These are but a very few names from among the Spanish mystic, moral, and ascetic writers, but it would only be a very full history of Spanish religious literature which would deal with Jerónimo Gracian (not to be confounded with Baltasar), with Juan de Jesus Maria, or Eusebio Nieremberg. As the seventeenth century drew on there was continually less thought in Spanish religious literature and more emotion, while that emotion had an increasing tendency to abound in the amatory images of Juan de la Cruz.[60] FOOTNOTES: [47] This and most of the other works mentioned here will be found in the two volumes of _Historiadores de Sucesos Particulares_ in the _Biblioteca de Ribadeneyra_, vols. xxi. and xxviii. [48] The _Historiadores Primitevos de Indias_ fill two volumes--xxii. and xxvi.--in the _Biblioteca de Ribadeneyra_. [49] The standard edition of the _Historia General y Natural de las Indias, islas y tierra firme del Mar Oceano_, is that in four volumes folio, edited by Don Amador de los Rios for the Academy of History in 1851-1855. [50] _Coleccion de Documentos inéditos para la Historia de España_, vols. lxii.-lxvi. [51] The commentaries of the Inca Garcilaso were early translated into English, and have been reprinted by the Hakluyt Society. [52] The works of Mariana are in the _Biblioteca de Ribadeneyra_, vols. xxx. and xxxi.; but it is much more pleasant to read his history in the edition of Ibarra, 1780, 2 vols. folio, beautifully printed. [53] There is not, I think, any modern edition of Sandoval, whose life of Charles V. first appeared in 1604-1606, since the second edition of Antwerp, 1681. It was translated and abridged in 1703 by Captain John Stevens, an indefatigable hack to whom we are indebted for many bad versions of Spanish originals. [54] A very finely printed edition of _The Conquest of Mexico_, unfortunately disfigured by silly plates, was published at Madrid by Sancha in 1783. [55] Part of Gracian is in the _Biblioteca de Ribadeneyra_, vol. lxv. A translation of the _Oráculo Manual_ has been included in _The Golden Treasury_. [56] _El Viage Entretenido de Agustin de Roxas._ Madrid, 1793. [57] For this rather unexpected side to the character of Philip IV., and strange feature of the Spanish life of the time, see _Cartas de las Venerable Madre Sor Maria de Agreda y del Señor Rey Don Felipe IV._ Don Francisco Silvela. Madrid, 1885. [58] For this example of the Inquisition at work see the papers of his case in vols. x. and xi. of the _Documentos inéditos_. [59] My own obligation is mainly to M. Paul Rousselot’s _Mystiques Espagnols_, Paris, 1867, which the Spaniards have found it easier to call insufficient than to displace. [60] All the writers mentioned here will be found in the _Tesoro de Escritores Místicos Españoles_ of Ochoa. Paris, _n.d._ CHAPTER VII. ELIZABETHAN POETRY.
