Note 1628 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
Among them may be mentioned, for instance, such books as Argensola’s Conquista de las islas Malucas, Madrid, 1609, which a hundred years later was made familiar to French and English readers by editions at Amsterdam in 1707, and by being included in Stevens’s Collection of Voyages in 1708, while the German version appeared at Frankfort in 1711 (cf. Carter-Brown, ii. 77; iii. 92, 104, 119, 147); Gotard Arthus’s India Orientalis, Cologne, 1608; Farya y Sousa’s Asia Portuguesa, Lisbon, 1666-1675. The final conquest of the Philippines was not accomplished till 1564, when by order of Philip II., Miguel Lopez de Legaspi led a fleet from Navidad in New Spain. For this and the subsequent history of the island see Antonio de Morga’s Philippine Islands (Mexico, 1609) as translated and annotated for the Hakluyt Society by H. E. J. Stanley, 1868. Cf. Pedro Chirino’s Relacion de las islas Filipinas, Rome, 1604 (Rich, Catalogue of Books (1832), no. 99; Sabin, Dictionary, iv. 12,836).
