This essay studies the performance and staging of memory in the Comentarios Reales de los Incas by Garcilaso el Inca, from a post-colonial perspective. We also want to analyze Garcilaso�s construction of history based on his individual and collective historical experiences with the goal to establish his authority and erudition and legitimate the Inca Empire as a magnificent civilization comparable to the highest European cultures of Antiquity and Modern times.
