- catalog abstract "In the very heart of Seville's historical center stands the General Archive of the Indies. It was from Seville, of course, that all the legendary early Spanish explorers and conquistadors set forth on their glorious adventures of discovery. First the explorers, then the shippers, traders, geographers, soldiers, priests, settlers and government officials that followed in their wake kept meticulous accounts and records, drew maps, city plans and fortifications, and sketched and painted the exotic flora and fauna they encountered. Here are documents that bring to life a saga that is as quintessential to American as it is to Spaniards. The remarkable illustration are fully explained, while authors chosen by the Archive first describe the Discovery and then the giant bureaucracy put in place by the Catholic Kings to administer their vast new Empire and negotiate the shipping and communications that were necessary for its support, development and exploitation.".
