About This Book

The volume gathers two retrospective seventeenth-century documents: a legal and commercial survey tracing royal ordinances, Council of the Indies debates, and memorials arguing for the maintenance and expansion of trade between the Philippine archipelago and Nueva España up to 1640; and the opening sections of a comprehensive Dominican account of missionary activity in the islands, summarizing the foundation, organization, and religious work of the Dominican province with notes on local conditions. It includes translations, bibliographical data, and facsimile plates such as contemporary maps and title-pages to illustrate sources.

Other miracles wrought by this holy image

[The accounts of this extraordinary miracle moved the whole city and aroused its devotion. The sick crowded to the chapel for healing, and so many miracles were wrought that it seemed ungrateful not to make a record and a verification of them. Pains of all kinds, fevers, difficult births, were cured; in one case a child which was almost drowned, and had turned black in the face, was brought back to life. The records of individual cases are given in detail, with the dates, the names of the afflicted persons, and the names of the witnesses.]
