ZARATE, Geronimo, Mexican historian, lived in the 17th century. He entered the Franciscan order in the city of Mexico, and accompanied as chaplain the various expeditions to New Mexico that were sent by the viceroys Luis de Velasco and Count de Monterey.

He wrote "Relación de un Viaje al Nuevo Mexico," dated 1617; "Relación de las Expediciones al Nuevo Mexico, remitida al General del Orden de San Francisco en 1624": and "Relación de todas las cosas que se han visto y sabido en el Nuevo Mexico, asi por mar como por tierra, desde el año 1538 hasta 1626" (13 small volumes).

The manuscripts of all these works were in the Franciscan archives in Mexico, but have been transferred to the National Library. The last-mentioned is specially noteworthy, as it gives an account of all the expeditions that had been sent to the north before the author's time.
