This volume focuses on the early interactions between European nations and the Philippines, covering various aspects, including political, economic, and religious conditions during the year 1636. The work primarily includes documents and letters that shed light on the governance and ecclesiastical dynamics under Governor Sebastian Hurtado de Corcuera. The opening of this volume presents a preface that outlines its content and significance. It provides a detailed examination of the governance challenges faced by Governor Corcuera, who reorganizes governmental departments and engages in conflicts with the archbishop and the religious orders. The initial documents include petitions from the nuns of St. Clare addressing issues of royal support for their convent amid the political upheaval. The narrative goes on to describe Corcuera's governance, highlighting his administrative actions, conflicts with religious authorities, and the implications of these dynamics on the local populace and church relations, revealing a complex interplay of power and faith during a pivotal time in Philippine history.
