Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyze in depth the life course of Fray Ignacio Muñoz, a seventeenth-century Dominican friar assigned to the Philippines. Particularly relevant is Muñoz’s use of his scientific knowledge, as he tailored it to the needs of the Spanish empire in order to obtain the patronage of Philip IV. Muñoz’s own handwritten documentation and that produced in response by Spanish institutions are the main sources for the study.
