Vivar, Jéronimo de.
Biographical notes:
Vivar was born in Burgos, Spain, in 1524 or 1525, and travelled in 1548, perhaps as a sailor, to Chile, where he met Valdivia who had returned from Peru. It is believed that Vivar lived most of his life in Concepción, with a brief sojourn in Santiago in 1558. Vivar may have been a pseudonym for Juan de Cardeña y Criada, secretary to Valdivia; see Gerónimo de Vivar: Crónica y relación copiosa y verdadera de los reinos de Chile 1558 / ed. de Leopoldo Saez-Godoy. Berlin : Colloquium Verlag, 1979, p. v-vi; also Special Collections Info File.
