Sort: Oldest first
-
A South-American historian and prelate; born in Bogota, Colombia, 1624; died in Panama, 1688. Educated by the Jesuits, he was soon noted as far as Rome for his learning, piety, and capacity; his promotion to episcopal rank coming early. A "History of the Kingdom of New Granada" (1688), the result of many years' researches, is an inestimable storehouse, from which every subsequent worker has drawn treasures; the performance remaining incomplete, however, in consequence of the disappearance of the author's manuscript after his death.
