These particulars are given by the monk Gonzalez, in his Historia de lo acaecido en Paucartambo, a narrative still in MS.; besides which, the materials for the history of the rebellion of Tupac Amaru consist of a large collection of original documents, including narratives, letters, despatches, and edicts, printed in the Coleccion de obras y documentos relativos a la historia antiqua y moderna de las provincias de Rio de la Plata, por Pedro de Angelis (Buenos Ayres, 1836), tom. v. pp. 109-286; the Report of the Cabildo of Cuzco, printed in the Museo Erudito del Cuzco; a large collection of original MSS. which were given to the late Gen. Miller in 1833, by Padre José Xavier de Guzman, of the Franciscan convent in Santiago de Chile; the letter from Tupac Amaru to Areche, and the sentence of death pronounced by Areche, which are printed in the Appendix to the Spanish edition of Gen. Miller's Memoirs; the work of Don Gregorio Funes, Dean of Cordova, published at Buenos Ayres in 1817 (4 vols.); and the diary of Don Sebastian de Segurola, Governor of La Paz, during its siege by the Indians, published in Temple's Travels in Peru, ii. p. 103-78. I also obtained a copy of Areche's reply to Tupac Amaru, from a MS. in the public library at Lima.

Weddell has given an account of the insurrection of Tupac Amaru in his Voyage dans le Nord de Bolivie, chap. xv. p. 263-88. This chapter is a résumé of the collection of original documents in the work of Angelis.
