...In particular, countries hostile to the hegemony of Spain under the Habsburg dynasty launched anti-Spanish campaigns, using the religious intolerance and cruel torture of the Inquisition, and the brutal acts of the Conquistadors in the conquest of the Indies, as pretexts, and created the Black Legend. Among these, Las Casas's Concise Account of the Destruction of the Indies, published in Seville in 1552, was widely used in the Black Legend as a book of Spanish accusations against Spanish people, far from the author's intention.

From Las Casas

…He submitted a report to the king, clarifying the injustice of the conquest and calling for its immediate cessation. This document, which denounced the conquistadors' cruel acts, became the basis for the Concise Report on the Destruction of the Indies, printed in 1552, and was later used by European countries in the Black Legend, which criticized Spain. In 1542, the New Laws (Laws of the Indies) were issued, and he was ordained bishop of Chiapas (now southern Mexico). In 1544, he traveled to the Indies, but faced intense hostility from the conquistadors, colonists, and colonial authorities.

【ラス・カサス】より

…このとき,国王に征服の不当性を明らかにし,その即時中止を訴える報告書を提出。コンキスタドールの非道な行為を弾劾するこの文書は,52年に印刷される《インディアスの破壊についての簡潔な報告》の母体となり,のちヨーロッパ諸国によってスペインを非難する〈黒い伝説〉に利用される。1542年に〈新法〉(インディアス法)が発布され,みずからもチアパス(現,メキシコ南部)の司教に叙階され,44年インディアスへ渡るが,コンキスタドール,植民者や植民地当局の激しい敵意を受け,結局47年,自己の活動の場を宮廷と定め,生涯で7回目の大西洋横断をしてスペインへ帰る。…
