| Summary | "Colección de Documentos Inéditos Relativos al Descubrimiento, Conquista" is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This compilation focuses on the discovery, conquest, and organization of Spain's former overseas possessions, particularly dealing with historical records from Cuba during early encounters and colonization efforts. The text appears to be a meticulous collection aimed at providing researchers and historians with primary documents regarding Spain’s imperial history. The opening of this work introduces the motivations behind its compilation, emphasizing the importance of archival documents from the period of Spanish exploration and colonization. It outlines the initiative led by Luis Torres de Mendoza to gather documents from the Indies archives in Seville, detailing how subsequent support from the government facilitated this endeavor. The text also explains that the first volume includes various significant documents relating to the island of Cuba's initial settlement under Diego Velázquez, helping readers understand the context and significance of the records that follow. This beginning sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Spain's imperial past through its original documents. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
