Biography
Historians make assumptions about the similarity of the style of his work and the basic biographical facts of Jesuit historians Blas Valera or Luis Lopez. But the language of the work ( Spanish ) and handwriting contradict these hypotheses, since Blas Valera practically did not write in Spanish, and as the researchers Sabine Highland and Laura Laurenzic Minelli established, the handwriting is also different. [2]
Work
He wrote such a work on the history of the Incas (their laws and religion ):
- Anonima. DE LAS COSTUMBRES ANTIGUAS DE LOS NATURALES DEL PIRU (Spanish) (" On the ancient customs of the inhabitants of Piroux ", 1595 ?).
