Title page in red and black lettering. Decorative initials. Critical edition of Motolinia's famous letter to Charles V of Spain in which he undertook a virulent attack upon Bishop Bartolomé de las Casas, intending to discredit him completely. He called him "a grievous man, restless, importunate, turbulent, injurious, and prejudicial" and even an apostate in that he had renounced the Bishopric of Chiapas. He furthermore advised the king to have him shut up for safe keeping in a monastery. Indeed, Franciscan Toribio de Benavente Motolinia did not share the opinions of the Dominican Bartolomé de las Casas who saw the conquest and subjugation of the Indians as a crime and against all Christian morality. Motolinia believed that God would protect the Indians once converted and that the missionary work thus was more important than fighting the encomienda system and he remained a defender of the conquest, the encomienda system and the evangelization.
