notes: 
Appointed archbishop of Lima in 1580, Toribio Alfonso Mogrovejo traveled Peru on foot baptizing and confirming the natives, among them Rosa of Lima, Francisco Solano [Solanus], and Martin Porrés. He was canonized in 1726. Mogrovejo was appointed as the archbishop of Lima before he had even been ordained a priest. After receiving papal dispensation he was ordained as a priest in Grenada and recieved episcopal consecration in Seville in 1578. He left for Peru in September 1580. This book shows scenes from his life.
