Introduction to the Peruvian Collection
This collection of heterogeneous material, generally relating to the
colonial period of Peru, falls roughly into three groups centering around
commerce and industry, literary activity, and religious and social history.
Several manuscripts in the first group contain information on the mining of
mercury, 1786-1787. Literary materials include the poems of Caviedes in the
seventeenth century script useful for correcting errors in the copies published
by Ricardo Palma; a copy of iconoclastic and mysterious poems by Antonio de
Solís; one cuaderno of the Documentos
históricos collected by Manuel de Odriozola; and three
Documentos literarios from contemporary
publications. Among the Items relating to religion and social history are a
compilation of the papers of Peruvian viceroys and others, 1580-1818; an
expediente concerning witchcraft and idolatry
in Peru; original papers on the modernization of learning which Charles III
attempted to impose upon the empire; copy of the proceso of Mariano Tupac
Amaru; and a booklet, 1794, describing the founding and development of Quito,
Ecuador.
Some of these Items, formerly the property of Manuel de Odriozola, the
Peruvian literary historian who brought together this collection, are listed in
the
Cátalogo de la Biblioteca Peruana Propiedad de Dn.
Francisco Perez de Velasco (Lima, 1918). Rubén Vargas Ugarte, S. J.,
describes some of these manuscripts in
Manuscritos Peruanos en las Bibliotecas de
América (Buenos Aires, 1945, pp. 230-243) which is volume IV of his
Biblioteca Peruana (Lima, 1935- ). John
Tate Lanning, James B. Duke Professor of History, also mentioned these
manuscripts in his article "The Hispanic Collection" published in
Gnomon, Essays for the Dedication of the William
R. Perkins Library (Duke Unlversity, April 15 and 16, 1970).
This guide to the collection is the result of extensive recataloging
in which, for the first time, considerable attention has been given to
analyzing the content of the manuscripts. The descriptions of many of the
manuscripts have been enlarged, and, in some cases, author and title
information has been changed or refined. Many entries have been added to the
card catalog based upon these new descriptions. Copies of these cards have been
included in this guide in order to provide additional means of access to the
contents of the collection.

Papeles que pertenecen a Francisco Xavier Montero Bolaños de los Reyes.
Caracas, 1765-1770. 72 pages.
Petition, auto, and testimonials concerning the
purity of race (limpieza de sangre) of
Francisco Montero Bolaños de los Reyes. Caracas, 1765-1770.
The
purity of race (limpieza de sangre) was documented by
testimonials demonstrating that the person was not a descendant of
Moors, Jews, heretics, or
penitenciados (persons punished by the Inquisition).
This documentation was a prerequisite in
Spain and its colonies in order to be admitted
into a corporation, school or university, to practice a profession, or a trade,
and to get married. A law of
May 16, 1865, abolished this requirement for marriage
and for admission into the public service, and it was definitively abolished by
the 27th article of the
1869 Constitution, and the 15th article of the
1876 Constitution (in force).
This manuscript is an important source for the study of
social or economic discrimination against
racial or ethnic groups in
Spain and its colonies till the end of the
XIX century.

Expediente concerning witchcraft and idolatry in Peru.
Expediente concerning witchcraft and idolatry in Peru.
1700. 188 folios.
This expediente contains two royal
cédulas issued by
Charles III and
Charles IV, kings of
Spain and the
Indies. One cédula was issued on
June 25, 1783, at
Aranjuéz, and the other, on
Oct. 9, 1789, at
San Lorenzo del Real. In both
cédulas, the
Bishop of Trujillo in
Peru, Don Baltasar J. Martinez Compañón, is ordered
not to relent on his work of converting the
Indians into the
Christian faith. This expediente also contains an edict of the Bishop and
correspondence between him and others under his jurisdiction in relation to the
same matter (ff. 1-10). This manuscript is notable because most of its contents
are the original records of a
trial for witchcraft and idolatry conducted
against
Salvador Bautista, Nicolás Bautista, Julián Bautista, Margarita Chuquipul (Salvador's wife),
Petrona Huilca (Nicolás's wife), and
María Paysic. Juán de Roxas, priest and vicar of the
Doctrina of
Atún Luya, was the acting judge and
Blas de la Encidna was the acting notary (ff.
11-188). The trial began on
Feb. 28, 1789, and the last record dated was
July 9, 1790. It took place at the
asiento of
San Juán de Lamúd, but the defendants were
from
San Pedro de Cuemal. Between
March 3 and May 11, 1789, 55 witnesses were examined;
they were relatives and neighbors of the defendants and almost all of them
certified their depositions (ff. 15-120). Confessions were taken from the
defendants (ff. 120-150), and the prosecution and the defense presented their
petitions (ff. 151-156). The sentence was pronounced on
June 3, 1789 (ff. 157-158). The Royal Justice
sentenced
Salvador and Nicolás Bautista and
Maria Paysíc to be whipped through the streets
over a packsaddle, with a coronet on their heads and their backs naked.
Petrona Huilca, Margarita Chuquipul, and
Julián Bautista were sentenced to be
feathered, to wear a coronet on their heads, and to serve as shield-bearers of
the other offenders, their punishment being left to the discretion of the
executioner. While the sentence was publicly performed, all the idols and
instruments used by the defendants in their rites were thrown into a bonfire.
Immediately they were expatriated to the
Province of Caxamarca, confined to a house of
correction in perpetuity, and obliged to do hard work with rations but without
salary for a landowner who would provide them with the necessary prisons until
their death. Their houses were demolished and exorcised, and great crosses were
placed on the lots and on the caves, rocks, and temples they had used for their
rites.
The expediente includes the estimates of the cost of the trial (f.
165), the inventory, valuation, and the sale by public auction of the
properties of
Salvador and Nicolás Bautista (ff. 166-184),
as well as the accounts of the trustees, with credits and debits (ff.
185-188).

cuadernos contain correspondence between the
Viceroy Agustín Jaureaui, the
Bishop of Cuzco, members of the
Túpac Amaru family, and other civilian, military
and religious dignataries, in relation to the
Túpac Amaru Insurrection. The
cuadernos also contain depositions of witnesses
on the trial against

Andrés Mendigure. The expediente contains the claims of
José Antonio Escale, Relator de la Real Sala del Crimen, and
Clemente Castellanos, Escribano of the same court, requesting to be paid
for their work on the trial against
Mariano Túpac Amaru and
Andrés Mendigure. Túpac Amaru and
Mendigure were sentenced to expartiation in
Spain, the first died during the trip, and

Account book of the payments that
D. Pasqual Antonio Monzon made from the funds

imposed by the judges and the courts. These funds were deposited in the
Royal Treasury. Gastos de Justicia were the expenditures incurred by
the different activities of the Administration of Justice and were paid from
the funds of the Penas de Cámara.
This original manuscript includes the names of the persons who

Prontuario de capellanías fundadas en el Perú.
Prontuario de capellanías fundadas en el Perú.
Perú, 1564-1718. Bound,
1821. [19], 283 folios.
This volume contains résumés of capellanías in
Perú examined since
1680, the year in which the
Licenciado Don Francisco de Xauregui was
appointed Visitador de Capellanías. The
capellanía, or
chaplaincy, was capital, the interest of which
was required by
Spanish law for the support of an ecclesiastic
whose duties were to celebrate masses and to perform other pious obligations.
The résumés include information about the nature, purposes, and duties imposed
by the founders of the capellanías, the persons
that possessed them in full right or on an interim basis, and the patrons
responsible for the appointments. The capellanías described in this
prontuario were founded between
1564 (f. 120) and
1683 (f. 211). Notations added to the original résumés
date as late as
1718 (f. 231).
One of the common watermarks on the paper resembles watermarks
illustrated in
Edward Heawood,
Watermarks Mainly of the 17th and 18th Centuries(Hilversum, Holland, 1957), Pl. 114-119.
These watermarks date between 1665 and 1766, and it is reasonable to assume that this paper was manufactured and used during this period.The dates of the capellanías and
the notations about them and the dating of the watermarks all indicate that the
documents bound in this volume date from the
late 17th century and early 18th century.
This volume was ordered to be bound in
1821 by
Presbitero Tomás Florez, Archivero de la Curia Eclesiastica and Colector del Donativo
Eclesiastico Voluntario. This event was apparently provoked by changes
in the
Spanish law that prohibited the foundation of
new capellanías and ordered the incorporation
of their properties to the government treasury during
1820 and
1821. This legislation was cancelled in
1823.

Convenio celebrado entre los generales de los ejércitos
titulados nacional y del gobierno de Chile, Mayo 3, 1814.
Lircay River, near Talca, Chile. Copy,
ca. 1814. 3 pages.
The agreement was reached the
3rd of May, 1814, on the banks of the
Lircay River near the city of
Talca. It was signed by the general in chief
of the national army,
Brigadier Gabino Gainza and the principal
chiefs of the army of the government of
Chile, Generals Bernardo O'Higgins and
Juan Mackenna. In this agreement
Chile offered to send deputies to the
Cortes as its representatives, and as an
integral part of the
Spanish monarchy; to recognize
Ferdinand VII as its monarch, and the Regency
that approved the
Junta of Chile, that will act as interior
government with all its power and faculties.
Chile would have free commerce with the allied
and the neutral nations, especially with
Great Britain. The royalist army would
evacuate Chilean territory, ending the hostilities; and properties confiscated
after
February of 1810 would be restored.
Don José Abascal, Viceroy of Perú, disapproved
the agreement and sent to
Chile another expedition in
July, 1814, that undertook the campaign that ended
with the
Battle of Rancagua, retaining
Chile under Spanish domain till
1824.
The paper on which the agreement is written was made in
Capellades, Catalonia, Spain, by the
Almirall family who produced paper there for a
long period of time. Three examples of their work are illustrated and discussed
in
Oriol Valls I Subirà,
Paper and Watermarks in Catalonia(Amsterdam, 1970), Vol. I, plates 2-3, and Vol. II, p. 238.
All the examples date during 1804-1824, and those of 1807 and 1809 most closely resemble the watermarks on the manuscript. These facts suggest that the paper on which this copy of the agreement is written and the copy itself are reasonably contemporary with the signing of the agreement in 1814. This copy of the agreement differs from the one published in the second volume of Archivo de don Bernardo O'Higgins(Santiago de Chile, 1947), pp. 156-159. Some words are missing, and others are written with misspellings common in South America during that period, for example the signatures of O'Higgins and Mackenna.

This manuscript was written to be delivered into the hands of
José de San Martin, as is stated in its first
page. It is a geographic description of the
Department of Lambayeque, Perú. It includes information on towns,
population, courts, buildings, and describes the political, military, and
ecelesiastieal organizations together with the eeonomie conditions of the
department.
San Martin proclaimed the independence of
Perú on
July 28, 1821, assuming the title of
"Protector"
. He held the protectorship and military
command until
September, 1822, when he resigned and relinguished
power to the new
Peruvian Congress. These facts suggest that
this description was written during the period of the protectorship and is
either an original or a copy contemporary with the years
1821-1822.

n.p. copy,
ca. 1767. [6] folios.
Fr. Manuel Gil was the leader of this
Franciscan missionary expedition to
Manoa in El Dorado territory where the
Indians were revolting during the year
1767. He had a name similar to the eminent
Jesuit mathematician and physicist
Manuel Gervasio Gil (1745-1807), who, according to information from
Enciclopedia Universal Ilustrada(Espasa-Calpe, S.A., Madrid, 1925) Vol. XXVI, p. 34,
was at Río de la Plata and was expelled together with other Jesuits to Italy during 1767. Considering the distance between Lima and Río de la Plata and the fact that one was a Franciscan and the other a Jesuit, it is difficult to believe that it was the same person. The information about the Indians' revolt in Manoa and the difficulties suffered by the members of the missionary expedition, including a list of the missionaries and Christian Indians killed during the revolt make this manuscript copy an important one (see folio [6]).

Siglo XVII. 289 ff.
Juán del Valle y Caviedes was the first
satirical poet in
Perú.
According to the typed memorandum of
F. Pérez de Velasco, dated
Lima, March 26, 1908, that is in the front of this volume,
Ricardo Palma brought out a later edition of
the poetry of
Juán del Valle y Caviedes based on a
manuscript copy from the library of
Cipriano Coronel Zegarra. The manuscript copy,
here in the Peruvian Collection, written at the second half of the
17th century, of the poems of
Caviedes was very useful for correcting errors
in the copies published by
Ricardo Palma. It includes more than sixty
unpublished
sonnets and many other unedited
poems of
Caviedes. Copies of his poems are preceded by
an incomplete poem of an unknown author. The table of contents is incomplete,
but there are two typed copies that include all the titles of the poems in the
manuscript.
According to a bibliographical note of the Peruvian literary
historian
Rubén Vargas Ugarte on page xxi of vol. I of
his collection
Clasicos Peruanos entitled
Obras de Don Juán del Valle y Caviedes(Lima, 1947)
, this is the oldest ant complete manuscript consulted, and he used it as a guide for the compilation of the complete works of the poet. The watermarks on the paper resemble watermarks illustrated in Edward Heawood,Watermarks Mainly of the 17th and 18th Centuries(Hilversum, Holland, 1975), Pl. 114-119
, used on paper manufactured between 1665 and 1766, and it is reasonable to assume, as Pérez de Velasco did in his typed memorandum, that this manuscript was written at the end of the 17th century.Caviedes, known as the
riverbank poet, (el poeta de la ribera), revealed in his poems a
profound rancor against
physicians, but his ingenuous and burlesque
versification was simple and unaffected, without any trace of "
gongorismo," a lofty style of writing commonly
used by poets during that period.

The Concilio Provincial is an
assembly of the
clergy of an
ecclesiastical province gathered to deliberate
upon points of doctrine and discipline of the
Catholic religion. The decisions approved by
these councils are an important source of
canon law in the
Catholic Church. This manuscript of more than
1,000 pages contains 49 opinions handed down by the consultants that
participated in the Concilio Provincial that
took place in
Lima, Perú, during
1772-1773. This was the last Concilio that took place in
Lima under the
Spanish rule. The Archbishopric of
Lima was highly interested in obtaining this
manuscript from the owners of the
Pérez de Velasco collection to whom they made
a very substantial offer. This manuscript is an excellent source of information
for researchers interested in the study of the history of the
Catholic Church in
Spanish America, and of the treatment given to
the Indians by the
Catholic Church during the
colonial period.
The record of proceedings and resolutions of this
Concilio were published by
Rubén Vargas Ugarte in volume II of
Concilios Limenses (1551-1772),Lima, 1952.
The same author published in 1945,Manuscritos Peruanos en las Bibliotecas América in which he describes, in a summary form, the opinions expressed in this manuscript. Also included are the names of the consultants and the subjects treated in the opinions above mentioned. (See pp.237-240).
