Summary
Iñigo Abbad y Lasierra (1745-1813) was a Spanish-born Catholic priest who
became secretary to the bishop of Puerto Rico in 1773 and remained on the
island for ten years. Abbad's Historia, originally published in Spain, is
considered the first modern historical work on Puerto Rico. It begins with
the Spanish discovery and conquest of the island and ends in the late
eighteenth century. Chapters twenty through forty are devoted to the study
of the island's climate, economy, population, geography and natural history.
Acosta's edition is an annotated and enlarged version of Abbad's work,
published eighty years after the original. Acosta brought the
Historia up-to-date (1866) and incorporated much new information that had
not been available to Abbad. Acosta added his corrections and
additions to the end of each chapter. As Acosta approached his own
time, he incorporated much new historical information. He also used his
annotations as a vehicle to advocate the abolition of slavery in Puerto Rico
and encourage Spain to reduce Puerto Rican trade barriers.

Summary
This is a classic study
of the early period of
Spanish rule in Puerto Rico, covering the
years 1493-1550. This is a
difficult period to research
because of the dearth of
sources. In this work,
Brau, 1842-1912,
provided the reader with
valuable information on the
impact of Spanish society on
the native peoples of the
island, and he showed
considerable sympathy for
their plight. Brau
introduced each chapter with
a summary, and his
appendixes include copies of
important original documents
(letters, reports) for the
study of the island's
history.

Summary
This is the first important critical analysis of
Puerto Rican historiography by a leading historian of
Puerto Rico. Brau noted the limitations of
earlier historical works on Puerto Rico and
sought to correct the factual errors he found in them. In
writing the work, Brau relied primarily on historical
documents available at the Archivo General de las Indias in
Spain, where he spent three years. The study discusses a
wide diversity of Puerto Rican documents from the
sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, which
Brau uncovered at the Archivo.
