Abstract
The Crónica del Perú (books I and II) by Pedro Cieza de Léon (1553) is one of the most systematic and objective descriptions of the Spanish conquest of America. It is also one of the best written. The book was first translated into English by captain John Stevens in 1709, then by Sir Clements R. Markham in 1864 for the Hayklut Society, and finally by Harriet de Onís in 1959. However, none of these translations does justice to Cieza’s magnificient work.
