Note 79 — LECTURE V. FALL OF THE INCAS.—PERUVIAN MYTHOLOGY, PRIESTHOOD.
Philip H. (Philip Henry) Wicksteed translation
This hymn was found by Garcilasso (see Lib. ii. cap. xvii., pp. 50, 51, in Rycaut's translation) among the papers of Father Blas Valera, and has been freed by Tschudi from the misprints, &c., that disfigured it in the printed editions of Garcilasso and all subsequent reproductions. See Tschudi, Vol. II. p. 381.
