| Summary | "The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898, Volume 36, 1649-1666" by Emma Helen Blair et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume provides a meticulous compilation of documents that detail the political, economic, and religious conditions of the Philippines from 1649 to 1666, focusing particularly on the Jesuit missions and their role in the islands during this tumultuous period. The expected audience would likely include historians, scholars, or anyone interested in the colonial history of the Philippines and its cultural interactions. The opening of this volume sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the ecclesiastical landscape during the mid-17th century. The compilation begins with a description of royal funeral rites celebrated in Manila for the Spanish crown prince, which highlights the pomp and ceremonial importance of the occasion. Following this, the manuscript presents documents related to requests for royal aid for Jesuit missions and detailed accounts from Jesuits discussing the dire conditions in the Philippines, including the need for religious and military support in the face of local revolts and external threats. There is an evident focus on the interplay between the religious orders and colonial authorities, laying a foundation for the complex socio-political dynamics that characterize the period.
