Abstract

The rapid conquest and occupation of Middle and South America by Spanish soldiers and colonists in the 16th century aroused lively European interest in the native populations of the New World. The age of discovery was a time of awakened intellectual curiosity. The revival of classical learning and the assiduous study of the achievements of ancient civilizations had already produced a new attitude of interest in things which lay outside of Europe and the present. The newly discovered native civilizations of America attracted wide attention, and provided fresh fields for investigations and study.
