A Missing Preface in Mendoza’s History of the Great Kingdom of China, 1585
Mendoza’s History of the Great Kingdom of China, first published in 1585, used the Augustinian Martín de Rada’s account of his visit to China for a significant part of his book. Although he used Rada’s account almost completely, he omitted the first chapter. That chapter does not reflect well on the Augustinians, as it shows the lengths they were going to in order to get into China. It also shows the role played by one of the leading Sangleys in …
Unofficial advice and official policy: Sir Maurice Oldfield and All Souls College, Oxford, 1978–9
Sir Maurice Oldfield became a Visiting Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, when he retired from being head of MI6. No details have previously been given but recently his report to the college has been unearthed. It provides valuable insights but shows he was not a professional historian. He was looking at the interaction between unofficial advice and official policy, and picked on three key figures from before the Second World War. Comprehensive…
An unexpected excursion: The first account of Spaniards in Ayutthaya (1585)
Although the Portuguese established contact with Thailand soon after their conquest of Melaka in 1511, it was thought that Spaniards did not go there until the disastrous expedition of Diego Belloso in 1596. However, in a little-known manuscript from about 1600 there is an account of an inadvertent visit by a small group of Spaniards in 1585, after they had been blown off course trying to return to Manila from Macao. This includes a description o…
Chinese characters in the Spanish court: The Manila petition of 1598 to Philip II
Most information concerning relations between Spain and China in the context of the early colonial Philippines comes from Spanish sources. In this paper we present a contribution from the Chinese. Soon after the Spaniards started settling Manila, the number of Chinese there started increasing rapidly. Relations between Chinese and Spanish were always fraught and the only protectors the Chinese had were the Dominican priests who ministered to them…
Dionisio Capulong and the elite in early Spanish Manila (c. 1570–1620)
When the Spaniards came to settle Manila in 1571 Dionisio Capulong was a young boy. His father was one of the rulers in the region and all were scions of the Muslim royal family of Brunei. The father astutely complied—to a certain extent—with the colonising Spaniards. His son subsequently pursued an ambivalent career alternately working for and rebelling against the Spanish colonisers. Ultimately he became a landowner in the Spanish mode. This is…
Dominican and J esuit Formal Education in the First Years of S panish M anila ( c . 1571–1621)
In the sixteenth‐century explorations of the Far East, the Dominicans and the Jesuits had different attitudes to the indigenous peoples they encountered, while the peoples of China and the Philippines also had very different cultures. In this article I consider three pairs: Dominicans and Jesuits and their approaches to education, their attitudes to China and the Philippines, and to indigenous and non‐indigenous students in the earliest years of …
Treasures in heaven, and upon earth
Hernando de los Ríos Coronel and the Spanish Philippines in the Golden Age
Whilst much scholarly work has been focused on Spain's American colonies, much less is known about Spanish colonization of the Pacific. As such, this book fills an important gap in our knowledge, directing attention both to Spain's wider imperial ambitions, and the specific situation within the Philippines. By structuring the book around the life of Hernando de los Ríos Coronel, many overlapping and complex threads are drawn out that cast light u…
The Early History of the Boxer Codex
In 1950 this journal published Charles Boxer's description of the Codex that bears his name and is now in the Lilly Library in Bloomington, Indiana. In this article I shed light on a number of questions about the volume that he left unanswered. The plan of the essay is as follows. First, I recapitulate the nature, composition and contents of the Codex, and its associations with Chinese artists. Next, I turn to evidence that the explorer Quíros sa…
