[919] “Historia del Descubrimiento y Conquista del Peru,” first printed in 1555, and several times since. It is in Barcia, Tom. III., and was translated into Italian by Ulloa. Çarate was sent out by Charles V. to examine into the state of the revenues of Peru, and brings down his accounts as late as the overthrow of Gonzalo Pizarro. See an excellent notice of Çarate at the end of Mr. Prescott’s last chapter on the Conquest of Peru.
Transcriber’s note
- Obvious printer errors have been silently corrected.
- Original spelling was kept, but variant spellings were made consistent when a predominant usage was found.
- Footnotes have been renumbered and moved to the end of the book.
- Footnotes inside a footnote are not numbered, but marked with “[*]” and placed at the end of the main footnote. They are found at footnotes [23], [142], [154] and [251].
- The anchor placements for footnote [543] ([p. 331]) and footnote [696] ([p. 421]) are conjectured. No anchors were found in the printed original.
- Caesuras in split verses have been marked as “ · ”.
