Garcilaso y Oliva : dos miradas, dos lecturas de la guerra entre incas y chancas

Abstract

This paper comparatively analyzes the works of the Inca Garcilaso de la Vegaand the Jesuit Giovanni Anello Oliva, particularly the version they provide on the war bet-ween the Incas and the Chancas. Traditionally, both writers have been attributed thesame interpretation of this conflict and the coincidence about who was the Inca that ca-rried out this conflict and emerged victorious, ie Viracocha Inca. Therefore, our proposalresides in the careful revision of the commonalities in both works and the analysis ofwhere their stories differ on the transcendental facts for the consolidation of the Tawan-tinsuyu in the central Andes.
