To aid in getting a refreshed grip on the administration of the New World, Philip IV of Spain asked Juan Díez de la Calle, a member of the Consejo de Indias, to produce a concise administrative handbook for use solely by the Council of the Indies, the King, and his close advisors. Here one finds all of the administrative divisions with dates of creation; office holders and their salaries and when the office was created; differences existing between administrative districts; and an interesting section on the various “annual” convoys (“armadas”) and the general in charge of each.

We trace
no copy of this first edition via NUC, WorldCat, Catálogo Colectivo del Patrimonio Bibliográfico, COPAC, or the OPAC of the Spanish National Library. The Colombian National Library holds two copies (both miscatalogued
as having 6 pages and the BNC digitized version showing '”pp. 5 & 6" to be a leaf from a totally different poem).
