AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original colonial manuscript dated June 28, 1644, issued during the reign of Philip IV and related to the administration of the New Kingdom of Granada (present-day Colombia), province of Antioquia.
The document concerns the succession in second life of an encomienda of the Peques and Bejicos Indians following the death of Bartolomé de la Rúa, within the Spanish colonial administrative system in the Americas.
It preserves the royal formula “Yo el Rey” and is endorsed by the royal secretary Gabriel de Ocaña y Alarcón, connected to the Council of the Indies.
The document is in good and very legible condition. It shows restorations in some areas, typical of its age, that do not hinder general reading.
The paper also bears a watermark visible to transmitted light, indicative of European manufacture of the period.
A piece of great historical interest for collectors of Spanish colonial manuscripts and scholars of the encomienda system in the Americas during the seventeenth century.
