Beaumont, Pablo de la Purisima Concepcion (c1710-c1780)Biblio.com

Crónica de Michoacán

1932CA02463 volumes. xxix-574 pages with 4 folding maps; 466 pages with folding coats of arms 6 folding native illustrations and map; 469 pages with 2 coats of arms one folding and 6 folding native illustrations. Royal octavo 9 1/2" x 7" bound in three quarter blue leather with raised spine bands and gilt lettering to spine. Introduction by Rafael Lopez. From the library of George Foster. Publicaciones del Archivo General de la Nacion volume XVII XVIII and XIX. There are only meager biographical data about Pablo de la Purísima Concepción Beaumont whose work is a major source on Michoacán. Despite its title "Chronicle of the Holy Apostles St Peter and St Paul of Michoacán" Beaumont's work in fact spans a much greater area including much of western Mexico northward to New Mexico and tending toward a general history. It provides details to 1565. Beaumont divided his total work into tow major parts the firs or Aparato intended to be introductory to the second or the Crónica proper. the first seems complete but the second was never finished. The Aparato takes up fully a third of the extant Beaumont work although nominally introductory. It deals with the discovery of America and the conquest of Mexico to the year 1521. It was twice published before appearance of the total work. Far more valuable is the Crónica. It consists of two books and one chapter of book 3. Beaumont drew on a wide variety of sources. He tell us us that he gathered a large quantity of manuscripts from various Franciscan archives as well as listing 30 standard writers in printed sources. He gives full copies of some of his documents of which several have since disappeared. He speaks of obtaining a native painting possibly from which his illustrations came. These paintings show incidents of the first visits of Spaniards to Michoacán there reception by Tarascans labors of the Franciscans coats of arms of principal cities of Michoacán. It is usually through that Beaumont composed his work around 1777. That is the last date in the later copies of the original manuscript. Unfortunately his original manuscript is lost. It was copied in Mexico City around 1792 to for volumes 7-11 of a 32 volume Collection of Memories on New Spain ordered by Viceroy Conde de Revilla Gigedo and compiled by Manuel de la Vega. Three partially complete sets of these Vega Memorias are known; from one or another of them come other recopied manuscript copies as well as the printed versions. Editions of the work have a somewhat unfortunate publishing history. In 1826 Bustamante published an incomplete and useless edition of the Aparato attributing it to Vega who had owned the manuscript Bustamante used. In 1873-74 a five volume edition of both Aparato and Crónica appeared in Mexico; it lacks the Indian drawings and was based on a secondary manuscript copy made b y J F Ramirez that then belonged to Alfredo Chavero. A three volume version was published by the National Archives of Mexico in 1932 based on their copy of the 1792 collection of Memorias; it contains the Indian drawings and an introduction by Rafael Lopez. The text seems slightly corrupt but it may be near the original as Beaumont said his Spanish was defective owing to his Parisian rearing. George McClelland Foster Jr born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics including acculturation long-term fieldwork peasant economies pottery making public health social structure symbolic systems technological change theories of illness and wellness humoral medicine in Latin America and worldview. The quantity quality and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated. Provenance from the executor of Foster's library laid in. Condition: Some underlining in pencil through out by Foster.

Alonso de la Rea was born in Queretaro in 1610. He wrote his Cronica in 1637-1639 providing data on Michoacán and Jalisco. For many matters he leaned heavily on Torquemada who in turn had copied them from Mendieta. Ricard quoting an 18th century opinion mentions that Rea lacked interest in chronology to an excessive degree. His work was however an official and methodical chronicle of the province preserving considerable detail about it. Rea's Cronica . 1639 was first published in 1643 and is now a bibliographical rarity. The volume is divided into three books totaling 92 chapter. Book 1 describes the region products people their dealings with Aztecs their general traits religious rites the last native emperors and coming of the Spaniards. This is followed by arrival of the Franciscan missionaries with biographies of some of these pioneer friars. Book 2 begins with the division of the province between Michoacán and Jalisco 1606 and contains numerous biographies of the members of that order. Book 3 is also a series of lives and an account of the Custodio del Rio Verde. The second edition was published in Mexico 1882. It includes additional relevant documents in three appendices. At the end of the text there is a table of contents but no index.

Cordova Salinas, Diego de (1591-c1654)Biblio.com

Cronica Franciscana de las Provincias del Peru

1957BOOKS008206xciii1195 pages with frontispiece illustrations bibliography and index. Quarto 11 3/4" x 8 1/4" issued in wrappers and rebound in quarter leather with gilt lettering to spine with original wrappers bound in. Introduction and notes by Lino G Canedo. Foreword by Antonine Tibsear. Franciscan Historical Classics Volume I. Limited to 750 copies. First published in Lima in 1651. Second edition. Fray Diego de Cordova Salinas lived in Lima 1591-1654. In 1620 he was appointed notario apostolico of the Franciscan Order with the task of collecting canonical information on the life and the virtues of friars who had died with a reputation for sanctity muertos en opinion de santidad. Already at this time he seems to have been commissioned to write the chronicle of the Franciscan provinces of Peru i.e. of all the Spanish possessions in South America. During the following decades he was busy with this collecting information and with composing biographies and relations some of them lost some preserved in manuscript others published by the author himself. All these works can be regarded as preparatory studies to his opus magnum: the Cronica franciscana printed in Lima in 1651. This work contains data on diverse subjects: geography ethnography ethnology history. Fray Diego however pays attention chiefly to the activities of the Franciscans and most especially to the lives and miracles of friars dead with a reputation for sanity having for these subjects quite a lot of good information including personal experiences. Thus his chronicle no doubt is of great interest for the student of Franciscan history. To other historians however it is of little use. The fact is that the author has the custom of copying often word by word his sources. Seeking in the Cronica franciscana for notices concerning the Inca period and the Spanish conquest or the viceregal government of Peru you will only find facts and opinions taken over from Father Acosta Antonio de Herrera Garcilaso de la Vega Solorzano Pereira and other authorities cited by the chronicler. This lack of originality is typical for the seventeenth-century chronicler. On the other hand Fray Diego usually informs us of his sources in a more satisfactory manner than is customary among his contemporaries inserting name of authors title of books chapters and often folio numbers as well. HAHR: volume XXXVIII page 123-4 Condition: Some slight scuffing pages uncut. A very good copy. Academy of American Franciscan History hardcover
