This comprehensive work delves into the exploration, colonization, and cultural evolution of the Philippine archipelago during its early interactions with European nations, tracing developments from the arrival of Spanish explorers to the early 16th century. At the start of this volume, the authors provide an overview of the historical context leading to the documentation of the Philippines, highlighting the Papal Bulls issued by Pope Alexander VI and the Treaty of Tordesillas that defined territorial claims. This section sets the stage for understanding the complex dynamics of colonization, cultural exchanges, and the Catholic missions that aimed to convert the islands' inhabitants. It emphasizes the importance of collecting and presenting historical documents in English, thus making this significant history accessible to scholars and the interested public.
