I texted her back that one of the less known books of Jose Rizal, “Annotations on Antonio Morga’s Sucesos de las Islas Pilipinas” was researched and written there.

The original 1890 edition of Jose Rizal’s annotations of the Spaniard Antonio de Morga’s important 1609 historical work on the Philippines will be auctioned off on June 17.

Jose Rizal, of course, had the same interest, and painstakingly annotated Antonio Morga’s 1609 Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas, correcting what he thought Morga hadn’t quite understood.
