BORJA Y ARAGON, Francisco (bor'-ha), a descendant
of the kings of Aragon, prince of Esquilache and viceroy of Peru, born in Madrid
in 1582; died there, 26 September 1658. He studied in Spain, and had won a good
literary reputation and discharged high offices in the court of Philip III when
he was appointed viceroy of Peru in 1614.
There he founded several Colleges and made important
changes in the organization of the University of San Marcos. He instituted the
tribunal del consulado, a special court and corporation to regulate commercial
affairs generally, increased the navy and the artillery, and gave a great
impulse to mining in the province of Chucuito. On the death of Philip, Borja
embarked to return to Spain, 31 December 1621.
His best-known works are "Naples recuperada por el Rey
Alfonso," a poem (1651); "Obras en Verso" (Antwerp, 1654); and "Oraciones y
Meditaciones de la Vida de Jesucristo" (Brussels, 1661).
