Description
-
This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the descendants of the Inca and Andean nobles under Spanish colonial rule in Peru and their importance to a revived Andean society. This image depicts an Andean lord sitting at a table writing on a piece of paper. There is a book, a rosary, and ink for the noble’s quill on the desk. The noble appears to be writing down a grievance being proclaimed by the indigenous person standing to the right of the lord. The letter being written by the noble reads, del terzio de san juan pago 80 pesos pedro n [for the first half of the year 80 pesos were paid by Pedro N]. The author explains that noble lords should be educated in the Spanish and Quechua language in order to draw up written documents like petitions, lawsuits, and questionnaires to be able to defend native subjects.
