Inca Garcilaso de la Vega and the Comentarios Reales

The author of the Comentarios Reales de los Incas (first part, 1609) called himself an Inca and a native of Cuzco, wrote from Spain, and set out to correct Spanish historians of Peru on the ground that they had mistranslated the language. He claims the right to spell Quechua correctly in print "pues soy indio"; the same book carries the providential frame of a Catholic subject, and the elder whose testimony it transmits ends by saying the empire was taken by Garcilaso's own father.
