          Abstract

          Resumen A través del análisis de relatos de viajes, actas protocolares, correspondencia oficial, informaciones de méritos y servicios y otros documentos, se agregan datos para completar la biografía del portugués Lope Vázquez Pestaña, quien es considerado como el primer comerciante de esclavos del Río de la Plata. Asimismo, se identifica su presencia en la colección de relatos de viajes que publicó Richard Hakluyt, en donde aparece como informante sobre la suerte de distintas expediciones inglesas a la América española. Se trata así, a partir de un caso específico, de contribuir al estudio de la presencia portuguesa en la región del virreinato del Perú a fines del siglo XVI y principios del XVII, y a la identificación de las fuentes que Hakluyt pudo haber utilizado y editado para realizar su colección.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Through the analysis of travel accounts, protocol acts, official correspondence, information on merits and services and other documents, new light is shed to complete the biography of the Portuguese Lope Vázquez Pestaña, who is considered the first slave trader of the Río de la Plata. Likewise, his presence is identified in the travel account collection published by Richard Hakluyt, where he appears as an informant on the fate of different English expeditions to Spanish America. The aim is thus, based on a specific case, to contribute to the study of the Portuguese presence in the region of the viceroyalty of Peru at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries, and to the identification of the sources that Hakluyt could have used and edited to make his collection.

          Black Rebels: The Cimarrons of Sixteenth-Century Panama

          Ruth Pike (2007)
          The strategic location of the Isthmus of Panama within the commercial network of the Spanish Empire and the need to defend it has greatly influenced historical writing on sixteenth-and seventeenth-century Panama. Most studies have emphasized military and economic history and with few exceptions, have shown little interest in other aspects of Panamanian life. An excellent review of the historical literature on colonial Panama can be found in Christopher Ward, Imperial Panama: Commerce and Conflict in Isthmian America, 1550-1800 (Albuquerque, 1993). Despite a continuing emphasis on the usual themes of trade and defense, there is a growing trend to focus on other topics such as population movements and social classes. One of the areas still awaiting further investigation and study is the history of the cimarrons of Panama. The two principal primary sources for the role of the cimarrons are the collections of documents from the Archivo General de Indias in Seville published by Irene Wright and Carol F. Jopling, respectively. Wright's Documents Concerning the English Voyages to the Spanish Main, 1569-1580 (London, 1932) contains the correspondence of Spanish officials on the Isthmus to the king relating to the activities of the English pirates and their alliance with the cimarrons.
