This volume, Historia de Filipinas..., authored by the distinguished Filipino historian and bibliographer Manuel Artigas y Cuerva (1866–1932), was published in Manila in 1916. It was specifically intended as a history textbook for the students of the Instituto Burgos and other private colleges in the Philippines during the American colonial period. The title page highlights Artigas's prestigious career, noting his role as a professor, a recipient of medals for painting, a former Spanish colonial official, and the president of the Philippine Historical-Geographical Association. The book's creation in 1916 underscores a period when Filipino scholars sought to establish their own historical narratives, often based on Spanish-language sources, for the nation's burgeoning educational system, thereby maintaining a link to the country's Spanish colonial past while navigating the new American administration.
