JARAVA, Manuel (bah-tab'-yah), Chilean historian, born
in Santiago in 1621; died in Quito in 1673. He became a Jesuit, and was at first
employed in missionary work, but met with little success, as he often neglected
his duties for study. His superiors at last called him to Quito, where he was
appointed historiographer of the viceroy in 1670. It is supposed that Jarava
would have achieved great reputation as a historian, but his former labors in
the mission had heavily told upon him, and he soon died of consumption. He left
many notes, which were preserved in the College of Quito, and which Humboldt
discovered and used afterward with great benefit, as he acknowledges in his
works. Jarava published "Relatio de Christianitate in
America, et de rebus gestis patrum Societatis Jesu in provincias" (2 vols.,
Quito, 1671); "Historia del Reino de Chile" (3 vols., 1672); "Historia del Reino
de Quito" (2 vols., 1672); and "Crónica del Reino de Quito" (3 vols., 1673).
