Last page ofa letter of the town council ofJauja, 1534. Copyrighted Material I 1 Plate 4. Signatures of the council of Cuzco, 1545. Note differences between these and the signatures in Pl. 3. In 1534 the Spaniards were still restricting council membership to the well-educated, as in Spain, but by 1545 some illiterate plebeians had been admitted to the councils on the strength of their position as first conquerors; their cruder, blockier signatures stand out among the rest. The Jauja signatures show the contained energy and grace of the first years of the conquest, as against the flamboyant arrogance and rebelliousness of the later period, particularly in the highlands.
