STATIUS, Achilles, Lusitanus, 44, Another contemporary historian of Charles V. The name of Francisco López de Gómara is principally known on account of his Historia General de las Indias, which was first published in Saragossa in 1552 and at once attained immense popularity at home and abroad. Despite the efforts of the government to suppress it, upwards of 20 editions of the whole or part of this work, including Latin, Italian, French, and English translations appeared in the next eighty years, until the publication in 1632 of Bernal Díaz del Castillo's Verdadera historia de la conquista de Nueva España, full of damaging proofs of the errors and inaccuracies of the work of Gómara, put a term to its extraordinary success, and relegated its author for a century at least, to a somewhat unmerited oblivion. There can be no doubt, however, that the strictures of Diaz del Castillo were fully justified in the case of Gómara's American work. His errors are not to be wondered at, for he had to collect his material from hearsay; there is no evidence that he ever crossed the Atlantic 2. But, fortunately, Gómara's historical reputation does not rest solely upon his Historia Generale las Indias. En 1853 the Real Academia de la Historia published his Choronica de los muy nombrados Omiche y Haradin Barbarrojas from a manuscript in the archives of that learned body. It covers the years 1516 to 1542, and was proba 1. Comprising two parts: 1. Historia de las Indias and 2. Crónica de la conquista de Nueva España. 2. The statements in Michaud's Biographie Universelle and in the Nouvelle Biographie Générale that he passed four years in America, cannot, apparently, be substantiated. 3. In the Memorial Histórico Español, Vol. VI, pp. 327-439. 4. It seems probable that Gómara's Batallas de Mar de nuestros tiempos, cited by Nicolás Antonio (Bibl. Hisp. Nov. I, 437-8) as a separate work, and referred to as such by Gómara himself at the end of chapter 42 of his Conquest of New Spain (Bibl. de Autores Españoles, XXII, 324) is in reality but another name for the Chronicle of the Barbarossas; for no separate manuscript entitled Batallas de Mar has as yet been discovered, and moreover the Chronicle of the Barbarossas contains a passage (Memorial Histórico Español, VI, 363) which tallies exactly with the above-mentioned reference in the Conquest of |
