"The Philippine Islands, 1493–1898—Volume 34 of 55, 1519-1522; 1280-1605," edited by Emma Helen Blair and James Alexander Robertson, is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This volume addresses the explorations of early navigators in the Philippines, presenting descriptions of the islands, their peoples, and the establishment of Catholic missions, while detailing the political, economic, and religious circumstances from the time of European contact to the end of the 19th century. It highlights significant figures and events, including the voyages of Antonio Pigafetta and the early interactions between Spaniards and the indigenous population. The opening of this volume includes a preface that outlines the contents and significance of the narrative. It begins with the conclusion of Pigafetta’s personal account of the first circumnavigation of the globe, detailing encounters with various rulers and the Portuguese efforts in the region. Following this, it introduces a brief description of the Philippines by the Chinese geographer Chao Ju-kua, which is noted for being an early record of the archipelago before European discovery. The preface sets the stage by summarizing the complex relationships between Spanish explorers, indigenous populations, and rivals like the Portuguese, providing context for the documents that follow, which include letters and reports discussing early Spanish governance, commerce, and missionary activities in the islands.
