Peru A.D.S.: The Trial of Blas de Torres Altamirano

A 21-page document, written c1635, describing the Trial of Blas de Torres Altamirano, Magistrate of the Supreme Court of Lima (Peru) who had been accused of contravention of the Royal Decree keeping office holders in America from marrying themselves, their songs or daughters during the time they held their offices. This document is signed by Francisco Garcia Carillo Alderete, Attorney of the Criminal Court of Lima, which had been entrusted with this matter by Viceroy Luis Jerónimo de Cabrera, Count of Chinchon, who held this office in Peru from 1629-1639. This document bears no date but must have been written during this ten year period. It was during the time Count Chinchon was viceroy of Peru that quinine was first used by Europeans. It was first called Chinchona to honor the wife of Count Chinchon. This document is bound by means of 2 calf strings into a parchment document containing a Censo in favor of Alfonso Alvarez de Toledo for several houses in the Alcaizeria de Cuenca, which he gave to Elviro Gonzalez ("Censo" being an annual rent). This document was written in 1420. Old legal vellum documents as this one were often used in later centuries for binding purposes such as spine reinforcement-strips, inlay-papers or simply as wrappers as in the present case.
