Life

Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala (c. 1535–c. 1616) composed the Nueva Corónica y Buen Gobierno, a long illustrated manuscript addressed to the Spanish king that recounts Andean history, Inca order and colonial abuses. It is a primary published window onto Andean cosmologies and political theology under early colonial pressure. ORDL presents him as a literature card. This page does not sell Andean “shamanic experiences.”

The system

  • Indigenous Andean historiography in a colonial epistolary frame
  • Illustration as argument about cosmos, kingship and abuse
  • ORDL boundary: chronicle literature—no ritual tourism

Key works

  • Nueva Corónica y Buen Gobierno (autograph manuscript; modern editions)
  • Self-portrait and pictorial programme within the Corónica

Where to start

  • Prefer annotated modern editions with Quechua/Spanish apparatus
  • Read alongside Inca Garcilaso and critical Andean historiography

What kind of “buen gobierno” does Guaman Poma demand when he redraws Inca and Christian symbols together?
