English:
"Reception of the Manila Galleon by the Chamorro in the Ladrones Islands, ca. 1590"
English Translated Caption from the book "The Boxer Codex: Transcription and Translation of an Illustrated Late Sixteenth-Century Spanish Manuscript Concerning the Geography, History and Ethnography of the Pacific, South-east and East Asia" by George Bryan Souza and Jeffrey Scott Turley, with comments from Professor Charles Ralph Boxer, the manuscript's namesake. The scene depicts early encounters of the Spanish Manila Galleon with the Chamorro inhabitants of the Marianas Islands, called by the Spaniards as "Ladrones" meaning thieves, circa 1590 AD within the Boxer Codex, as its first illustration in the first few pages. It is a foldout (24 in. by 8 in. or 61 cm. by 20 cm.), the only one in the Codex which depicts a trading encounter between a Manila Galleon and "Ladrones" (Chamorro) in outrigger canoes. |
