Juan de Velasco y Pérez Petroche was an 18th-century Jesuit priest, historian and philosophy and theology professor from the Royal Audience of Quito. He was born in Riobamba. Among the universities where he taught was the Universidad de San Marcos in Lima in the Viceroyalty of Peru. He is best known for his history book Historia del Reino de Quito en la América Meridional, although he also wrote books in fields other than history, such as physics textbooks and poetry anthologies.
The book Historia del Reino de Quito en la América Meridional is important in the history of Ecuador and of the city of Quito because it alleges the existence of a pre-Inca kingdom in what is now Ecuador and which is known as Reino de Quito (Kingdom of Quito). The book is mentioned, discussed and criticized by several historians such as Federico González Suárez, Marcos Jiménez de la Espada, Jacinto Jijón y Caamaño, Alfredo Pareja Diezcanseco, Misael Acosta Solís and Galo Ramón Valarezo.
A picture of Juan de Velasco was in a 1947 60-cent postal stamp of the Ecuadorian postal service [1].
