[12] Las Casas: _Historia de las Indias. Col. de Docs. Inéd. para
la Historia de España_, lxv, pp. 376-377. This account by Las Casas
apparently has been overlooked by English writers on Magellan. It
is noticed by Peschel, _Geschichte des Zeitalters der Entdeckungen,_
p. 488.
[13] See Guillemard's comparison between the voyages of Columbus and
Magellan in _Life of Magellan_, p. 258.

[16] The description of the Philippines and their inhabitants which we
owe to the Italian Pigafetta who accompanied Magellan is especially
noteworthy not only as the first European account of them, but also
as affording a gauge by which to estimate the changes wrought by the
Spanish conquest and the missions.
[17] See E. G. Bourne: _Essays in Historical Criticism_, pp. 209-211
for an account of the Badajos Junta which attempted to settle the
question of the rights to the Moluccas. The documents are in Navarrete,
iv, pp. 333-370, a somewhat abridged translation of which is presented
in this volume. Sandoval attributes the sale of the Moluccas to
Charles's financial straits. Navarrete, iv, xx. The treaty of sale
is in Navarrete, iv, pp. 389-406.

Islas del Poniente Ruy Gomez de Villalobos_, written by García
Descalante Alvarado. _Coleccion de Docs. Inéd. del Archivo de Indias_
v, p. 127. The name was first given in July or August 1543 to some
of the smaller islands in the group. On page 122, Alvarado writes
"chinos que vienen a Mindanao y à las Philipinas." Montero y Vidal says
that the island first to receive the name was Leyte. _Hist. Gen. de
Filipinas_, i, p. 27, In 1561, Urdaneta uses "las islas Filipinas"
in the ordinary way; see his "Derrotero" prepared for the
expedition. _Col. Docs. Inéd_. vol. i, p. 130 ff.

[24] In September, 1568, a Portuguese squadron despatched by the
Governor of the Moluccas appeared off Cebu to drive the Spaniards out
of the Visayan Islands. The commander satisfied himself with diplomatic
protests. Montero y Vidal: _Hist. Gen. de Filipinas_, i, p. 34.
