Luis Jerónimo De Oré
Fray Luis Jerónimo de Oré y Rojas ( Huamanga, Perú, 1554 - Concepción, 1630) was a creole Franciscan priest who was born during the early years of the Viceroyalty of Peru. He was the son of the conquistador and encomendero Antonio de Oré Río and of Luisa Díaz Rojas, daughter of Pedro Díaz, ''encomendero'' of Azángaro. Early years The early life of Luis Jerónimo took place between that city and the town of Canaria, a workplace that his father founded, and where he came into contact with speakers of Quechua and Aymara. His years in the Andes overlapped with the Taki Unquy, which began in southern Huamanga, between 1565-1566, and with its eradication, which suggests that he lived in an environment of intense campaigns of evangelism and profound religious feeling throughout the region.

Bishop
A bishop is an ordained member of the clergy who is entrusted with a position of Episcopal polity, authority and oversight in a religious institution. In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance and administration of dioceses. The role or office of the bishop is called episcopacy or the episcopate. Organisationally, several Christian denominations utilise ecclesiastical structures that call for the position of bishops, while other denominations have dispensed with this office, seeing it as a symbol of power. Bishops have also exercised political authority within their dioceses. Traditionally, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles or Saint Paul. The bishops are by doctrine understood as those who possess the full Priest#Christianity, priesthood given by Jesus in Christianity, Jesus Christ, and therefore may ordain other clergy, including other bishops.

Mochica Language
Mochica is an extinct language formerly spoken along the northwest coast of Peru and in an inland village. First documented in 1607, the language was widely spoken in the area during the 17th century and the early 18th century. By the late 19th century, the language was dying out and spoken only by a few people in the village of Etén, in Chiclayo. It died out as a spoken language around 1920, but certain words and phrases continued to be used until the 1960s. A revival movement has appeared in recent times. Classification Mochica is usually considered to be a language isolate, but has also been hypothesized as belonging to a wider Chimuan language family. Stark (1972) proposes a connection with Uru–Chipaya as part of a Maya–Yunga–Chipayan macrofamily hypothesis. Denominations The ''yunga'' form is mentioned in the work of Fernando de la Carrera, "''yunca''" is another form mentioned by varieties of Quechua, "''muchic''" is only mentioned by the Augustinian father ...

Puquina Language
Puquina (or Pukina) is an extinct language once spoken by a native ethnic group in the region surrounding Lake Titicaca (Peru and Bolivia) and in the north of Chile. It is often associated with the culture that built Tiwanaku. Remnants of Puquina can be found in the Quechuan and Spanish languages spoken in the south of Peru, mainly in Arequipa, Moquegua and Tacna, as well as in Bolivia. There also seem to be remnants in the Kallawaya language, which may be a mixed language formed from Quechuan languages and Puquina. (Terrence Kaufman (1990) finds the proposal plausible.) Some theories claim that "Qhapaq Simi", the cryptic language of the nobility of the Inca Empire, was closely related to Puquina, and that ''Runa Simi'' (Quechuan languages) were spoken by commoners. Moulian ''et al.'' (2015) argue that Puquina language influenced Mapuche language of southern Chile long before the rise of the Inca Empire. This areal linguistic influence may have started with a migratory wave ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
