In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

NOTES A word may be said about the use of references in the present study. Since there is more reliance on direct evidence than on reports. and the method involves synthesizing careers and patterns from discrete bits. substantiating references are very numerous. and despite great care. may occasionally be in error. But the fact that a single reference has no apparent relevance to the matter at hand does not necessarily mean that it is a mistake. Many of the notes yield their full sense only with the assembly of all the individual elements. drawn perhaps from archives on three continents and publications rarer than documents. The full potential of the notes will be realized only by those who can consult all the sources in the course of intensive investigation of related subjects. and while they are designed as the fullest possible substantiation of the text. their greatest usefulness may be as leads for future research. To facilitate such use (and in order to avoid turning the text into an impenetrable forest). in most parts of the study notes are placed only at the ends of paragraphs or short sections. giving the totality of references for that subject matter in one location and in some order.

The regularities of behavior associated with what I have here called a seigneurtal ideal are incontestable. as well as very central to the Spanish social organization of the time. They are also clearly expressions of some intellectual complex circulating in the culture and hence can be considered an -ideal.· If I were writing the book for the first time today. perhaps I would find some other formulation than ·seigneurial.· The complex indeed centers on a single figure or head who under Peruvian conditions was often the driving force in bringing it into existence. But from a certain point ofview. the head is no more essential than the other components. One could fasten rather on the Importance of organizing large quasi-familial establishments . as the Spaniards themselves did in their use of the term ·casa poblada.· which after all is much more salient...
