Abstract:
Petition from and Privilege granted to Alfonso Chacón for publishing the works of his uncle, historian Alonso Chacón. The petition is notable for its repeated assertions of the Nephew’s poverty and the necessity of a privilege to enable the Nephew to complete the printing of Chacón’s Lives and Deeds of the Popes, and to encourage the Nephew to publish others of his Uncle’s works.
