Produced by Jeroen Hellingman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net/ "The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898—Volume 39 of 55, 1683-1690" by Emma Helen Blair et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a larger collection that chronicles the explorations and descriptions of the Philippine Islands and their peoples, focusing on significant events and conditions from their earliest relations with European nations up to the late 19th century. The text specifically covers the years 1683 to 1690 and delves into the political, economic, and religious landscape of the islands during this period. At the start of this volume, the editors provide a historical introduction that sets the stage for the controversies surrounding Archbishop Pardo and the secular government of the Philippines during the late 17th century. A notable portion features William Dampier's narratives regarding his stay in Mindanao, where he observes the local customs, trade practices, and dynamics between various ethnic groups, including the Mindanayans and their conflicts with European powers. The opening also touches upon the interactions between missionaries, the royal authorities, and the local population, illustrating the complexities of colonial life in the Philippines during this era.
