AbstractThis article explores the work of Pedro de Valencia (1555-1620) with the purpose of establishing his philosophical allegiances. On the basis of his only published work, the Academica of 1596, widely circulated and translated into French twice in the eighteenth century, some authors have assumed that he was an Academic skeptic. On the basis of his translations of Dio Chrysostome and Epictetus and other manuscripts in imitation of the literature of retirement of Greek cynicism, others have taken him for a cynic. Placing this work in the context of his other manuscripts on social and economic issues from the price of bread to the burning of witches ; his serious Biblical scholarship and polemics ; and his work as Royal Chronicler in the years 1606-1620, his writings on ancient skepticism and cynicism begin to look like little more than the scholarly exercises of a late humanist. Skepticism and cynicism were rendered harmless as only a part —-and a relatively small part—- of the arsenal of scholarly skills and philosophical sympathies of this knowledgeable and influential early modern scholar.

This study traces the coverage of epidemics among First Nations in textbooks used for Québec's national history curricula in education, in secondary school (Histoire du Québec et du Canada, 1982-2006; Histoire et éducation à la citoyenneté, 2006-2017; Histoire du Québec et du Canada, since 2017), as well as in two indigenous textbooks. I conclude that only the Cree textbook offers a full account of the crucial historical impact of the “virgin soil epidemics”.
