The printing of the text was realised in the Cordoban printers of the widow of Andrés Barrera, but this work took significant time.

Written by the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Captain of his Majesty and dedicated to the Purest Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our lady.

"Historia general del Perú, trata del descubrimiento de él, cómo lo ganaron los Españoles, las guerras civiles que hubo entre Pizarros y Almagros, sobre la partija de la tierra, castigo y levantamiento de tiranos; y otros sucesos particulares que en la Historia se contienen.

The text also includes an attempt to rehabilitate the image of the author's father, the captain Sebastián Garcilaso de la Vega, who had fallen in the eyes of the crown for having served in the group of the rebel Gonzalo Pizarro.

If the first part of the Comentarios Reales aimed at portraying the Incas positively (the maternal ancestors of the author), the second part of the text (or the General History of Perú) contains a justification of Spanish conquest - within which the father of the author, the Spanish captain Sebastián Garcilaso de la Vega, was involved.

In passing, the author defends the involvement of his father in the fights involving conquistadors, refuting thus the chronicler El Palentino, who in one of his works held that the captain Garcilaso had decidedly influenced the outcome of the battle of Huarina, within which the rebels Gonzalo Pizarro and Francisco de Carvajal rerouted the forces loyal to the king who were at the command of Diego Centeno.

[1]"To the indians, mestizos and criollos of the kingdoms and provinces of the great and very rich empire of Peru, the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, your brother, compatriot and countryman, [wishes] health and happiness."

In Spanish - "A los indios, mestizos y criollos de los reinos y provincias del grande y riquísimo Imperio del Perú, el Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, su hermano, compatriota y paisano, salud y felicidad".
