Foreword to the Calendar, by Carlos Eduardo Castaeda
In the preparation of this Calendar, the compiler and the editor have
striven first of all to acquaint the public with enough of the contents of
the remarkable Gondra Collection of manuscripts to enable the student
or research worker to determine whether he should examine a given
manuscript personally. The listing of the documents by author and title
alone would not have been sufficient for this purpose, particularly since
a large portion of the manuscripts consists of correspondence, the
individual pieces of which bear no formal titles. A description of the
contents, in addition to the usual descriptive data of such materials, is
necessary to make the Calendar a working tool. The description of the
contents in each instance has, therefore, been made as concise and
uniform as possible, without sacrificing clearness and completeness.
The additional bibliographical and analytical information given in
connection with individual items makes no pretense to be exhaustive.
To have made it so would have required a lifetime. An earnest effort
has been made in each instance to be as thorough as possible under
the circumstances. The editor and compiler have spent almost ten
years on and off, in the preparation of this Calendar. It is hoped that use
by competent scholars and students will correct inaccuracies and help
place in the proper perspective many of the items listed. It has been
thought that the need to make such a descriptive list available to
students and research workers without delay outweighs the desire for
perfection, as well as all other considerations.
Entry Names.
Each document is entered under author, unless not ascertainable, in
which case it is entered under title. In the case of long names, these
are given in full the first time, together with titles of offices held by the
writer of the document, unless they are brought out in the title.
Thereafter, the portion of the name most commonly used to designate
the author is employed. Composite names in common use during the
XVI Century are separated into their component parts where obvious:
e.g. Hernandarias de Saavedra is entered as Arias de Saavedra,
Hernando. The general arrangement is chronological. The spelling of

common names has been modernized in accordance with well

established practice. For example, the x has been replaced by j,
sometimes g, rarely s: e.g. Ximnez: Jimnez, Rexe: Rege, Xurez:
Surex. The has been made s before e and i, and z before a, o and u.
Names that appear occasionally and have unusual spellings have
generally been left intact. In listing a series of documents by the same
author, the name appears in full in connection with the first, a long line
replacing it in the subsequent entries of the series: (_____). Royal
orders and decrees of all kinds are listed under the name of the
sovereign authority or king who issued them.
Titles.
The titles of documents are reproduced as accurately as possible
without modernization of spelling. In the case of long titles, non-
essential parts are sometimes omitted, the omission being indicated by
the usual sing: (....). Some documents in the collection have no formal
title, but they bear a made-up title placed by a previous owner on the
first page, more often on the last, frequently in pencil, in the nature of a
topical summary. Some titles of this type, when they seemed to fit the
particular document, have been adopted. In other instances, the
compilers of the Calendar have had to make up an entirely new title, or
adopt a modification of the pencilled summary, or take a phrase or
sentence in the text that seems to characterize the document. In such
instances, brackets have been used to enclose that part of the title
which has been added or devised by the compilers. The practice of
utilizing as titles modified key sentences in the text explains the
archaisms that will at times be observed.
Date and Place.
In all cases where the place and date appear in the manuscript, both
are indicated immediately after the title. Whenever the place and / or
date, or both, form part of the title, given or made up, they are not
repeated. The place of writing is also omitted whenever it is obvious, as
in the case of the correspondence of the Cabildo of Asuncin and other
governmental units whose residence is fixed. If the place of writing is
not given, none is indicated in the Calendar unless there is reason for
making a justifiable asumption, in which case it appears in brackets. In
the case of doubtful reading or uncertain identification, the place is
given followed by a question mark: (?). Likewise, in the case of missing
dates, wherever an assumption has been made on the basis of content,
the approximate year is indicated followed by a question mark: 1587?
Description
A set form has been observed as nearly as possible throughout the
Calendar. After the author, title, place, and date, the number of folios or
leaves is given, followed by l. The length has been indicated by the
number of leaves rather than pages. Next comes the size of the leaves.
Most of the manuscript copies made from AGI documents included in
the collection are on sheets of uniform size 17 23 cm., with writing on
both sides, but generally numbered in folios. After the size, the
Calendar indicates whether a document is part of a larger unit by the
folio number. For example, f. 10-20 means that the document is found

on leaves 10 to 20 of a longer report, expediente, etc. If the document

is a unit in itself, that is separate, this portion of the description is
omitted and only the total number of leaves is indicated: e.g. 8 l.
The physical description is followed by a brief statement on the origin of
the manuscript. Many are modern copies made at the turn of the
century from originals in the Archivo General de Indias. In such cases,
the AGI number is given as it appears on the manuscript copy itself. It
has been impossible to check the accuracy of the given locations of the
originals. In most instances, the location of the originals in other
archival depositories has been copied exactly as it appears in the
manuscript. The term incomplete is self-explanatory.
M G Number.
The MG number, which appears at the end of each entry on the right
hand side in brackets, constitutes the last part of the description. When
the collection reached the University of Texas Library, it was
accompanied by a typed catalog, author unknown, listing the
documents by number, and giving a vague description of all the
manuscripts. In this list, which followed neither a subject nor a
chronological order, typed copies were noted separately from
manuscript copies. The documents themselves were all marked in
pencil on the left edge with the corresponding arbitrary number for
identification. This arrangement has been preserved in the Latin
American Library, except that the typed copies of identical originals
have been placed together with the manuscript copies of the same
documents, vacating some of the numbered folders. This explains the
apparent gaps in the original numeration. In order to find any document
listed in this Calendar, it should be requested by the MG number, not
the index number appearing on the left margin of the entry.
Rearrangement of the collection to correspond to the chronological
sequence of the present Calendar is not feasible because many
documents are physically inseparable; that is, a document listed as a
separate often begins on the same page where another ends.
Analysis.
In a separate paragraph following the formal entry and physical
description of each document, a brief and concise analytical summary
of the contents has been made, except where obviously unnecessary. It
is hoped that this feature will be of particular use to the student or
researcher. Each document has been examined as thoroughly as time
permitted, and an earnest effort has been made to put down the bare
essentials of its contents for the information of the reader. It was
originally contemplated to bring out every proper name and all other
pertinent details that might prove of interest to every user. The
profusion of data precluded such an undertaking. The analysis herein
presented of documents up to the end of the XVII Century is relatively
complete. Thereafter, only the principal names of persons, place, rivers,
and native tribes have been brought out. It has been the constant aim
of the compiler and the editor to make the analysis of items of the XVIII
and XIX Centuries as thorough as possible to serve likewise as the key
to the wealth of information found in this section of the collection. The

reader may rest fairly well assured, therefore, that if a name or topic
does not appear in the analysis of a document in this portion of the
Calendar, or in the title, it is either not mentioned, or the reference is so
slight as to be negligible.
Points to Keep in Mind.
Names and locations that appear in the title are not repeated in the
analytical summary of its contents. No matter how often used in a given
document or how important, the name of any person or place appears
in the analysis only once, for it is presumed that a serious reader will
want to examine the complete manuscript personally if reference is
made to a subject or person in whom he is interested. In most
instances the connection of persons or places to important incidents is
indicated by a phrase, either long or short. If the connection is slight,
the proper name alone is given. Place names, if the reference is
meager, are noted without comment. Distinction between signatories,
witnesses, endorsers, and copyists is not always made. Modernized
spelling for proper names has been used where obvious; in doubtful
cases, the spelling in the manuscript has been retained. Since names
of Indian tribes and nations in South America have not been
standardized, a few exceptions to the contrary, these have been left as
they appear in the manuscript.
Publication Data.
Following the analytical summary, in a separate paragraph, data is
given as to whether the document listed has been published. A large
part of the XVI Century documents in the collection have been printed,
in whole or in part; not so many of those in the succeeding centuries. To
achieve conciseness, a system of abbreviations is used to designate
the work in which the manuscript has been printed. For the
abbreviations used, see the Appendix. Document numbers where used
follow the system of the work in question, and are usually shown in
small capitals.
The printed text of the documents has frequently been found to be not
identical. In nearly every case, spelling differences, due to variant
readings of the manuscript, inconsistent efforts to modernize the
spelling, faulty editing, or the use of different copies, were discovered.
Variations of this sort, except in significant cases, have not been noted.
When the manuscript document in the collection is described as
complete, but the printed text is not, the part or parts published have
usually been indicated. Other remarks have been added when deemed
necessary.
This part of the work is necessarily incomplete. Nearly the whole
summer of 1949 was spent in checking as many of the published
collections of documents and other printed sources as possible. It was
decided that further research of this nature would yield diminishing
returns and delay the publication beyond what is desirable. Some of the
manuscripts related to the problems of boundary disputes are quoted
piece-meal in short passages in a maze of publications of the XIX and
XX Centuries dealing with the subject, but generally taken out of
context. In such cases, if the portion printed is too short or not

representative of the general nature of the document, no mention of

publication of fragments is made.
Appendix.
Here is to be found the key to the abbreviations of printed works cited.
Roles, as complete as possible, of the more important officials of the
area dealt with in the documents of the Gondra Collecction, and the
years during which they held office, whenever ascertainable, have been
added also, such as: Viceroys of Per and of Ro de la Plata;
Governors of Paraguay, Ro de la Plata, and Tucumn; and Bishops of
Paraguay, Salta, and Tucumn. For the Spanish kings and the
presidents of the various nations of South America since
independence, the reader is referred to Webster's Biographical
Dictionary, 1949, pages 690, 693-97.
Conclusion.
The calendaring of the Gondra Collection of manuscripts now in the
University of Texas and its publication were made possible largely
through various research assistance grants of the Institute of Latin-
American Studies of The University of Texas over a period of years,
deep and grateful acknowledgement of which is hereby made. The
compiler is likewise indebted to The University of Texas Research
Council for a fellowship grant in 1940 when work on this project was
started.
The editor wishes to assume full responsibility for all errors of omission
as well as of commission, and to express his appreciation to the
compiler, Dr. Jack Autrey Dabbs, for the long hours of painstaking
dedication to a thankless and profitless but absorbing job well done.
The years of joint labor on this project have been years made pleasant
by the cheerful cooperation given at all times. Under the general
supervision of the editor, Dr. Dabbs compiled and prepared the bulk of
the Calendar, which we gratefully dedicate to the memory of Dr.
Charles Wilson Hackett, deceased chairman of the Institute of Latin-
American Studies, whose warm enthusiasm for things Latin American
was a constant encouragement, and one of whose last acts was to
provide a grant to make possible this publication.
