Note 1 — Three Letters from Governor Dasmarinas to Felipe II
Reading edition
Salazar embarked for Spain in this year of 1592, and after his arrival there obtained from the king various favors, and a considerable gratuity for the adornment of the Manila cathedral. The king determined to relieve Salazar's burdens by erecting new dioceses in the islands, and creating him archbishop. While preparations for this were being made, the aged bishop died at Madrid, Dec 4, 1594. See La Concepción's Hist. de Philipinas, ii, pp. 192–194; also biographical sketch in Cartas de Indias, pp. 837, 838, where are mentioned his writings (one of which was printed).
