Note XXIV‑31 — Chapter XXIV · NICARAGUA AND COSTA RICA. 1551-1600.

Juarros, Hist. Guat., i. 278, gives 1551 as the date of appointment, and 1553 as the year when he entered on his duties. Gonzalez Dávila, Teatro Ecles., i. 154, endorses Juarros, but assigns no date save that he was transferred in 1574. Calle, Mem. y Not., 129, simply mentions Córdoba as the one who followed Valdivieso, ignoring Vera Cruz and Carrasco. Córdoba's appointment is mentioned, but without date, by Mendieta, Hist. Ecles., 548.
