Das sechste Theil der Neuwen Welt is a 1596 German-language account of Spanish conquest in the Americas, printed at Frankfurt am Main by Johann Feyrabend for Dietrich de Bry, drawing on Benzoni and Chauveton. The pages are dense black-letter text with large decorative initial letters, and one plate shows Spanish soldiers, ships and a fortified gate in combat with native figures, useful for designers studying early modern German print layout and narrative woodcut composition.
