91 Appendix Editions of Cristóbal de Molina’s Account of the Fables and Rites of the Incas (Relación de las fábulas y ritos de los incas) The first publication of Molina’s work was an English translation by Clements R. Markham in 1873. Markham based his translation on a copy of the Madrid document that had been sent to him by Pascual de Gayangos. The location of Markham’s copy is not known. After the publication of Markham’s translation, interest in Molina’s report grew, and various researchers had additional copies made (Rowe 1953). These copies are now housed in national libraries in Santiago and Lima, as well as in libraries at Yale University and the University of California at Berkeley (Means 1928: 397–398; Rowe 1953: 84; Urbano 2008b: xxix). The first Spanish version of the manuscript was published in 1913 and was based on a copy sent to Chile (Molina 1913). Additional Spanish versions were published in 1916, 1943, and 1947—all three of which are based on a copy of Molina’s document housed in Lima. More recently, in 1989 and 2008, two versions of Molina’s work have been published using the Madrid document. The later of these provides a paleographic version of the text as well as a standardized version. 1873 “An account of the fables and rites of the Yncas.” In Narratives of the Rites and Laws of the Yncas.
