BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DATA


All the documents presented in this volume, except four, are obtained
from the Archivo general de Indias at Sevilla, and are translated from
our transcriptions of the original MSS. They are located as follows:

Peñalosa's two letters: In the patronato "Simancas-Secular; Audiencia
de Filipinas; cartas y expedientes del gobernador de Filipinas vistos
en el Consejo; años 1567 á 1599; est. 67, caj. 6, leg. 6."

Loarca's "Relation:" In "Simancas-Filipinas; descubrimientos,
descriptiones y poblaciones de las Yslas Filipinas; años 1537 á
1565--1° hay 2°; est. 1, caj. 1, leg. 1|23." In the Real Academia
de Historia, Madrid, is a copy of this document, made by Muñoz;
it is somewhat modernized in spelling, capitalization, etc. A copy
of Muñoz's transcription is in Lenox Library. The original MS. is
without date; but internal evidence with Peñalosa's statement in his
letter to the king (_Vol_. IV, p. 315), shows that Loarca wrote his
account of the islands in June, 1582. In the same legajo with this
document is the "Report on offices saleable;" but, as the dates show,
