Abstract

Two Jesuit documents recently discovered in an Italian archive: Exul Immeritus Blas Valera populo Suo (1616) by F. Blas Valera and Historia et Rudimenta Linguae Piruanorum, (end of 16th-1638) by B. Antonio Cumis and F. Anello Oliva are telling us about the quipu writing as for communicating in the ante-litteram “Reduccion” of Paititi (Virreino del Peru). These new sources argue about the Inca writing described in the Comentarios Reales (1609), being adapted to the Spanish Power by Garcilaso de La Vega, and about the authorship of the Nueva Coronica (1615) not beeing Guaman Poma’s but Blas Valera’s, Anello Oliva’s and Gonzalo Ruiz’s in order to have a Native writing to the King of Spain.
