History Writing and Imperial Identity in Early Modern Spain The Shaping of Empire: History Writing and Imperial Identity in Early Modern Spain By Michael Andrew Gonzales A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Thomas Dandelet, Chair Professor William B. Taylor Professor Ignacio Navarrete Fall 2013 Abstract The Shaping of Empire: History Writing and Imperial Identity in Early Modern Spain by Michael Andrew Gonzales Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Thomas Dandelet, Chair Previous studies on politics and history writing in early modern Europe have focused on how early modern monarchs commissioned official royal histories that served to glorify the crown and its achievements. These works discuss the careers of royal historians and their importance at court, and examine how the early modern crown controlled history writing. In the case of Spain, scholars have argued that Spanish monarchs, particularly Philip II, strictly controlled the production of history writing by censoring texts, destroying and seizing manuscripts, and at times restricting history writing to authorized historians. Modern scholars have largely avoided analyzing the historical studies themselves, and have ignored histories written by non-royal historians. My dissertation broadens the discussion by examining a variety of histories written by royal historians and authors from outside of the court, including clerics, bureaucrats, and military officers, motivated to write histories by their concern over Spain’s recent imperial policies and campaigns. Their discussion of important events in Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Americas uncovers the historical significant of empire as a concept, legacy, and burden during the rise and decline of Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. My analysis of these works explores the uses of history writing as political commentary and as a platform for the expression of national, regional, and imperial identities. The historians covered in this dissertation weigh in on the crown’s past and present policies, and their texts reveal insights into the political culture of early modern Spain. Many of the authors covered in this study glorify the might of the Spanish monarchy and its status as the protector of the Catholic Church, and they celebrate Spain’s wars against Protestants in Europe and the Ottomans in the Mediterranean. Nevertheless, some Spanish historians rejected this imperial triumphalism, contrary to the view commonly expressed in modern scholarship. Non- royal histories of Philip II’s controversial intervention in the French intervention, for example, reveal an important evolution in thinking about Spain’s imperial legacy, demonstrating a shift from glorification of empire characteristic of royal histories penned during Philip II’s reign, to a more sober assessment in the early seventeenth century, that includes recommendations for fewer military interventions abroad in favor of protecting Spain and its empire. This critical slant was also found in colonial Latin American history writing during the reign of Philip III. The famous mestizo historian Garcilaso de la Vega El Inca used his work to criticize colonial 1 policies enacted under Philip II and advocate for reforms in the imperial administration of the New World. My findings alter conventional wisdom about the thrust of history writing in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which has emphasized contemporary historians’ universal praise of Philip II and his campaigns. Moreover, the multiple print runs of these histories, which passed through royal and Inquisitorial censors, reveals that readers took a keen interest in the discussion and suggests wider concern over Spain’s imperial policies. By analyzing royal and non-royal histories, we discover a critical discourse among historians on Spain’s past, present, and future, and find evidence that the crown and the Church permitted a freer expression of political views than previously argued. 2 Contents Acknowledgements ii Introduction iii Chapter 1: History Writing, Spanish Triumphalism, and the French Wars of Religion 1 Chapter 2: History Writing in the Service of the Crown 20 Chapter 3: The Two-Faced King 49 Chapter 4: A New Vision of Empire 72 Chapter 5: Victory in Defeat 89 Chapter 6: History Writing and Imperial Rivalry in the Mediterranean 112 Chapter 7: Peru and the Paths of Empire 143 Conclusion 177 Bibliography 182 i Acknowledgements I owe an immense amount of gratitude to my advisor Thomas Dandelet, who first introduced me to the topic of empire and history writing during my first year of graduate study at the University of California, Berkeley. Without his support, encouragement, and guidance this project would not have been possible. I am also deeply indebted to William Taylor and Ignacio Navarrete, who pushed me to think beyond the field of early modern European history. Fellowships from UC Berkeley and Brown University allowed me to research and write this project. Lastly I would like to thank my family for their constant love and support. I am incredibly grateful for everything my father, mother, grandmother, and brother have done over the years to help me reach this milestone. ii Introduction Since ancient times, scribes, chroniclers, prophets and historians have written texts meant to shape our understanding of the past and to influence politics, society, religion, philosophy, and culture, frequently by celebrating the actions and thinking of rulers. These texts include iconic histories such as those by Herodotus and Tacitus, and the Old and New Testaments which have shaped our understanding of history, culture and religion. The Renaissance brought about a renewed appreciation for Greek and Roman cultural achievement, and the invention of the printing press enhanced the ability of religious reformers, philosophers, monarchs and their spokesmen to convey information and analysis to a wider audience. The Reformation, the discovery of the New World, Christendom’s clash with the Ottomans in the Mediterranean, rivalries among Catholic and Protestant princes, among other things, were urgent issues that were contested on the battlefield as well as in books, pamphlets, and broadsides. During the sixteenth century, Spain was at the center of these developments. The exploitation of New World silver made Spain the richest empire in the world, and gave the Spanish monarchy the resources to defend dynastic interests and to expand its political influence in Europe and beyond. The reign of Philip II (1555-1598) is commonly seen as the highpoint of the Spanish imperial enterprise. During his long rule the Prudent King definitively put an end to French pretensions over Italy, repelled the Ottoman Empire from the western Mediterranean, solidified Spanish control in Italy, and combated Protestantism both inside and outside of his domains. Beyond the confines of Europe Philip II reformed the colonial administration of the Americas and oversaw the expansion of Spanish power into the Philippines. Philip II’s acquisition of the kingdom of Portugal and his far-flung colonial holdings in Asia and Africa in 1580 gave birth to an empire of unprecedented size that stretched across the globe. Nevertheless, signs of the Spanish empire’s vulnerability began to appear in the final decades of Philip II’s reign. The war against the Dutch rebels, which had begun in 1566, had turned into a quagmire with no end in sight by the late sixteenth century. The famous defeat of the Armada in 1588 was a costly and embarrassing loss for the Spanish crown that emboldened the English Queen Elizabeth I to encourage Francis Drake and others to undertake daring attacks against Spain and her colonies. Philip II’s decision to intervene in the longstanding French Wars of Religion to prevent the Protestant Henry of Navarre from inheriting the throne proved to be another expensive and largely fruitless campaign. In spite of the lucre flowing from the Americas the Spanish crown often had great difficulty funding these multiple wars, and on several occasions Philip II was forced to declare bankruptcy to his bankers. Broadly speaking, this project attempts to uncover the various ways that early modern Spanish historians treated Philip II and his monumental imperial enterprise in their texts. The focus will be on histories of the crown’s recent wars written by Spaniards in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. These historians ventured into controversial territory as they covered still smoldering conflicts that did not always end well for the Spanish crown. Their works were political commentaries on the state of the Spanish empire that threw into relief the pressing political, military, and economic issues of the day. The shifting depictions of Philip II found in these works reflected broad issues of empire in the early modern world. An analysis of these histories reveals the connection between politics, history writing, and imperial identity in early modern Spain. In recent years the topic of history writing in the early modern period has generated considerable scholarly interest. For example, Anthony Grafton’s What Was History?:The Art of History in Early Modern Europe, traces the development and evolution of the historical arts. He iii defines the ars historica as a new set of rules for the critical writing and reading of history that emphasized the importance of a

    1 Chapter Three The Genesis of the Black Legend "Todo esto yo lo vide con mis ojos corporates mortales." Bartolomé de las Casas, 1504. "I saw all this with my very own eyes." “ I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.” [Revelation 6:1,2] Or, in Latin as Las Casas may have been accustomed to reading it “Et vidi quod aperuisset agnus unum de septem signaculis et audivi unum de quattuor animalibus dicentem tamquam vocem tonitrui veni. Et vidi et ecce equus albus et qui sedebat super illum habebat arcum et data est ei corona et exivit vincens ut vinceret.” 1Perhaps he also read it in Spanish: “Vi cuando el Cordero abrió uno de los sellos, y oí a uno de los cuatro seres vivientes decir como con voz un trueno: Ven y mira. Y miré, y he aquí un caballo banco; y el que lo montaba tenía un arco; le fue dada una corona, y salió venciendo, y para vencer.” "Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay is the man who gains riches by unjust means." Jeremiah 17:11 Next to climbing aboard a ship for a long journey, there is probably nothing more exciting than getting off that same ship! Especially if after a long voyage, sometimes made terrifying by the perils of the sea.

  • The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*
    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

  • Historians in Recent Histories of Historiography
    The Historical Journal, , (), pp. – © Cambridge University Press doi:./SX REPUBLICANS OF LETTERS, MEMORY POLITICIANS, GLOBAL COLONIALISTS: HISTORIANS IN RECENT HISTORIES OF HISTORIOGRAPHY CASPAR HIRSCHI Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, Zürich ABSTRACT. Writing the history of historiography is a tricky business. There is no unbiased way of doing it, and it can serve different goals that at best complement and at worst contradict each other. The genre can seem both suitable to promote one’s own academic agenda and to reflect upon one’s own ideological constraints, epistemological presumptions, and social aspirations. This article analyses the motivations and methods of recent authors in the field, and it does so principally by focusing on the roles they attribute to historians past and present. To enable comparisons, the article includes works with a national, European and global framework, on early modern and late modern historiography, by intellectual, cultural and post-colonialist historians. A general conclusion will be that while most publications use the genre to pursue academic interests with epistemic arguments, only few try to exploit its potential for critical self-reflexion. As a consequence, they tend to be of limited credibility and originality when it comes to describing historiography’s functions and historians’ roles. This article does not treat their lack of critical commitment as an isolated phenomenon in a historiographical sub-field, but as a symptom of a larger problem within academic scholarship today. There are, however, exceptions to the rule, and this article will also try to work out their particular strengths. In the early days of book reviewing, critics were busy looking for a solution to a problem that the new genre brought with it: how to expose published errors without soiling their authors’ name.

  • Fiscal States, Composite Monarchies and Political Economies. a View from the Spanish Empire (C.1492-C.1650) Bartolomé Yun Casa
    Fiscal states, composite monarchies and political economies. A view from the Spanish empire (c.1492-c.1650) Bartolomé Yun Casalilla Pablo de Olavide University [email protected] [email protected] Paris, February 2016 Paris School of Economics Séminaires d‘Histoire économique (Please do not quote without permission) 1 During the last decades a good number of historians are putting together the three concepts heading the title of this talk. Possibly some of them do it unconsciously (or un-properly, if you like), but that is an excellent reason to reflect on the subject in an explicit way. The relationship between the fiscal state and its political economy is almost automatic. Not because they are the same, but because, from the perspective of studies of the political economy and, more specifically, from the new institutional economics‘ approach, the fiscal skeletons of Old Regime states are crucial components of the institutional system as a whole. The other binomial -- that of the composite monarchy and fiscal state-- seems to be less immediate. This may be the reason why it has fostered (rather nonsense) discussions about authorship. I would like to discuss here some of the different links among this trio, which I think are crucial to understand old regime societies and some quite often forgotten questions. Most of my reasoning, as well as the empirical base for some of my proposals were already in my book Marte contra Minerva, which came out in 2004, and a good deal of it is crucial to a forthcoming volume, whose provisional title is The Iberian World.

Who was Abraham Fabert, and why should an account of him be written in English ? The biography now offered to the public had this natural origin. Many years ago, while travelling for rest and recre- ation, the author picked up at an Edinburgh book-stall a copy of the Vie de Fahert par le Pere Barre, and read it for amusement. Until then he knew no more of Fabert than this—that he was a Marshal of France whose statue he had seen at Metz, that his name figures in the Appendix to Voltaire's Steele de Louis XIV., and that it was mentioned here and there by other historians. The two little brown volumes of the Canon of St. Genevieve, however, disclosed the character of a man, so difteront in many respects from that of the French soldiers of his time, that the author was led to push his inquiries farther and deeper ; and thus he came to admire, and felt constrained to write out his estimate of the adventures, attainments, and high qualities of this Fabert.

Embora a história – entendida como prática de inquirição sobre as grandes e memoráveis obras dos homens calcada numa "atitude crítica com relação ao registro de acontecimentos”,1 cujo propósito central seria o de salvar os feitos humanos do esquecimento –2 tenha não apenas surgido na Grécia do V século como alcançado, com Heródoto e Tucídides, sua maior expressividade no mundo antigo, a discussão acerca da concepção retórica de história predominante na Antiguidade deve dar atenção especial às reflexões de Cícero no livro II do diálogo De Oratore, isto porque os gregos jamais chegaram a definir a história como um gênero retórico-poético. Porém, antes de discutir os preceitos ciceronianos sobre a escrita da história, dedicarei algumas páginas à análise da tensão entre logos e ergon na História da Guerra do Peloponeso de Tucídides, assim como ao exame da concepção de autópsia e do privilégio do testemunho ocular sobre os relatos orais predominantes entre os historiadores gregos, como 1 MOMIGLIANO, Arnaldo.
