Lima fundada by Pedro de Peralta Barnuevo

Pedro de Peralta Barnuevo (1664-1743), a writer of early eighteenth-century viceregal Peru, believed that his epic poem Lima fundada (1732) was his crowning literary achievement. For the first time in more than 280 years, David F. Slade and Jerry W. Williams have edited the entire poem, including all of its original paratexts, introductory compositions, prologue, footnotes, marginal notes and index.
