Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, unmarked and complete - of this very scare history, handsomely leather bound. ~SP01~ [1.5P] History of the intellectual development of Guatemala in the colonial era, customarily dated from 1524 to 1821. During that time, Guatemala was the most populous and most prosperous of the provinces that made up the kingdom, or audiencia, of Guatemala, a district that stretched from Chiapas in the west to Costa Rica in the east. The largest single element in the colonial population consisted of native Mayas, but transatlantic contact added other important groups to the mix, among them Spaniards, ladinos (as mestizos are called in Guatemala), and Afro-descendants. The author of this intellectual history of Guatemala, Ramon A. Salazar (1852-1914), was a Guatemalan politician, diplomat, writer and doctor. Salazar participated in the Liberal Reform of 1871 and in the governments of generals Justo Rufino Barrios and Jose Maria Reina Barrios. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers SP01-0442-14376
