[59] "In older works are so named [Caragas] the warlike and Christian
inhabitants of the localities subdued by the Spaniards on the east
coast of Mindanao, and, indeed, after their principal city, Caraga. It
has been called, if not a peculiar language, a Visaya dialect, while
now only Visaya (near Manobo and Mandaya) is spoken, and an especial
Caraga nation is no longer known." (Blumentritt's "Native Tribes of
the Philippines," in _Smithsonian Report_, 1899, p. 535.)
[60] The title-pages of La Concepción's fourteen volumes show more or
less difference in their wording. Following is a translation of the
title of vol. iv, a facsimile of which is here presented: "General
history of Philipinas: temporal and spiritual conquests of these
Spanish dominions, their establishment, progress, and decadence;
comprehending the empires, kingdoms, and provinces of islands and
continents with which there has been communication and commerce by
immediate coincidences, with general notices regarding geography,
hydrography, natural history, politics, customs, and religions, in
which so universal a title should be interested. By father Fray Juan de
la Concepcion, discalced Augustinian Recollect, pensioned lecturer,
ex-provincial, synodal examiner of the archbishopric of Manila,
and chronicler of his province of San Nicolas of the Philipinas
islands. Volume IV. With permission of the superiors. At Manila,
in the printing office of the royal and conciliar seminary of San
Carlos; printed by Agustin de la Rosa y Balagtas. Year of 1788."

as under the protection of St. Barbara.
[62] The Armenian church was founded by St. Gregory, who was
consecrated bishop of Armenia in the year 302 A.D. Owing to a
misunderstanding, this church refused to accept the decisions of
the Council of Chalcedon (451 A.D.) regarding certain questions
of heresies, which led to its gradual separation from the Greek
church. In the middle of the fifteenth century arose dissensions,
which resulted in a schism; these were mainly occasioned by Roman
Catholic missionaries who endeavored to proselytize the Armenians to
the doctrine, liturgy, and ceremonies of the Roman church, to which
they gained many adherents. This led to dissensions and persecutions,
which continued until, in the middle of the eighteenth century,
the Armenian patriarch secured the intervention of Peter the Great,
and the protection of the Russian church, under which that of Armenia
has since remained.
