Abstract

This manuscript is an account book kept by a Spanish royal treasury official in Peru for the year 1571, documenting revenue received and payments made on behalf of the King of Spain, and tributes or "royal fifths" levied against the native people of the Spanish colony. The title Libro de thesorero Diego de Salzedo para deste ano de 1571 is written on both the upper cover and the first folio.
