Review: "Volumes complete the publication of the magnificent collection of colored drawings commissioned by Bishop Martâinez Companon during his residence in Trujillo, Peru between 1779-89. A rare pictorial record from the Spanish colonial period originally deposited in Madrid's Royal Library, its reproduction in facsimile now makes it more easily available to scholars and the general public. Material depicted in these volumes consists of fruit trees, palm trees, flowers, and herbal fruits (Vol. 4); medicinal herbs (Vol. 5); birds (Vol. 7); fish, amphibians, and seashells (Vol. 8); and antiquities and archeology of the northern coast of Peru: plans of pre-Inca and Inca remains (mostly from Chimu sites), ceramics, metal work, and textiles (Vol. 9). Even though the quality of the drawings varies, pointing to the intervention of different hands, the entire set is a remarkable and unique encyclopedic visual corpus of far reaching importance for many disciplines beyond art and architectural history"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
