Lector Fray Francisco Palou Guardian of tlie Apostolic College of San Fernando, Mexico, and Disciple of Its Venerable Founder A Work Addressed to the Holy Province of the Regular Observance of Our Holy Father Saint Francis, of the Island of Mallorca. Published at tlie expense of Don Miguel Gonzalez Calderon, Trustee of said Apostolic College. Printed in Mexico, at the Office of Don Felipe de Zuiiiga y Ontiveros, Espiritu Santo Street, in the Year 1787. Introduction to the English Translation By Geokge Wharton James f I f HOUGH Palou's "Life and Apostolic Labors of the Venerable Father *- Fray Junipero Serra" is the first work dealing with the history of Alta California; and though it was originally published in the City of Mexico in 1787, it has never yet been translated for English readers. A few chapters, with snatches here and there from the original, were done into English and issued by the Reverend Father Adam, Vicar General of the Diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles, in the year i8qo, but its inadequacy was an irritant and a source of annoyance. Does it require any lengthened argument to show that such a lack in the literature of the Golden State does not recommend us to the good opinion of outsiders? To have the very first book upon which our knowledge of the history of the state depends inaccessible to all save a few Spanish scholars reveals a lack of state pride and self-respect and a personal indifference that are unbecoming a great state and its progressive people. This would be so even were the character of the "history-maker" one that neither commanded veneration or respect. But when, as in the case of so noble and Godlike a man as Padre Junipero Serra, people of all classes, parties, and religious beliefs acclaim him one of the noblest, purest, most self-sacrificing, devoted, humble. Apostolic and Christlike of men, the careless indifference of the educators, religious leaders and teachers, and scholars of the State borders upon the reprehensible. It seems peculiarly appropriate, therefore, that in this year of our Lord 1913, two hundred years after this His Devoted Servant, Junipero Serra, first saw the light, that a translation of his Life and Labors should be pub- lished. For thirty years I have waited, hoping that some competent pen would undertake the work. Father Zephyrin Englehardt, the Official Historian of the Franciscan Order in California, was the man who most properly should have done it, as his great familiarity both with the Spanish language and with the life of his fellow-Franciscan,— whose memory and Apostolic labors he reveres,— eminently fitted him for the task. But his exhaustive studies and work upon the monumental history of the " Missions and Missionaries of California," Lower as well as Upper, not yet being completed, he was compelled to forego the pleasure. xii INTRODUCTION TO THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION When the following pages were ready for the press, I learned that the Reverend Mestres, pastor of the parish of Monterey, where Father Serra lived, worked and died, had just begun a translation. It was evident that it could not be completed in time to be issued in the bi-centennial year, hence it was decided to proceed with this publication, Father Mestres resolv- ing to devote himself to some other work to perpetuate his predecessor's blessed memory. It should clearly be understood that I am not the translator of the work. It was done by Professor C. Scott Williams, of Los Angeles. It makes no pretense to scholarship, yet its general accuracy may be relied upon. It is free, but takes no liberties with the text, and as I personally supervised the work, I can promise that the spirit of the original is closely followed. To guard against inaccuracies of statement in regard to the Catholic Church, points of doctrine, or matters pertaining to the Franciscan Order, Father Englehardt generously and graciously went over the manuscript, so that faithful sons and daughters of the Church may read it with confidence and satisfaction. In the few notes, placed for convenience in an Appendix, there is no attempt to do more than make all points in the text intelligible. The transla- tions from the Latin are made by a devout son of Ignatius Loyola, now resid- ing in what remains of the Mission of Santa Clara, so often referred to in Patau's narrative. My own devotion and veneration for Padre Serra are well-enough known to render their redeclaration unnecessary, yet I am constrained to affirm that there are few "Lives" that so stir my heart to devotion to God and earnest endeavors to work for the uplift of my needy fellows as does this recital of the simple, unselfish and self-sacrificing Life of Junlpero Serra. God needs thousands more of such men; struggling mankind needs them; Cali- fornia needs them; the world needs them. They are sadly rare. We gaze upon too few of them. If this translation inspires one heart, masculine or feminine, to become another Apostle of Humanity, flinging itself into the needful work of the uplift of the California of to-day with the glorious aban- don, exuberant enthusiasm, unquenchable zeal, and fervent devotion dis- played by Junipero Serra, my own heart will be abundantly satisfied. 1098 N.

  • A Chronology of Spanish Florida 1513 to 1821
    Conquistadores in the Land of Flowers: A Chronology of Spanish Florida 1513 to 1821 Compiled by Paul Eugen Camp Special Collections Department University of South Florida Library Tampa 2001 The First Spanish Period, 1513-1763 To a late sixteenth century Spaniard, “Florida” was a vast land stretching as far north as Chesapeake Bay and west to a point beyond the Mississippi. In the first half of the 1500's, Spain launched a series of expeditions to explore and colonize Florida. Although these expeditions brought back geographic knowledge, they were costly in blood and treasure, and failed to achieve a permanent Spanish settlement. The establishment of St. Augustine in 1565 marked the true beginning of Spain’s Florida colony. The remainder of the century saw the establishment of further settlements and the beginning of the mission system. During the seventeenth century, Spanish Florida prospered moderately, with an extensive system of Franciscan missions stretching from northern Georgia to the Florida panhandle, and large cattle ranchos operating in the Tallahassee and Alachua areas. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, war with England destroyed the missions and ranchos, and with them any hope of Florida becoming more than an isolated military frontier. By the time Spain turned Florida over to the British in 1763, Spanish control was limited to little more than St. Augustine, Pensacola and a few other outposts. 1510 Unrecorded Spanish expeditions searching for indian slaves probably reached the Florida coast as early as 1510, possibly even earlier. In 1565, the Spanish Council of the Indies claimed that Spanish ships had “gone to occupy” Florida ever since 1510.

Hsu ©2011 Jonathan Paul O'Conner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JONATHAN O'CONNER: Diego López de Ayala and the Intellectual Contours of Sixteenth-Century Toledo (Under the direction of Lucia Binotti) This dissertation focuses on one of the protagonists in the political, religious and intellectual life of sixteenth-century Toledo, the largely forgotten Diego López de Ayala (c. 1480-1560). He was a member of one of the era's most influential noble families and a stand-in and envoy of the Archbishop of Toledo, Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, to the court of Ferdinand the Catholic in Spain and that of the future Emperor Charles V in Flanders. Afterwards, he played an influential role in the spread of Italian Renaissance aesthetics in Spain as superintendent of works at the Toledo Cathedral for nearly forty years. He also translated into Spanish the prose sections of two Italian works, the Questioni d'amore of Giovanni Boccaccio's Filocolo (Treze questiones) and the Arcadia of Jacopo Sannazaro. Past scholarship on López de Ayala has often considered minimal his political and literary roles.
