by its author, the crown's cosmographer. Its prologue says why: books brought from the kingdoms of Spain do not agree with the meridian and climate of this land. Its chapter on the lake of Mexico blames Spanish ploughs and cattle for loosening the hillsides, reasons that the silt is raising the lake bed while the city sinks, and warns the city may suffer for it.
