Note 299-1 — Chapter XI

Geronimo de Ore, Symbolo Catholico Indiano, chap, ix., quoted by Ternaux-Compans. De Ore was a native of Peru and held the position of Professor of Theology in Cuzco in the latter half of the sixteenth century. He was a man of great erudition, and there need be no hesitation in accepting this extraordinary prayer as genuine. For his life and writings see Nic. Antonio, Bib. Hisp. Nova, tom. ii. p. 43.
