In 1994, the Ateneo de Manila gave Scott (post humously) the Tanglaw ng Lahi Award for a whole life “spent in teaching not only in the classroom but also the outside world by means of the broad reaches of his contacts and communication, and most of all through his hundreds of published scholarly articles and inspirationals which continue to disseminate and teach honest Philippine history to succeeding generations of Filipinos.”Īmong his many publications were four significant books - A critical study of the pre-hispanic source materials for the study of Philippine history (1968, 1969, revised 1994), The discovery of the Igorots: Spanish contacts with the pagans of northern Luzon (1974, 1977), Cracks in the parchment curtain (1982), and Ilocao responses to American aggression (1900-1901 (1986). William Henry Scott (1921-1993) distinguished scholar and leading historian on the Cordilleras and pre-Hispanic Philippines, graduated with a BA in Chinese language and literature from Yale, an MA in Church History from Columbia, and a PhD in history from the University of Santo Tomas. Part 2 surveys the rest of the archipelago from south to north.

Part 1 describes Visayan culture in eight chapters on physical appearance, food and farming, trades and commerce, religion, literature and entertainment, natural science, social organization, and warfare. Rather it seeks to answer the question: What did the Spaniards actually say about the Filipino people when they first met them? It is hoped that the answer to that question will permit Filipino readers today to pay a vicarious visit to the land of their ancestors four centuries ago. Nor does it seek similarities with neighboring cultures in Southeast Asia, though the raw data presented should be of use to scholars who might wish to do so. It does not attempt to reconstruct that society by consideration of present Philippine societies, or of features believed to be common to all Austronesian peoples. From the Introduction: This book presents a sixteenth-century Philippine ethnography based on contemporaneous sources.
