Returning from Spain, he arrived at Lima on the 22nd of November, 1604, accompanied by fifty Jesuits, to be distributed among the three provinces. The inspector Páez, with whom Torres had been associated, had been appointed provincial, and Torres was now sent to New Granada to organize the newly created province. On this journey he visited the religious house at Cartagena, which he had founded in returning from Europe, and at Bogotá he created the establishment called Santa Clara. After three years spent in New Granada, visiting various parts of the country, he returned to Lima in 1607, and then went to the region of the south-east to organize the province of Paraguay. This province was made to embrace Chile besides Tucumán and the region about the great rivers that flow into the Río de la Plata, but Chile soon acquired a measure of independence as a vice-province. He continued his labours as provincial until 1618, when he retired to Buenos Aires. Later he was called to Chuquisaca, and died there August 8, 1638. [Sidenote: Torres Bollo’s principal works] Torres’ practical achievements established his reputation during his lifetime, and his writings have contributed to maintain the memory of his distinction in later generations. His principal work was _Comentarios del Perú; breve relación del fruto que se recoge de los indios_, which appeared first in Italian (Rome, 1603) and immediately afterwards in Spanish, Latin, French, and German. He is sometimes referred to as having also written a _Historia del Perú y de los acontecimientos notables acaecidos en los últimos años_, but this is really the same work as the one quoted above. His other writings, though less well known, are important as historical sources. V [Sidenote: Antonio de la Calancha] Among the historians of the first part of the seventeenth century, who wrote on the affairs of Peru, Antonio de la Calancha occupies a place of special prominence. He was born in 1584 in Chuquisaca. His father was Captain Francisco de la Calancha, a Spaniard; his mother was a creole. At the age of fourteen he became a member of the Augustinian order in his native city. About the same time Miguel de Aguirre, the author of _Población de Valdivia_, was born in Chuquisaca, and also adopted the habit of the Augustinians. From the monastery Calancha went to the Augustinian college of San Ildefonso in Lima. Throughout his life the monastery, either in Lima or elsewhere, remained the principal centre of his activity, from which he went out almost daily to preach and to confess nuns. He was prior in Trujillo when that city was ruined by the earthquake of February 14, 1619. Later he held a similar office in Lima. [Sidenote: _Crónica moralizada_]
