The 'Historia General y Natural de las Indias' is a massive 50-book work. While various scholars have translated specific sections, chapters, or related summaries (such as the 'Sumario' or excerpts concerning the De Soto expedition) into English, there is no complete, unabridged English translation of the entire work. The existing English publications are either partial selections or focused on specific historical events covered within the larger text.
