Juan de Velasco y Pérez Petroche was an 18th-century Ecuadorian Jesuit priest, historian and philosophy and theology professor. He is best known for his book Historia del Reino de Quito en la América Meridional, although he also wrote books in fields other than history.
The book Historia del Reino de Quito en la América Meridional is important in Ecuadorian history because it mentions an alleged pre-Inca kingdom that allegedly existed in what is now Ecuador and is known as Reino de 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].
