    Gonzalo Romero A. G. PEQUEÑA HISTORIA DE JUAN DE GARAY Y SU TIEMPO Edición electrónica 2009 © Rolando Diez de Medina La Paz - Bolivia INDICE I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX Notas Índice General A mi hijo Diego NOTA PRELIMINAR Me interesó la figura de Juan de Garay por representar a un fundador que, con todas las características de los capitanes conquistadores, realizó la faena de su vida marchando siempre hacia el Sur. Fué uno de aquellos que terminó por trabar la obra de otros osados. Su perfil más notable consiste en haber sido formado en América, especialmente en Charcas. Es, en rigor, un criollo, y, por eso, el primero de ellos en asumir un rol organizador y poblacional. Este breve trabajo muestra, además, en ceñido análisis y relación, las circunstancias del tiempo. Hechos, personajes y ámbito histórico y geográfico en el que transcurre la vida de Garay. No se explicaría su personalidad, alguno de cuyos rasgos anotamos, si no estuviera situado en su época y en medio de acontecimientos e intrépidos actores entre los que estuvo inmerso. El Autor. 1 I Con el objeto de que se pongan en ejecución las Leyes Nuevas, dictadas en Barcelona el año 1542, el rey Carlos I de España y V de Alemania, dispuso, en acuerdo con el Consejo de Indias, enviar a México y al Perú autoridades con plenos poderes. A México se destinó al visitador Francisco Tello de Sandoval y al Perú, como primer virrey, a Blasco Núñez de Vela. Nos interesa el segundo porque en torno a su quehacer está ligada, en su primera parte, la vida de Juan de Garay.

  • The Flag of the City of Buenos Aires: Four Centuries of History
    The Flag of the City of Buenos Aires: Four Centuries of History Francisco Gregoric Abstract Even though the City of Buenos Aires, capital of the Argentine Republic, is more than 400 years old, the flag that represents it has just a 30-year history and was only adopted officially 15 years ago. However, the flag’s central emblem can be traced to the founding of the city in 1580 by the Spanish conqueror Juan de Garay, who gave the city its first coat of arms. But in its early times this emblem was barely used. This symbol at the center of the city’s flag is debated by some people that do not accept it today. They attribute incorrect meanings to it based on contemporary politics. This paper will study the origin of the flag’s coat of arms and its background before and during its creation during late 16th century. Its scarce use in that era and its replacement by a different coat of arms shortly after its creation will be analyzed. Then the paper will describe the rediscovery of this first coat of arms at the end of the 19th century, and its use in several places in the city the following years. After that, the coat of arms became the accepted symbol of the city. The design of the flag will be studied, as well as its vexillographic challenges. All the initiatives to change this flag will be reported alongside the explanations from the people who proposed them.

Barriera De euroPa a América el DeScubrimiento Del mar: conectando puntos del globo Este es el nombre que dio John Parry al gran fenómeno que, según su interpretación, ocurrió en el siglo XVI, cuando por primera vez en la historia de la humanidad, gracias al registro de algunos enormes recorridos marítimos, se documentó que el mar era, en definitiva, uno solo, y que un punto podía conectarse por agua sin abandonarla y sin volver sobre el propio curso.2 Era, en buen romance, una certificación de la redondez de la tierra, pero también la espantosa toma de conciencia de que todo en el mundo es insular y que más que tierra rodeada de algo de agua lo que había finalmente era una gran masa de agua salpicada por manchones de tierra. Sin embargo, muchas de las novedades del siglo XVI se basan en experiencias del siglo anterior que, aunque fueron registradas en Venecia —donde residían los más grandes cartógrafos europeos desde el siglo XIV— no fueron protagonizadas necesa- riamente por venecianos ni por europeos. Otras eran las fuerzas políticas y culturales que controlaban extensiones mayores y más poderosas.

DISCURSO PRELIMINAR A LA FUNDACION DE BUENOS AIRES. FUNDACION DE LA CIUDAD DE BUENOS-AIRES. ADVERTENCIA DEL EDITOR. DISCURSO PRELIMINAR A LA FUNDACION DE BUENOS AIRES. Los pueblos modernos no tienen que buscar su orígen en los poetas y mitólogos: los historiadores son sus genealogistas, y del primer dia de su existencia puede hablarse con tanto acierto como de un acontecimiento contemporáneo. Ya pasaron los tiempos en que para edificar ciudades tenian que bajar los dioses del Olimpo. Estas fábulas, inventadas para lisonjear la vanidad de los pueblos, aumentan el caudal de mentiras que nos han transmitido los antiguos, por mas que se empeñen en acreditarlas los erúditos. Uno de ellos, que floreciò en el reynado de Felipe V, escribió tres tomos para probar que Hércules fundò á Gades, ó Cadiz; siendo solamente dudoso para él si fué el Tebano, el Fenicio ò el Asirio! La fundacion de Buenos Aires no ofrece tantas dificultades, á pesar de no estar bien determinada la fecha de la primera por el Adelantado D. Pedro de Mendoza. El documento mas antiguo que se registra en los libros del Cabildo, es del año de 1594, y corresponde al tiempo de la administracion de Zàrate, que mandò transcribir la acta de la segunda fundacion, por estar tan deteriorado el original que ya no era posible descifrarlo. A mas de esta copia, existe otro documento del tenor siguiente:—"YoMateo Sanchez, Escribano público y de Cabildo de esta ciudad de la Santìsima Trinidad, Puerto de Buenos Aires, doy fé, y verdadero testimonio à los que lo presente vieren, como por el libro y autos de la fundacion de esta ciudad, que se pobló y fundó el año de 1580 años, y 11 dias del mes de Junio de dicho año, se hizo la primera eleccion de Alcalde y Regidores por el General Juan de Garay.

  • Las Encomiendas De Buenos Aires (1580-1617)
    Anuario del Centro de Estudios Históricos “Prof. Carlos S. A. Segreti” Córdoba (Argentina), año 9, n° 9, 2009, pp. 33-47. ISSN 1666-6836 Génesis de una gobernación: las encomiendas de Buenos Aires (1580-1617) Gabriela de las Mercedes Quiroga* Araceli Nieves de Vera de Saporiti** Resumen Al sur del imperio colonial español en América, el área del Río de la Plata se levantaba como el último bastión meridional de las posesiones de los Austrias, primero formando parte de la gobernación del Paraguay y luego como gober- nación de Buenos Aires (1617). Dentro de este ámbito, en la llamada pampa anterior, nos detendremos, a los fines de este estudio, para analizar el encuen- tro que se produjo a partir de 1580 hasta 1617 entre los indios, Juan de Garay y sus huestes de mancebos, las autoridades españolas y los criollos que poblaron el Río de la Plata, a fin de considerar la implementación de la encomienda y sus resultados. Para ello comenzaremos por historiar la llegada de esta institución al litoral rioplatense-atlántico y su relación con la organización del espacio, para avanzar luego al universo porteño de los primeros años de la segunda fundación de Buenos Aires, donde pretendemos identificar a los fundadores de la encomienda porteña y evaluar su resultado al momento en que la ciudad se convierte en sede de la Gobernación del Río de la Plata. Palabras clave: Buenos Aires - segunda fundación - Juan de Garay - indios - encomenderos Abstract At the South of the Spanish Empire, River Plate’s area was the far-off Habsbourg’s bastion.

Luciano Huidobro, en el A rchivo Diocesano, las siguientes notas: -Es grande, pero baja, la cerca del castillo de Villalba de Losa; muy im portante para la historia, por haber nacido en él Juan de Garay, cuando su padre era Alcaide de la fortaleza». En otra, referente a Burgos, agre ga: «Martin de Garay y su mujer, aparecen en la relación parroquial de la Iglesia Mayor o Catedral», y fina/mente: .Isabel Fernández (viuda de Garay) y sus hijos Pedro, Andrés y Casilda, figuran entre los vecinos de la parroquia de San Esteban en el año 1564». Como información complementaria puede citarse, que fué señor de Villalba de Losa y por consiguiente del castillo, D. Fernando Diaz de Haro, primo hermano del rey D. Fernando IV, hijo de D. Diego López de Haro, señor de Viz- caya, y casó con D . Constanza de Portugal. (Salazar, Casa oe Lara. Tomo NI, pág. 187).

  • IMPACTO DE La INVASION HISPANA SOBRE LOS Indrgenas Rioplatenses (1580-1640)
    IMPACTO DE lA INVASION HISPANA SOBRE LOS INDrGENAS RIOPlATENSES (1580-1640) EI presente articulo es una sfntesis de la primera parte de un libro en preparaci6n que estudia la etapa inicial de la ocupaci6n hispana del area rioplatense. En ella, como en el resto de America, la lIegada del invasor afect6 en profundidad todas las manifestaciones de vida existentes en el territorio, sea en el corto 0 en el largo plazo. Los ecosistemas loca- les fueron alterados de manera notable y las poblaciones aborigenes se vieron sometidas a una violenta punci6n demografica, a una crucial modificaci6n de sus estructuras sociales y a una fuerte reconfiguraci6n de sus relaciones territoriales. En las paginas que siguen con- centraremos nuestra atenci6n en el analisis de estos cambios. Una gran cantidad de grupos indigenas fueron sefialados por las fuentes hist6ri- cas como ocupantes de aquel espacio, sin que los "territorios" mencionados puedan ser asignados como de uso exclusivo de ninguno. Por su relaci6n con la ciudad de Buenos Aires, se destacan cinco de esos grupos aborigenes: los guarani, los chana (con diversas combinaciones como chana-timbu 0 chana- mbegua), los mbegua (tal vez parte de los chana), los querandi y los charrua. Junto a ellos, 1 Universidad Nacional de Lujan y Cicio Basico Comlin de la Universidad de Buenos Ai- res. las fuentes describen otros grupos (yaro, minoano, guenoa, bohane, timbu, carcarana, co- ronda, quiloaza, colastine) cuyo contacto con los habitantes de Buenos Aires fue al parecer menos intenso, aunque es probable tambien que algunos de ellos fueran parcialidades de 105 grupos "principales": es el caso de minoanos, bohanes, guenoa y yaro que han sido in- c1uidos dentro de la familia linguistica charrua2• A todos ellos debemos agregar a grupos cuyo habitat los hispanos ubicaban en las sierras de Tandil y que por ello lIamaron serra- nos', Algunas dificultades aparecen a la hora de establecer con c1aridad la distinci6n en- tre todos estos grupos, tema que a desatado interesantes debates entre los investigadores'.
