Note 162 — II. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Jean Blaeu, Douzième Volume de la Géographie Blaviane, contenant l'Amérique, etc., Amsterdam, 1667, p. 62. He says Picuries, but it must be Pecos. "Avec un seul bourg, mais grandement peuplé, où il y a un temple somptueux." Vetancurt, Crónica, etc., p. 323. "Tenia á nuestra Señora de los Angeles de Porciúncula un templo magnífico, con seis torres, tres de cada lado, adornado; las paredes tan anchas que en sus concavidades estaban hechas oficinas." There are still, in the church of the plaza of Pecos, three paintings out of that church,—one on buffalo-hide, representing Nra. Sra. de Guadalupe, and two on cloth, with Our Lady of the Angels painted on it. The last two are very good.
