The punishment of the offences caused to the Indians. A typical page of Diego de Avendaño
Keywords:
Diego de Avendaño, indians, offences, positive discrimination.
Abstract
Neither Avendaño’s supposed positivism, nor his probabilism or the indian casuism give a sufficient explanation of the determination put by the Jesuit in invalidating a law of Philip II that orders to punish the Spanish guilty of offences against the Indians with more rigor than if they were victims of the crime. It is not also a case that could be included in the practice of «se acata, pero no se cumple» (the law is respected, but it is not fulfilled). What Avendaño defends actually, more with words than with arguments, it is the breach of the law.Downloads
