Abstract
Since the Eighteenth Century, the Council of Castile centralised its powers on printed documents on the two new escribanías de Gobierno (Government clerk’s offices) with the aim of rationalizing the administrative procedures and exerting more control on written works in order to avoid the prevailing fraud. The records produced by these clerk’s offices have been studied, arranged and described by the Archivo Histórico Nacional (National Historical Archive) through a working methodology. The results thereof are explained in this article.Downloads
