This translation now makes available for the first time in English a unique record of the customs and religious practices that prevailed after the Spanish conquest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his book, which was designed as a manual for the rooting out of paganism, De Arriaga sets down plainly and methodically what he found among the Indians--their objects of worship, their priests and sorcerers, their festivals and sacrifices, and their superstitions--and how these things are to be recognized and combated. Moreover, he evinces a steady awareness of the hold of custom and of the plight of the Indians who are torn between the demands of their old life and their new masters. \u003ci\u003eThe Extirpation of Idolatry in Peru\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable source for historians and anthropologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eL.
