ALTAMIRANO, DIEGO FRANCESCO de. - Jesuit, born in Madrid on 25 Oct. 1625, died in Lima on 22 Dec. 1715. Having set out for the missions of Paraguay, he taught theology at Cordoba in Tucumán, then became provincial of Paraguay and was a member of the 13th general congregation of the Order. On his return he was appointed visitor of New Granada and Peru. Several letters and reports by him on the missions and the missionaries of those regions survive, among which the Historia de la provincia Peruana de la Compañía de Jesús is very important, published in part, together with another work of his, by Manuel Vincente Ballivian in 1891.
