Beschreibung

6 leaves. Folio. Dbd. Tax stamps dated 1736 on first and last leaves. Contemporary manuscript annotation on first leaf. Manuscript inscription on final printed page (see below). Light dampstaining in top margin. Very good. A rare printed decree by Philip V, King of Spain, regarding the collection of fines and taxes related to the transfer of lands in Peru and New Spain. Dated Nov. 24, 1735, the decree includes a printed form, with spaces left blank for the names of officials to be appointed by a judicial commission concerned with the collection of money for fines and other punishments. The future appointees would be responsible for collecting taxes for the Crown. This document also includes historical background related to these concerns, reprinting a decree originally issued on Oct. 30, 1692 which also dealt with land titles, attempts to clarify land ownership, and the recovery of funds from the sale of lands that had belonged to the Crown. This earlier document includes references to appropriate sections in the RECOPILACION DE LAS INDIAS, first published in 1681. This publication concludes with a note stating that at the first opportunity Spanish ships sailing to the New World should deliver this governmental order. Below the printed text on the final printed page is a manuscript inscription, written in Madrid on Oct. 21, 1737 and signed by Miguel Gutierrez, noting [here in English translation]: "the cedula inserted in this imprint is a copy of that issued by the Secretary of the Council and the Chamber of the Indies concerned with trade in Peru." A rare printed decree regarding the collection of taxes on lands in Peru and New Spain formerly held by the Spanish Crown. EUROPEAN AMERICANA records only the copy at the Archivo General de las Indias. Not in Medina BHA. EUROPEAN AMERICANA 736/230. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 36295
