Summary "The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898 — Volume 17 of 55" by Emma Helen Blair, James Alexander Robertson, and Edward Gaylord Bourne is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume documents the period from 1609 to 1616, focusing on the explorations, descriptions of the islands, their peoples, and the Catholic missions established during that time. The text aims to provide insights into the political, economic, and religious conditions of the Philippines during the early interactions with European nations. The beginning of this work introduces the contents of the volume, outlining various documents that cover laws related to navigation and commerce, reports and petitions from Jesuit and Dominican missions, and letters focusing on ecclesiastical affairs. It emphasizes the challenges faced in trade, especially with the Dutch, the advancements made by missions in spreading Christianity, and concerns regarding the treatment of local populations. The editors emphasize the social and economic environment of the islands during the specified period, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the intersecting histories of Spain and the Philippines.
