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.

Bibliographical Data

The first document is obtained from Antonio Alvarez de Abreu’s Extracto historial (Madrid, 1736), fol. 1–28; from a copy of that work in the possession of Edward E. Ayer, Chicago.

The second document is part of Diego Aduarte’s Historia de la provincia del Sancto Rosario (Manila, 1640), pp. 1–167; from a copy of that work in the possession of Edward E. Ayer. It will be continued in the next two volumes of this series.
