VASQUEZ, Francisco (vas'-kayth), Central American historian, born in Guatemala about 1600; died there about 1660. He entered the Franciscan order and was attached to the missions in Chiapa, where he labored with great success for about twenty-five years, founded several missions, became chronicler of his order, and established the Franciscan province of Nicaragua. He left a valuable manuscript, " Crdnica de la provincia del Santisimo Nombre de Jesus, del orden de San Francisco de Guatemala, y de las misiones en la provincia de Chiapa" (2 vols., Guatemala, 1714 and 1716), in which he recounts the entrance of the Spaniards into Guatemala, narrates the stages of the conquest, and gives valuable information about the foundation of Chiapa, and concerning the missionaries that wrote in the aboriginal languages of Guatemala and Chiapa.
