Penalosa's two letters: In the patronato "Simancas-Secular; Audiencia
de Filipinas; cartas y expedientes del gobernador de Filipinas vistos
en el Consejo; anos 1567 a 1599; est. 67, caj. 6, leg. 6."

Loarca's "Relation:" In "Simancas-Filipinas; descubrimientos,
descriptiones y poblaciones de las Yslas Filipinas; anos 1537 a
1565--1 deg. hay 2 deg.; est. 1, caj. 1, leg. 1|23." In the Real Academia
de Historia, Madrid, is a copy of this document, made by Munoz;
it is somewhat modernized in spelling, capitalization, etc. A copy
of Munoz's transcription is in Lenox Library. The original MS. is
without date; but internal evidence with Penalosa's statement in his
letter to the king (_Vol_. IV, p. 315), shows that Loarca wrote his
account of the islands in June, 1582. In the same legajo with this
document is the "Report on offices saleable;" but, as the dates show,
both are misplaced here. They probably belong in the same patronato
as that in which are found the next two documents.

Ribera's letter, and the instrument establishing the Audiencia of
Manila: In a patronato which bears the same title as the preceding one,
but covers the years 1582 to 1606. These two documents are in "est. 1,
caj. 1, leg. 3|25"--the Audiencia decree being also designated as
"1 deg. 1, no. 11."

Salazar's letter of 1582: In "Simancas--Eclesiastico; Audiencia de
Filipinas; cartas y expedientes del arzobispo de Manila, vistos en
el Consejo; anos de 1579 a 1599; est. 68, caj. 1, leg. 1."

Letter of Juan Baptista Roman: In "Simancas-Secular; Audiencia de
Filipinas; cartas y expedientes de los oficiales reales de Filipinas,
vistos en el Consejo; anos 1564 a 1622; est. 67, caj. 6, leg. 29."

The "Instructions for the commissary of the Inquisition" is found
in the Archivo general of Simancas; our translation is made from
a transcription of the original MS. Its pressmark is: "Consejo de
Inquisicion; libro 762, folio 170."

The Salazar "Relation" of 1583 we translate from the text given in
Retana's _Archivo del bibliofilo filipino_ iii, no. 1,

The papal decrees regarding the Dominicans are obtained from Hernaez's
_Coleccion de bulas_, i, pp. 527, 528.
