Francisco Lopez de Gomara was the Secretary of Cortes and the oldest of the proper his- torians of the New World. The works he produced, besides one or two of less consequence, were, first, his “‘ History of the Indies,” which, after the Sapnish fashion, begins with the creation of the world and ends with the glories of Spain, though it is chiefly devoted to Columbus and the discovery and conquest of Peru; and the second, his “Chronicle of New Spain,”’ which is the history and life of Cortes. As the earliest records that were published concerning affairs which already stirred the whole of Christendom, these works had, at once, a great success. [448 ] Historia del Ilustriss. et Valorosiss.
