Abstract

José de Acosta's De procuranda Indorum salute: A Call for Evangelical Reforms in Colonial Peru contextualizes and analyzes the deployment of Catholic missionary forces in the Andes. Its exhaustive approach to the ecclesiastic and political reforms of late-sixteenth-century Peru exposes the philosophical and legal underpinnings of Spain's colonial policies. As this book analyzes José de Acosta's De procuranda Indorum salute, one of the most important treatises of the colonial period, it explores influences and intentions and reveals context and subtext. Comprehensive in its appraisal of Acosta's intellectual achievement, this book is essential for scholars and students of this early period of Christian and European expansion in the Americas. Not only does Gregory J. Shepherd examine Acosta's missionary manual against the controversial backdrop of Las Casas and Sepúlveda, but he also reconstructs the political atmosphere surrounding Toledo's massive and intrusive transformation of Andean life. Most importantly, this text carries out a thorough study of the ideologies - Christian, Jesuit, and European - underlying Acosta's appeal for political, social, and ecclesiastic reform. «In recent years there has been a growing interest in Jesuit history. José de Acosta, the most important missionary theorist in all of Latin American colonial history, is still a relatively unstudied figure in the English-speaking world. Thanks to Gregory Shepherd, we now have at hand a comprehensive study of 'De procuranda Indorum salute', Acosta's principal guide for missionaries in Latin America. Shepherd lays out the historical context for understanding 'De procuranda Indorum salute' and analyzes the key themes and sources that inspired the Jesuit author. Acosta's most important contribution to mission practice was his call for missionaries to treat the Indians as human beings. According to Acosta, the worst enemies of evangelization were the evangelizers themselves: their avarice and greed contradicted their own message. In this sense, Acosta was both a humanist and a realist. Shepherd's study of 'De procuranda Indorum salute' is a guide to understanding not just Acosta but Jesuit spirituality of the period. This exhaustive guide will open up many doors to understanding the intellectual forces which competed for the attention of sixteenth-century missionaries and which drove the entire evangelization process in Latin America.» (Jeffrey Klaiber, S.J., Professor of History, Pontifical Catholic University of Peru)

Abstract

Richard Hakluyt's 12-volume Principal Navigations Voyages Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation, originally published at the end of the sixteenth century, and reissued by the Cambridge Library Collection in the edition of 1903-5, was followed in 1625 by Hakluytus Posthumus or, Purchas his Pilgrimes, now reissued in a 20-volume edition published in 1905-7. When first published in four folio volumes, the work was the largest ever printed in England. An Anglican priest, Samuel Purchas (1577-1626) was a friend of Hakluyt, and based his great work in part on papers not published by Hakluyt before his death. As well as being a wide-ranging survey of world exploration, it is notable as an anti-Catholic polemic, and a justification of British settlement in North America. Volume 15 focuses on the West Indies, Mexico, and 'New Spain', and especially on the narratives of José de Acosta.
