Abstract
La presente tesis elabora un canon, catálogo o diccionario de los cronistas de Indias. Este trabajo es imprescindible tanto para la historia del pensamiento español e hispanoamericano como para el desarrollo de la ciencia histórica en cuanto tal. Tres partes tiene esta tesis: la introducción, el Diccionario de Cronistas de Indias y las conclusiones con dos grandes ejemplos sobre su utilidad. El hilo subterráneo de esta tesis revisa el concepto de historia como ciencia. Esta revisión tiene un carácter multidisciplinario de especial utilidad para la construcción de una filosofía de la historia de América. En la introducción se explica el estado de la cuestión y se analiza la relevancia de este tipo de obra. Repasa la historia de la bibliografía hispana, explica la estructura y el material que se encuentra en el Diccionario de Cronistas de Indias y aclara cómo manejarlo (I). La segunda parte corresponde al Diccionario propiamente dicho y se subdivide en dos partes: la primera está dedicada a los cronistas de la época del descubrimiento, o sea, desde 1492 hasta ca. 1550 (II.4), y la segunda se dedica a los cronistas desde 1550 hasta 1700 (II.5). El amplio listado de los cronistas es ya una muestra de la importancia que tiene como fuente de estudio para el desarrollo del pensamiento español e hispanoamericano actual. Finalmente, en la conclusión (III) encontramos tres pruebas o ejemplos que muestran el valor del DCI para la crítica filosófica de la historiografía contemporánea; el primer ejemplo se refiere a la crítica de las obras historiográficas en torno a Bartolomé de las Casas, el segundo se detiene en la llamada “visión de los vencidos” y la tercera a la revisión ideológica de las crónicas del Perú virreinal.
This PhD work elaborate a Dictionary of the West Indies Chroniclers which also could be called catalog or encyclopedia. This work is of crucial importance for different fields of knowledge, for example, for the history of Spanish and Spanish-American thought as well as for the history in general. This work is divided in three parts: the introduction, the Dictionary of the West Indies Chroniclers and a conclusion which includes two important examples of how the Dictionary may be used. The main idea of this investigation is to revise the very concept of the History as a science. This revision is basic to elaborate a philosophy of the American history. The first part of this PhD work analyze the actual state of historiography about the Indian Chroniclers and explain why this investigation is so important. The main part of the introduction revise the development of Spanish bibliography, also explain how to use the Dictionary of the West Indians Chroniclers, its structure and contents (I). The second part is the Dictionary of the West Indians Chroniclers, which is divided in two parts: the first one contain the chronicles written between 1492 and ca. 1550 (II.4), and second part is composed of the chronicles dated by 1550 till 1700 (II.5). The mere list of the names that we join here is a unique instrument for an investigator or for a person interested in history. The importance of all material that we expose here consist in the possibility that it gives to the investigators to improve the quality of their works without spending long time for bibliographical researches. The Dictionary may be the decisive step to develop Spanish and Spanish-American thought and history. The last part of the PhD is the conclusion (III) that gives us three examples of how the actual history can be influenced by particular interests of the investigators or by political ideologies. The first example is about a well-known chronicler Bartolomé de las Casas, the second example analyze so called the “vision of the defeated” (“visión de los vencidos”) and the last example is the analysis of Peruvian historiography.
