EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail from the cover of the Fifth Decade of Antonio de Herrera's "General History of the Deeds of the Castilians on the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Sea Known as the West Indies," showcases portraits of Inca Kings Inchi Roca (1230-1260) and Lloque Yupanqui (1260-1290). The Fifth Decade, published between 1601 and 1615, is a significant work in the history of the Americas, providing a detailed account of the early colonial period. Antonio de Herrera, a Spanish historian, wrote this comprehensive work, which is also known as "Décadas" or "Decades." The portraits of Inchi Roca and Lloque Yupanqui are particularly noteworthy, as they depict the second and third rulers of the Inca Empire, who extended the empire's reach into the Titicaca area. The intricately engraved detail showcases the rich cultural exchange between the Spanish and the indigenous peoples of the Americas during the Early Modern Era. The image of Inchi Roca, with his regal attire and crown, symbolizes the power and grandeur of the Inca Empire, while Lloque Yupanqui, with his stern expression and military accouterments, represents the empire's military prowess. This image is part of the vast collection of the Biblioteca del Instituto de Cultura Hispánica in Madrid, Spain, a testament to the rich historical and cultural heritage of the region. The detail not only offers a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the complex and fascinating history of the Americas.
