Summary "The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898 — Volume 27 of 55" by Emma Helen Blair, James Alexander Robertson, and Edward Gaylord Bourne is a historical account produced in the early 20th century. This volume chronicles the period from 1636 to 1637, focusing on the explorations, commerce, and ecclesiastical affairs within the Philippine Islands, highlighting interactions with European nations and the nuances within local governance as the Spanish established their colonial presence. The book serves as a compilation of documents, letters, and memorials that reveal the political, economic, and religious dynamics of the islands during this time. The opening of the volume sets the stage by outlining the significant topics to be covered, including the commerce of the Philippine Islands and military responses to Moro piracy during the governed period. It introduces important figures such as Governor Sebastían Hurtado de Corcuera, who corresponds with Spain regarding the administration of the islands, tensions with religious orders, and military campaigns aimed at subduing local pirates. The introductory content smoothly transitions into the various documents and letters that will provide a detailed account of events, outlining both the triumphs and challenges faced by the Spaniards in the region as they navigated political complexities and sought to maintain control over trade routes and local populations.
