Extract

The Swedish historian Åke Wedin has published three studies of problems in Inca history.1 In the last of these, El concepto de lo incáico y las fuentes, there is a chapter which the author entitled “La relación entre cuatro crónicas tempranas.”2 In it he compares chronicles by Damián de la Bandera,3 Cristóbal de Castro and Diego de Ortega Morejón,4 Hernando de Santillán5 and the so-called Señores.6 His examination has produced a number of conclusions about the chronology of the various sources and the extent to which they are dependent on each other. Some of these conclusions are quite convincing, others are doubtful. The object here is to examine them more closely.
