"The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898: Volume 31, 1640" by Diego Aduarte is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The volume focuses on the historical context of the Dominican province in the Philippines, detailing the missionary work, socio-political conditions, and the experiences of early navigators. It likely serves to chronicle the efforts of Catholic missions in shaping the religious and cultural landscape of the Philippines during the early colonial period. The opening of the text sets the stage for a recounting of the Dominican order's activities in the Philippines, specifically from the years 1596 to 1608. It begins with reflections on the death of Bishop Salazar, a significant figure who championed the rights of the native Indians and made notable contributions to their welfare. Through the accounts of missionaries like Diego Aduarte, it highlights the struggles and triumphs faced in their mission to convert the local population, detailing both acts of piety and challenges such as shipwrecks, political machinations, and the complex dynamics between colonizers and indigenous peoples. The narrative promises to weave together personal accounts, communal efforts, and the overarching influence of the Catholic Church in the sociopolitical fabric of the era.
