notes:
Text discusses the encounter between Atahualpa [Atabalipa] and Francisco Pizarro. A monk named Vicente de Valverde confronted Atahualpa with a crucifix and a breviary. When Atahualpa asked how the Spanish knew what the teachings of God were, Valverde said the book spoke of them. The king took the book, turned the pages, said it did not speak of anything, and threw it on the ground. At this point, Pizarro and his men charged into the crowds which panicked and were slaughtered. Atahualpa was thrown from his litter and taken prisoner.
