The History Of The Philippine Islands V1 And V2

The History of the Philippine Islands is a two-volume book written by Antonio de Morga, a Spanish lawyer and historian who served as the Lieutenant Governor of the Philippines from 1595 to 1603. The first volume covers the pre-colonial period of the Philippines, including its early inhabitants, the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors led by Ferdinand Magellan, and the subsequent colonization of the archipelago. The second volume focuses on the Spanish colonial period, including the establishment of Spanish rule, the conversion of the natives to Christianity, and the various political and social changes that occurred during this time. Morga's work is considered an important historical source for the Philippines, as it provides a detailed account of the country's early history and the Spanish colonization. The book also sheds light on the interactions between the Spanish colonizers and the native population, as well as the cultural and religious influences that shaped the Philippines during this time. The History of the Philippine Islands is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the Philippines, as well as those interested in the history of Spanish colonization in Southeast Asia.While Don Luys Dasmarinas was governing, the suspicions and fear of Xapon continued, which, together with the Chinese trouble, kept the people in continual anxiety. The governor sent his cousin, Don Fernando de Castro, with letters and despatches to the viceroy of Canton and to that of Chincheo, where many of the Chinese who had seized the galley and killed Governor Gomez Perez, were thought to be found. Supposing that they had gone there with the galley, the governor requested the Chinese authorities to deliver the culprits for punishment, and to restore the royal standard, artillery, and other things which had been seized.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
