A companion volume to: Compendio de la historia geografica, natural y civil del reyno de Chile. Madrid, 1788, and often considered to be part two of that work (cf. title page). However, since the original Italian version was issued in two sections (volumes) with different titles, the Spanish translations of these two works are also treated separately, following Medina. Original work in Italian is an extended version of the civil history section of the author's: Compendio della storia geografica, naturale e civile del regno del Chile. Bologna, 1776 (published anonymously).
