Chapter XXIV: Canto IV: , Oct. 70 (1)

Barros Arana in his _Historia de Chile_, vol. II, 267, n., regarded it of so little value that even if it had been completed and corrected it would have been hardly worth printing. The manuscript in incomplete form is in possession of the Academy of History of Madrid.

In the thirteenth volume of the _Colección de libros españoles raros o curiosos_ appeared in 1879 a number of narratives dealing with South American affairs. The first is an account of the siege of Cuzco, and the second is an account of Girón’s rebellion.

[22] Zárate’s _Historia_ was reprinted in Seville in 1577, and again by Barcia in 1749. An English translation by T. Nicholas was issued in London in 1581; a Dutch translation at Amsterdam in 1596; a French translation at Paris in 1716.

[23] Pedro de Alvarado had served under Cortés in Mexico; had been governor of Guatemala; went southward with five hundred men to take Quito, pretending to believe it was outside of Pizarro’s territory; found Almagro in possession of the region; and agreed to withdraw on condition of receiving a payment of one hundred thousand pesos.

[41] When one was acclaimed sovereign Inca, the _llantu_, or fringe, was placed on his head, this act forming part of a ceremony corresponding to a royal coronation. Other features of the ceremony were fastening over the Inca’s shoulders the _yacolla_, or mantle, and clasping about his wrist the _chapana_ or bracelet.—See Markham, _The Incas of Peru_, 292.

Edición del centenario ilustrada con grabados, documentos, notas históricas y bibliográficas y una biografía del autor_, 5 vols. Santiago de Chile, 1910-1918.

[57] Figueroa’s account of this affair, _Hechos de Don García de Mendoza_, p. 103, is translated in Ticknor’s footnote, _History of Spanish Literature_, II, 433.

[58] I sing neither of women, nor love, nor the gallantry of enamoured knights, nor the pledges, the delights, the tenderness of amorous passion and solicitude, but the valour, the exploits, the prowess of those intrepid Spaniards who by the sword placed the heavy yoke upon the untamed neck of Arauco.

I shall declare also especially noteworthy acts of a people who never obeyed a king, its daring and memorable enterprises, which with reason merit celebration, its rare stratagems, its praiseworthy resolutions that greatly magnify the Spaniards, since no conqueror is more esteemed than that one where the vanquished is renowned.

[59] And I, who have given to the world without stint the best years of my life, and always by a headlong course have pursued my vain hopes, having seen how little advantage I have derived, how much I have offended God, and, recognising my error, give here the reason why I weep and sing no more.

[60] Medina, in his _Edición del centenario_ of the poem, gives (_Ilustración x_) a detailed account of all the editions which have appeared, and his work should be consulted by all students of the subject. The dates of the first editions of the three parts of the poem are given above. In 1597 a revised and augmented edition of the whole work appeared in Madrid. It is on this edition, which contains 37 instead of 35 cantos, that all subsequent texts have been based. In his _Ilustración xiii_, Medina prints a complete table of variants and additions. It is significant of the contemporary popularity of the poem that it was actually the sixteenth (of one or more parts) to be printed in Spain or the Netherlands. It should be noted that the seventeenth edition mentioned by Medina, which also appeared in 1597 in Antwerp, does not contain the alterations and additions of the Madrid edition of that year. It may be added that Medina notices forty-eight editions of _La Araucana_, the last having the date 1911.

[61] _La Araucana_, Cant. XIII, Oct. 44-57; XIV, Oct. 13.

[62] He was a young and noble warrior, of dignified bearing, a man of authority, grave and severe, a friend and guardian of every right, a rigid and inflexible advocate of justice, of a great stature, massive shoulders and chest, adroit, skilful, powerful and agile, wise, cunning, keen, resolute, and cool and calm in unforeseen exigencies.

[63] “Caciques, defenders of the state, no desire for command persuades me to regret to see you pretenders, to an honour to which I was justly entitled; because, on account of my age, you see, señores, that I am about to depart for the other world; but the love I have always shown you has moved me to give you good counsel.

“Why do we pretend to honourable offices and to be held in high esteem, since we cannot deny to the world that we have been subdued and conquered? And being still oppressed by the Spaniards we do not wish to inquire into this matter. It would be better to turn this vehemence against the proud enemy in battle.

“How great is your fury, O Araucanos, which, without your knowing it, is carrying you on to perdition? Why are you turning your hands against your fellows and not using them in resistance against the tyrant? The Christians are at your gates, and you are turning the sword against yourselves. If the desire to die moves you, let it not be in a state so low and dejected.

“Turn your arms and enraged minds against the breasts of those who have plunged you into dire servitude, and subjected you to an ignominious condition manifest to all the world. Throw off from your neck the shameful yoke; thus show your courage and your strength. Pour out the blood that remains to you only to redeem us from this state.

“It does not grieve me to observe the ardour of your spirit; rather it invigorates me; but I fear that your courage badly governed may depart from the right path; that, discord having come back among us, you may destroy your country with its force, then, if this must be, cut first this old throat.

“This enfeebled body, tormented by the blows of fortune, awaits only the sharp edge of the sword, since no such misfortune has overtaken it. That life is indeed fortunate which is sealed by an early death. But, considering only our public welfare, I wish here to utter my opinion.

“You are equal in valour and strength; Heaven has accorded to you equality in birth; it has made among you an equal partition of lineage, of station and of riches; and each of you, individually, by his courage and greatness of spirit might govern the world. This precious gift, not recognized by you, has brought you to this present situation.

“I hope that the strength of your arm may soon bring a remedy. There must be a supreme chief by whom all may consent to be governed; this shall be the one who shall be able to bear on his shoulder a great log the longest without interruption; and since fate has made you all equal, let each of you seek to triumph by his superior strength.”

[64] There was generally a lack of biographical information concerning early writers whether in Spain or in America. One had only an imperfect knowledge of his contemporaries. Cristóbal Mosquera de Figueroa wrote in 1596 that Ercilla was writing a poem on the victories of the Marqués de Santa Cruz, but at that time the poet had been dead two years. For more than a hundred years after Cervantes’ death no biography of him had been published. The first one was published in London in 1738. Ercilla, however, in a measure provided against such lack of knowledge concerning himself by recording in _La Araucana_ many of the incidents and circumstances of his life. See volume containing Ercilla’s _Vida_ in Medina’s _Edición del centenario_.

[65] “The sincere goodness and the expression of affection of the simple folk of these regions, make it understood that covetousness had not penetrated these mountains; neither had wickedness, robbery, and injustice, the ordinary support of wars, there found entrance, nor had the law of nature been corrupted.”—This reference is to the island of Chiloé.

[69] Figueroa’s book was published in 1613, and was republished in the _Colección de historiadores de Chile_, Santiago de Chile, 1864; see Barros Arana’s Introduction to the fifth volume of this collection, also _Obras completas_, VIII, 210.

Figueroa was born in Valladolid in 1578. In his book _El pasajero_ he narrates the varied vicissitudes of his early life. His father was a lawyer whose family was from Galicia. Envious of the special attention shown his brother and probably for other reasons, he left his home at the age of seventeen, wishing to go to Italy, and expressing in the presence of his parents his determination not to return to Spain while they lived. He studied at Bologna and was there granted an academic degree. From the governor of Milan he obtained the post of auditor of a body of troops operating in Piedmont against France. After the death of his brother and his parents he returned to Valladolid, where instead of an inheritance he found debts and more debts. In Cuellar, as the result of a quarrel, he “was accused of homicide, and long days of imprisonment followed.” He subsequently visited Ubeda, Jaén, and Granada. “Here,” to quote from _El Pasajero_, “I became desperately enamoured of a rich and noble lady, an only daughter, much courted by suitors, but in spite of my humble condition I knew how to make myself accepted. Her unexpected death caused in me such a sentiment that again I saw myself at the point of death.... From Granada I went to Seville, and at Santa María I began a true friendship with Luis Carrillo. I went then to Madrid, where I took my pen, and wrote a number of _borrones_, which the learned with great courtesy honoured.... Tired of life in Madrid, I embarked a second time for Italy from Barcelona.... This time I had not the least sentiment in abandoning my native soil, where my childhood had been nourished, my boyhood and youth had received training and education, as the first time, thinking that to the brave any part of the world might serve as a country and a home.”—Quoted by Medina, _Lit. col. de Chile_, II, 205-208.

The later years of his life Figueroa spent in the public service, particularly in Naples under the viceroy, as auditor; later he was in the department of justice, where his prompt and severe judgments helped very materially to curb the unruly population. The time of his death does not appear to be surely determined. Opinions range over at least three years, 1616, 1621 and 1624.

The prominent position held by _La Araucana_ in the colonial literature of South America has made it the subject of extensive comment. References here may be limited to Jean Ducamin’s critical examination of some parts of the poem, published at Paris in 1900; _Colección de los mejores autores españoles_, tomo XXI; Medina, _Historia de la literatura colonial de Chile_, I, 1-117; Barros Arana, _Obras completas_, VIII, 174-184; Ticknor, _History of Spanish Literature_, New York, 1849, II, 426-432; and especially the noteworthy publication by José Toribio Medina embracing in five volumes the life of Ercilla, the text of _La Araucana_, and notes, documents, and illustrations, Santiago de Chile, 1910-1918.

[70] The university of San Marcos was founded in 1553, and was at first carried on in the Dominican monastery. Its creation was confirmed by Pius V, July 25, 1571. It received students from without the order, and the presence of these students in the monastery became, in the course of time, a source of serious disturbance, and the university found temporary quarters elsewhere. In 1574 it received the name of San Marcos, and three years later, in 1577, it was established at its present site. In 1580 the rector acquired jurisdiction over the members of the institution, whether students or officers, in all causes, offences, and crimes relating to the University, and thus became competent to bring the academic community under discipline. But before the university had attained its full development, the colonial mind became paralysed by the terrorizing activity of the Inquisition, which had been established in Peru by the decree of January 25, 1569.

[75] “I sing the long and enfeebling war, so grave, so prolix and so tedious, that it has already broken the force of a rich and powerful kingdom; and also whatever memorable deeds those have performed by the sword who, in spite of the state, have resisted the great valour of Arauco.

“I here shall sing the most noted events that have happened between the unwearied Spaniards and the unconquered Indian rebels.”

The poem was published with an introduction and notes by José Toribio Medina at Santiago de Chile, 1888, under the title _Las Guerras de Chile, poema histórico por el sargento mayor Juan de Mendoza Monteagudo_.

In a critical note Barros Arana characterizes Bascuñán’s work as diffuse, commonplace, and heavy, when he enters upon his eternal digressions and moral philosophy, but his style takes on an air of simple animation, when he recalls certain details of domestic life or describes certain localities; and in the critic’s opinion it “ought to occupy an important place in the modest history of our colonial literature.” Introduction to _Cautiverio feliz in Colección de historiadores de Chile_, III.

[113] _Ibid._ II, 229. In his introduction to _Guerra de Chile_ printed in the fifth volume of the _Historiadores de Chile_ Barros Arana writes that Tesillo “composed a book of pretentious form, heavy and difficult to read; nevertheless, those who wish to have a profound knowledge of the history of Chile must not hesitate to make a thorough study of Tesillo’s book. In it they will find not only events referred to with sufficient minuteness, but also the observations of a man of intelligence and experience.” But, as Tesillo enjoyed the special protection of Governor Lazo de la Vega, the reader must expect to find the events of La Vega’s administration especially emphasized. The bulk of the narrative treats of the decade from 1629 to 1639.

[123] A work entitled _Historiae Peruanae ordinis Eremitarum Sancti Augustini libri octodecim, auctore Joachimo Brulio_, is said to be merely a translation of Calancha’s _Crónica_. Among other works ascribed to Calancha are _De los varones ilustres de la orden de S. Agustín_; _De Immaculatae Virginis Mariae Conceptione_ (_Limae Indorum_, 1629, 4to), an account of the founding of the sanctuaries of Copacabana and of the Prado, and an _Informe al virrey del Perú, sobre los castores que se cazan desde Callao a Chile_.

Vásquez was a soldier under Lope de Aguirre, and according to the notice on the last page of his manuscript, “credit may be given to his account, and to all he writes, because he was an honest and upright man.”—Markham’s Introduction, xxxi.

[129] The first part of the _Noticias historiales_ was issued as a printed volume at Cuenca in 1627. This was reprinted in Bogotá in 1882, and the other four volumes appeared in the latter city in 1891 and 1892.

[152] “Alors parut pour la première fois en France ... une copie de la carte gravée à Quito en 1707, et dressée dès l’année 1690 par le Père Samuel Fritz, Jésuite allemand, Missionaire sur les bords du Maragnon, qu’il avait parcouru dans toute sa longueur. Par cette carte, on apprit etc.... Du reste le Père Fritz, sans pendule et sans lunette, n’a pu déterminer aucun point en longitude. Il n’avait qu’un petit demi-circle de bois, de trois pouces de rayon pour les latitudes; enfin il etait malade quand il descendit le fleuve jusqu’au Para. Il ne faut que lire son journal manuscrit, dont j’ai une copie, pour voir que plusieurs obstacles, alors et à son retour à la mission, ne lui permirent pas de faire les observations nécessaires pour rendre sa carte exacte, surtout vers la partie inférieure du fleuve.”—M. de La Condamine, _Relation abrégée d’un voyage fait dans l’intérieur de l’Amérique Méridionale_ (Paris, 1745), pp. 13 et seq.

[158] An analysis of _Armas antárticas_, by Dr. Felix C. C. Zegarra, is printed in _La Revista peruana_, III, 292, 340, 414, 506.

[159] “I sing of arms and the military prowess of valiant Catholic Spaniards, who, over unknown and raging seas, went to dominate distant peoples, placing the Eternal Word on altars which formerly, with the insolent voices of the heathen oracles (now silent) were the terror of the Indian.”

[160] “Immediately the Inca dispatched messengers to different parts of the kingdom, in order that all people might bring quickly the shining gold; and there was no noble, no chief, no son of a chief, no child, no woman, no servants, who thus, like the provident ant, did not carry his grain to the storehouse.”

[164] Schmidel’s account of his journey has the curious title: _Warhafftige und liebliche Beschreibung etlicher fürnemen Indianischen Landtschafften und Insulen, die vormals in keiner Chronicken gedacht, und erstlich in der Schiffart Ulrici Schmidts von Straubingen mit grosser Gefahr erkündigt, und von ihm selber auffs fleissigst beschrieben und dar gethan_. It was first printed in 1567 at Frankfurt am Main at the end of a book of travels issued by Schmidel with the title _Neuwe Welt: Das ist wahrhafftige Beschreibunge, etc., etc._ This book with a new title page but otherwise unchanged was issued in the same year as the second part of a book of travels published by Sebastian Franck (_Erst Theil dieses Weltbuchs von neuwen erfundenen Landschaften. Warhafftige Beschreibunge, etc._) The second Edition appeared in 1597 in Theodor de Bry’s Collection of voyages (_America_, VII Theil) and a Latin translation by Gothard Artus was issued in 1599 in the Latin version of de Bry’s Collection (_Americae Pars VII_). In this year Levinus Hulsius in his collection of voyages issued a revised and somewhat abridged version of Schmidel’s narrative under the title _Warhafftige Historien einer wunderbaren Schiffart welche Ulrich Schmidel ... in Americam ... gethan_, and, also in 1599, a Latin version of the same revised text (_Vera historia, etc._). The first Spanish translation is said to have been made and published in 1731 by Gabriel Cárdenas (Z. Cano) (probably a pseudonym of Andrés González de Barcia: note the anagram involved); one was certainly issued by Barcia in 1749 in his _Historiadores primitivos de las Indias occidentales_. The text used is that of Hulsius. This version was reprinted with some corrections by Pedro de Angelis in his _Colección de obras y documentos relativos a la historia antigua y moderna de las Provincias del Río de la Plata_ in 1836. The first edition in French was that published by Ternaux-Compans.

[172] A few of the works of these men have been printed, but the bulk exists in MS., have been incorporated in the books of other authors, or have been lost. An abbreviated version of Cardiel’s _Breve relación_ was printed at the end of Muriel’s _Historia del Paraguay_ under the title _Costumbres de los Guaraníes_; Jolís’ _Saggio_ was printed in Faenza in 1789; the _Annus patiens_ of Peramás appeared in a French translation in A. Carayon’s _Documents inédits concernant la Compagnie de Jésus_, vol. XVI; for his _Vidas_ see _De vita el moribus sex sacerdotum Paraguaycorum_, Faventiae, 1791, and _De vida et moribus tredecim virorum Paraguaycorum_, Faventiae, 1793; Muriel’s _Historia_ forms vol.

[174] Lizárraga’s _Descripción y población de las Indias_ is said to have been extensively used by Padre Juan Meléndez in writing _Tesoros verdaderos de las Indias_ (Rome, 1681). Meléndez was a Dominican born in Lima. After holding various offices in his order he was sent on a mission to Spain and left Callao September 2, 1673. He wrote also a chronicle of his order in Peru, and _Descripción de las fiestas hechas por la beatificación de Santa Rosa_. He was the first member of his order, born in Lima, to attain the office of bishop. The _Descripción breve de toda la tierra del Perú, Tucumán, Río de la Plata y Chile_ is printed in _Nueva biblioteca de autores españoles_, XV (_Historiadores de Indias_, II), 485-661. See also Eyzaguirre, _Historia de Chile_, Valparaiso, 1850, I, 454-559.

[177] Medina has considered the question whether Oré went to Florida or remained in Spain, and reached the conclusion that the Franciscan’s commission was fulfilled when his companions had left the port, and that he did not accompany them.—_Lit. col. de Chile_, II, 95, n.

[178] Concerning Oré’s life and family, reference may be made to _Crónica de la religiosísima provincia de los Doce Apóstoles del Perú de la Orden de N.P. San Francisco, compuesta por Fr. Diego de Córdoba Salinas_ (Lima, 1651, see page 421, cap. 3, lib. 1), and two manuscripts: _Cronicón sacro imperial de Chile_, by Fr. Francisco Javier Ramírez, and _Relación de la fundación de la santa Provincia de los Doce Apóstoles del Perú_, by Fr. Diego de Córdoba.

[181] “I was born in Quito in a humble dwelling, my mother not having swaddling clothes in which to wrap me; as my father had gone to Spain, I became a friar, without having the spirit of a friar; I became vain, and although I studied much, I had less knowledge than was attributed to me by others.”

Villaroel’s letter containing this statement was dated at Arequipa August 8, 1654, and is printed in _El suelo de Arequipa convertido en cielo_, by Dr. Ventura Trabada. This work is now available in print in Odriozola’s _Documentos literarios del Perú_, X, 1-324. It contains an account of the foundation of Arequipa, the cathedral, and the monasteries, and describes the lives of the bishops and other noted ecclesiastics, who have lived and laboured in the city. Among less important works, there appeared about the middle of the seventeenth century _Epítome de la vida y muerte del ilustrísimo señor doctor don Bernardino de Almansa ... Arzobispo de Santafé de Bogotá_, by Pedro de Solís y Valenzuela, published in Lima in 1646; _Lengua eucarística del hombre bueno_, by Cristóbal de Torres, issued in Madrid in two folio volumes, containing an exposition of the doctrines of Thomas Aquinas; and various other purely religious works by Torres.

[209] Among the notes made by General Mitre in his copy of this book is found the following remark: “Whoever may be the author, the journey is real and contains data and ‘noticias preciosas’ which can be found only in this work. The traveller was in Montevideo and Buenos Aires in 1749, and gives many details of the condition, customs, and inhabitants of these cities. Critical and humorous anecdotes are scattered throughout the work, and on arriving at Cuzco he inserts four discussions in the form of dialogues between the author and the visitador on the condition of the Indians, of whose character he makes a very sad picture.”
