Even so, art historians have paid little attention to their development and their chronology. This paper aims to provide a formal framework to date the archipelago’s altarpieces from the sixteenth through the eighteenth century, highlighting both the European reference points and local artistic customs. After the fieldwork is described, a list of altarpieces located in various churches on the islands has been carried out, organising them both formally and chronologically. As a result, other pieces identified in the future would be easily dated following this pattern.","PeriodicalId":40744,"journal":{"name":"Philippiniana Sacra","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48917731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This information, gathered through non-verbal methods, and not available through other methodologies, contributes to the identification of anonymous publications by supporting or prompting reinvestigation of claims by previous scholars. The information was gathered through a chronological cataloguing of various graphic art elements from each press from the start of letterpress printing in the Philippines to 1825. The elements are categorized into (1) iniciales grabadas or decorative initials, (2) viñetas or printers decorations, (3) orla bordadas or border decorations (4) risos xilográficos or xylographic headers, and (4) laminas or copperplate prints. Organizing these graphic art elements in this manner presents the frequency of use of distinct elements over time. The article provides a timeline of the arrival and use of art movements that influenced decorative graphic art in Manila. Based on the catalogue, a narrative of the use of graphic art elements of the Dominican, Jesuit, and Franciscan press is presented, along with comparisons of elements from known presses to prints from unidentified presses.","PeriodicalId":40744,"journal":{"name":"Philippiniana Sacra","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46106930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article analyzes some outstanding episodes of Jesuit diplomatic activities between the Spanish colonial government and the rulers on the islands of Mindanao and Jolo. In the setting of the Southeast Asian world, Spain found itself in a hostile environment in which the Muslim polities were a permanent factor. Slave raiders from both islands threatened the coastal villages of the Spanish Visayas, while on the other hand, Spanish imperial plans compromised the sovereignty of the sultans. By investigating Jesuit chronicles and additional contemporary sources, this study focuses on the Spanish side of this relation. It will contextualize the role of the Jesuits as ambassadors and, at the same time, as promoters of their own missionary interests. Thereby, it will assess the geostrategic considerations of the Jesuit order and their similarities with and differences from those of the colonial government in Manila. This article argues that in spite of a general overlap of interests, discrepancies existed and increased over the years, eventually effecting the outcome of negotiations.","PeriodicalId":40744,"journal":{"name":"Philippiniana Sacra","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48574120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a contribution to knowledge in this field, particularly water engineering as literature on dams and irrigation systems is scant. This attempts to construct the history and heritage of the Campana Dam in Calamba, Laguna using available archival documents from the Archivo de la Universidad de Santo Tomas (AUST). These documents have to be mined for information that would shed light on this forgotten but equally important aspect of Spanish era infrastructure. The stories that will be culled from the documents are significant particularly on how we view the other structures the Regulars built during that time apart from the usual religious edifices.","PeriodicalId":40744,"journal":{"name":"Philippiniana Sacra","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46008011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
