Abstract:

Anonymous account of the discovery of America, with descriptions of the various provinces of New Spain, the West Indies, the Philippines, the Ladrones, and the Pelew Islands. Covers the period 1492-1767, with special attention to the history of cathedrals and principal churches, the administration of archdioceses and dioceses, and other ecclesiastical matters. Consists largely of reproductions of the pertinent instruments such as papal bulls and briefs, episcopal proclamations, and lists of bishops, archbishops, and viceroys. Entered by Bancroft under "Nueva España, Breve Resúmen del Descubrimiento de la." v.1 (M-M 164) deals primarily with territories under the jurisdiction of the Audiencias of Santo Domingo and Mexico; v.2 (M-M 165) with those under the Audiencias of Mexico, Guadalajara, Guatemala and the Philippines.
