    The Mercedarian priest Martín de Murúa lived much of his life in Peru. He is best known for writing two illustrated works on the history of the Incas and the Spanish invasion of Peru (Ossio 2008a, 2008b).¹ The first of these works, Murúa (ca. 1590 2004) dates to between 1590 and 1598, a period when Murúa was living in the Peruvian highlands.² The manuscript, titledThe History of the Origin and Royal Genealogy of the Inca Kings of Peru(Historia del origen y genealogía real de los reyes Inças del Peru), is relatively short, but it contains over 100 illustrations.
