| Summary | "The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898, Volume 37, 1669-1676" by Emma Helen Blair et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the explorations, cultural descriptions, and ecclesiastical missions in the Philippines from the 17th century, highlighting both political and religious conditions during this time. The text serves as a chronicle of the transformations and conflicts within the islands, particularly focusing on the role of Dominican and Augustinian missionaries as well as secular affairs exacerbated by challenges in governance. At the start of this volume, the historical context is established through documentation and accounts from various figures involved in the Philippines, including a detailed account of the arrest of Governor Diego Salcedo by the Inquisition's commissary, Fray José Paternina. The opening portion provides insights into the political turbulence of the time, illustrating tensions between civil authority and the influence of religious orders. A letter penned from a Manila prison by an unnamed officer sheds light on the deteriorating political landscape, while the succeeding chapters explore the missions of the Dominicans and Augustinians and their significant impact on both religious and secular life in the islands during the mid-17th century.
