Para que se haga lista y padron de los pueblos, e indios que ay. Lima, 1603.
Para que los indios yanaconas no puedan ser detenidos en las chacaras. Lima, 1603.
Much of the legislation passed by Peru’s viceroys had to do with the Indian population, whose labor and tribute sustained the colony. In the sixteenth century, laws were generally circulated in handwritten copies, but these two documents from 1603 are early examples of printed laws. The first ordered a census of Indian villages, while the second called for protecting the rights of Indian laborers in Spanish haciendas and tambos, or roadside inns.
