Proceso selectivo de procuradores generales en la Villa de Madrid (1700-1759): análisis documental

Abstract

Attorney general's occupation was in this time one of those that more interest woke up among the members of the town council from Madrid, partly because its acting meant a guarantee for all those with aspirations inside the administration. The objective of this work doesn't reside in giving to know the different functions of the position, among other many questions, but in presenting the method used in the selection of the suitable candidates that should exercise him and the documents generated in this process. A procedure that was translated in the orderly expedition of a series of documents in the practice, which, contained in attention to their logical sequence, have arrived until us in file form.
