oAn innovative and fascinating interpretation of the early Spanish period... His focus on translation and conversion makes his book of great value not only to Philippine historians but also to scholars interested in the role of language in history. This study is a work that deserves to be read and reread carefully.O --Bruce L. Fenner, American Historical Review
