The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898: Volume XXXII, 1640

By Diego Aduarte

In the present volume is concluded the excellent Historia of the Dominican writer Diego Aduarte, begun in VOL. XXX, and continued in XXXI; the period of mission history here covered being 1608-37. Aduarte died in 1636; but the events subsequent to 1634, with a sketch of Aduarte's life, are added by the hand of his editor, Fray Domingo Gon alez.Continuing the life of Fray Luis Gandullo, who was prominent among the founders of the Dominican province, Aduarte narrates the marvelous conversions and even miracles wrought by him, and many of his visions and other wonderful experiences. In 1612, the chapter again elects Fray Miguel de San Jacinto as provincial. The persecutions in Japan become more widespread and severe; various incidents therein are related. Our writer sketches the life of Fray Diego de Soria, the second bishop of Nueva Segovia; and of another early missionary in that province, Francisco Minayo.
