Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. x+142 pages with maps, tables, illustrations, figures, cited references. Quarto (11" x 8 1/2") bound in original wrappers. Translated by Lawrence H Feldman with a Chamiquin in History. First edition. Discovered in Guatemala City Archivo General de Centro America by Nicholas Hellmuth in 1969, the "Historia de la Fundacion del Pueblo de Chamiquin" is a volume of caligraphy bound in leather. It is 12.1 by 8.5 inches and three-quarters of an inch thick. It tells the story of a Dominican friar brought Indians out of the forest and founded the New Town of Chamiquin in the years 1819-23, the manuscript written in the last of these years from notes accumulated by Friar Aguilar during that four year period. It tells how people lived in a small village during the years when Spain's empire was dissolving. The author, a native Guatemalan, began his ministry as the parish priest of Tactic in 1816. Born of Spanish ancestry, he felt that in the political environment of his time, with individuals attacking the Dominican Order and urging its assets be confiscated for the national good, there would be a need to justify the Orders's existence, "good" for him was defined as the promotion of Catholicism and Hispanic attitudes of social organization. In Part II Alonso de Escobar forms an introduction to conditions in the Verapaz shortly before the foundation of Chamiquin. He documents the reappearance of long-distance trade at the end of the eighteenth century. Condition: Light edge wear else a very good copy.
