 The Jesuits selected Father Ignacio Arbieto for their Peruvian missions, but as his account was not accepted, Father Jacinto Barrasa was appointed in his stead.His fame was principally as a preacher, and two volumes of his "Sermones" were published, one at Madrid in 1678, the other at Lima in 1679.In the latter year he finished his voluminous history of the Society of Jesus in Peru, which is still at Lima in private hands, and comprises 1,350 pages of manuscript.
