Description
Summary:The number of magistrates among the Guaranis was that indicated by the Leyes de Indias. (Pietro Tacchi Venturi SJ, Opere Storiche del P. Matteo Ricci S.I. Comitato per ler onoranze nazionali con prolegomena [Macerata: Giorgetti, 1911-1913], 2 vols; Letter to Giambattista Roman, Treasurer of the government in the Philippines, Zhaoqing, September 13, 1584, II, p. 45). [...]it was the literati whose main concern was the good governance of the "Republic;" their main role as rulers made them completely different from those in other nations and, according to Ricci: ... if we cannot say that in this kingdom the philosophers are Kings, at least we can certainly claim that Kings are governed by philosophers."
