BERART, Raymundo (1635?-1713). Manifesto por la justificacion de D. Fr. Phelipe Pardo, Arzobispo de la Ciudad de Manila, en las Islas Philipinas, en order a la absolucion, y penitencia del Maestre de Campo D. Juan de Vargas Hurtado, y exhumacion de los cuerpos de dos ministros togados. [Madrid: 1691?]. 4° (283 x 204mm). Title with woodcut border (some stains or browning). 19th-century marbled wrappers (inner hinges renewed, extracted from a larger volume, with early 18th-century inked page numbers at upper corners). Modern morocco-backed box.
RARE PAMPHLET on the controversy initiated by the Jesuits between Phelipe Pardo, Dominican Archbishop of Manila, and the Real Audiencia. Berart, also a Dominican, was a close friend of the Pardo and reprinted these many documents in an impassioned defense of him. In the period 1663-1690, spiritual, temporal and especially commercial matters, were inextricably entangled in the Philippines. When Pardo exposed the commercial dealings of the Jesuits, they responded by concocting charges against him which were brought before the Real Andiencia and resulted in his being excommunicated in 1683. Various dates of printing are given from 1688-1691, with the BL listing it as 1691. This seems the more likely date as Antonio Xaramillo, Procurator General of the Philippines and one of Pardo's chief accusers, published his 'Memorial' on the controversy in 1690 for presentation to the Council of the Indies and Berart's works seems to have been compiled in response to it. A full account is given by A. Arnaud in his Histoire de Dom Philippe Pardo (Paris, 1717). Tavera 270. Retana 208. Medina, Filipinas 380.
