Gonçalo de Illescas (c. 1518–1574), abbot of San Frontes and beneficed of Dueñas, was one of the most influential Castilian historians of the 16th century. His *Historia Pontifical y Católica*, the first part of which was published in Zamora in 1565, quickly became an essential reference work on the papacy and the Hispanic monarchy, being reprinted several times and read both in the Iberian Peninsula and the Americas. The work covers the lives of all the Roman popes from the origins of Christianity, with a recapitulation of the history of Spain from the Visigoths to Philip II. The work was continued by three different authors: the Third and Fourth Parts by Luis de Bavia (c. 1555–1628), a Sevillian cleric and royal chronicler; the Fifth Part by Marcos de Guadalajara y Javier (OC, c. 1560–1631), a Carmelite and chronicler; and the Sixth and final Part by Juan Baños de Velasco y Acevedo (Miranda de Ebro, 1615–1682), a genealogist and general chronicler of Castile, published in Madrid in 1678. The set of six parts constitutes the most complete Iberian ecclesiastical and monarchical history of its time. Parts I and II from Barcelona, 1622; III and IV from 1621; Part V from Madrid, Melchior Sanchez, 1652; and the last part, the first edition from Madrid, Francisco Sanz, 1678. Complete set of all six parts. Very rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate ¶ Palau, 118423ss
