  dian 
  writer 
  of 
  about 
  the 
  same 
  date 
  and 
  of 
  similar 
  usefulness 
  is 
  Felipe 
  

   Guaman 
  Poma 
  de 
  Ayala 
  (Poma, 
  1936). 
  His 
  monumental 
  work 
  of 
  

   over 
  1,000 
  pages 
  is 
  illustrated 
  with 
  full-page 
  pen 
  and 
  ink 
  drawings 
  

   which 
  provide 
  some 
  of 
  our 
  best 
  illustrations 
  of 
  Inca 
  life. 
  The 
  illus- 
  

   trations 
  are 
  much 
  more 
  reliable 
  than 
  the 
  text, 
  which 
  is 
  even 
  more 
  

   confused 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  Pachacuti. 
  Poma 
  is 
  very 
  unreliable 
  on 
  his- 
  

   tory, 
  better 
  on 
  administration, 
  and 
  perhaps 
  best 
  on 
  religion 
  and 
  daily 
  

   life. 
  

  

  Alonso 
  Ramos 
  Gavilan 
  wrote 
  a 
  history 
  of 
  Copacabana 
  in 
  1621 
  which 
  

   contains 
  important 
  material 
  on 
  Inca 
  history 
  and 
  religion. 
  He 
  is 
  

   verbose 
  but 
  reliable. 
  Juan 
  Anello 
  Oliva 
  wrote 
  a 
  work 
  on 
  Inca 
  history 
  

   in 
  1631 
  which 
  was 
  not 
  published 
  until 
  1895. 
  It 
  is 
  largely 
  based 
  on 
  

   Garcilaso, 
  but 
  contains 
  a 
  little 
  original 
  material, 
  especially 
  legends. 
  

   Antonio 
  de 
  la 
  Calancha, 
  1638, 
  is 
  very 
  important 
  for 
  tribal 
  distribu- 
  

   tions, 
  legends 
  and 
  religious 
  customs 
  of 
  the 
  Coast, 
  ethnography 
  of 
  

   Pacasmayo, 
  and 
  the 
  history 
  of 
  the 
  Inca 
  in 
  the 
  Colonial 
  Period. 
  

  

  Fernando 
  Montesinos, 
  who 
  wrote 
  about 
  1642 
  (Montesinos, 
  1882), 
  

   pretends 
  to 
  give 
  a 
  long 
  list 
  of 
  pre- 
  Inca 
  kings, 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  accepted 
  

   at 
  face 
  value 
  by 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  historians 
  of 
  the 
  Inca. 
  Whatever 
  the 
  

   value 
  of 
  this 
  list 
  may 
  be 
  for 
  the 
  study 
  of 
  Indian 
  legends, 
  it 
  is 
  worthless 
  

   as 
  history, 
  and 
  I 
  am 
  inclined 
  to 
  be 
  suspicious 
  of 
  his 
  incidental 
  re- 
  

   marks 
  on 
  Indian 
  customs. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  century 
  after 
  the 
  Conquest, 
  the 
  Catholic 
  missionaries 
  in 
  

   Peru 
  made 
  a 
  determined 
  effort 
  to 
  stamp 
  out 
  the 
  extensive 
  survivals 
  

   of 
  the 
  ancient 
  religion 
  which 
  lingered 
  very 
  late 
  in 
  the 
  country 
  dis- 
  

   tricts, 
  and 
  we 
  have 
  many 
  useful 
  reports 
  growing 
  out 
  of 
  this 
  campaign. 
  

   Most 
  of 
  them 
  deal 
  with 
  native 
  religion 
  on 
  the 
  Coast 
  and 
  in 
  central 
  

   and 
  northern 
  Peru. 
  (Arriaga, 
  1920; 
  Avila, 
  1939; 
  Religiosos 
  Agus- 
  

   tinos, 
  1865.) 
  

  

  For 
  all 
  areas 
  outside 
  of 
  Cuzco, 
  our 
  best 
  sources 
  are 
  the 
  descriptions 
  

   of 
  individual 
  provinces 
  made 
  at 
  various 
  times 
  for 
  the 
  information 
  

   of 
  the 
  Spanish 
  King, 
  and 
  published 
  in 
  four 
  vloumes 
  by 
  Marcos 
  Jim- 
  

   enez 
  de 
  la 
  Espada 
  under 
  the 
  title 
  of 
  "Relaciones 
  Geograficas 
  de 
  

   Indias" 
  (1881-97). 
  In 
  order 
  to 
  simplify 
  reference, 
  documents 
  in 
  

   this 
  collection 
  are 
  not 
  cited 
  separately, 
  and 
  the 
  abbreviation 
  RGI 
  is 
  

   used 
  to 
  refer 
  to 
  the 
  collection. 
  

  

  In 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  sources 
  listed 
  in 
  this 
  section, 
  a 
  great 
  many 
  docu- 
  

   ments 
  useful 
  for 
  limited 
  aspects 
  of 
  the 
  subject 
  are 
  cited 
  throughout 
  

   the 
  text, 
  and 
  they 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  listed 
  in 
  the 
  general 
  bibliography. 
  

   Where 
  possible, 
  I 
  have 
  cited 
  the 
  chroniclers 
  by 
  book 
  and 
  chapter 
  

   instead 
  of 
  by 
  volume 
  and 
  page, 
  so 
  that 
  readers 
  using 
  different 
  edi- 
  

   tions 
  of 
  the 
  texts 
  can 
  locate 
  the 
  references 
  with 
  equal 
  facility. 
  Where 
  

   a 
  page 
  number 
  is 
  used 
  in 
  a 
  citation 
  it 
  is 
  preceded
