Sabin 57224; Field 1011 - "This remnant of the literature of the Incas, was preserved until about 1770, by the quipus, or knotted calendar; when Dr. Valdoz, who had often witnessed the representation of the drama by Indian actors, before the ill fated Inca, Tupac Amura, reduced it to writing. From this copy, written by Cura in pure Quichua, Mr. Markham has translated this English version."
