Summary
The Huarochirí Manuscript (c. 1608), writtenin the Andean province of the same name, near Lima, capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru, recounts the mythical origins of the gods (huacas) and heroes that were considered the ancestors of the communities that lived there. Based on accounts obtained from oral traditions, the manuscript was written in Quechua by an anonymous writer, and soon after Francisco de Ávila, the priest from Huarochirí, translated its first chapters to Spanish. Focusing on the Flood episode, one of the stories that combines biblical and Andean mythical elements, this chapter explores thematic transitions between Christian and indigenous belief systems in the 16th century.
