258 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Bartolom� Ochaita , better known as Fray Bartolom� de Olmedo (born in Olmedo on an imprecise date and died in October 1524) was a Mercedarian friar who accompanied Hern�n Cort�s in the conquest of Mexico. In 1519 he embarked on the expedition of Cortes to conquer what was called New Spain . Fray Bartolom� de Olmedo took care of the evangelization of the natives (at the beginning, with a spirit less tax than that of Cort�s himself), and in particular of La Malinche; celebrated the first Mass in Mexico and Tenochtitlan in Mexico and, as a man of confidence of Cort�s, he participated in his duties in negotiations and diplomatic missions. Thus, Olmedo was part of the commission that went to meet P�nfilo de Narv�ez when he arrived in New Spain sent by the governor of Cuba Diego Vel�zquez to capture Cort�s. Fray Bartolom� de Olmedo indoctrinated Moctezuma the time he was captive of Hern�n Cort�s and sought his conversion, but finally the tlatoani died before being baptized. He was also in charge of baptizing the twenty women who gave the caciques of Tabasco to Hern�n Cort�s, among whom was Malinche , who was Christianized and received the name of Marina. These were the first Christian women in New Spain. Around 1524 Cortes entrusted him with the administration of the Hospital de la Pur�sima Concepci�n and Jes�s Nazareno, known as the Hospital de Jes�s . He died in Mexico that same year, in the month of October. Condition: Foxing to wrappers, some age toning to pages else a very good copy. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers BOOKS006160
