About This Book

A translated Dominican chronicle recounts the order’s missionary activity in northern Luzón around the turn of the seventeenth century, detailing efforts to eradicate local idolatry and to replace it with Christian observance. It describes clerical austerity, church-building, baptismal and catechetical work, and the social effects of conversion, including reduced violence, communal prayer practices, and greater friendliness toward Spaniards. The narrative treats the life and death of a charitable bishop, offers eyewitness reports of mission villages and converts, and records appeals for additional missionaries alongside accounts of exorcisms and other events interpreted as divine favor supporting the evangelizing effort.
