Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Franciscan Martyrs of 1680: Funeral Oration Over the Twenty-One Franciscan Missionaries Killed by the Pueblo Indians, August 10, 1680 This Sermon is one of the most interesting documents connected with early New Mexican history, as it gives a cotemporary account of the killing of the twenty-one Franciscan missionaries, who lost their lives at the opening of the Pueblo Revolution of 1680, on August 10th. The list which it contains of those Christian martyrs is beyond question exactly correct, as it comes from their brethren of the Order of St. Francis; and the statements of the Sermon set at rest any doubts that existed as to the cause of the uprising, and show that it was principally religious. No copy of this Sermon existed in New Mexico, and none has been obtainable in the City of Mexico for many years; so that it is considered a piece of special good for tune that this copy was found in Santiago de Chile and obtained from there. It is understood that there is only one perfect copy available in South America, and that is valued at one thousand francs. The one acquired had been somewhat injured by mice, though not enough to lessen its practical usefulness, and its price was therefore within the means of the Society. In publishing this edition of this Sermon, in English, the title page is reproduced in full as a specimen of the original typography. The reproduction is necessarily reduced in size, but shows this typography clearly, and the work of the mice in the upper corner. The capitalization, and the spelling of proper names, are preserved: and the Latin sentences printed in italics are those which are similarly distinguished in the Mexican edition. The memorial service was held in the Cathedral of the City of Mexico in the presence of the Viceroy of New Spain and other high officials, March 1, 1681, and the Sermon was published during the same year, with a preliminary address to the King by Francisco de Ayeta, Franciscan Visitador of the Custodia of New Mexico: a certificate of approbation from Bernardo Pardo, the Provincial head of the Society of Jesus in Mexico; and other introductory documents.
