FERNANDEZ GUISASOLA, Luis Fernando. Diplomatic Study of Two Provisions in Favour of Miguel Pérez de Almazán. Investig. bibl [online]. 2025, vol.39, n.105, pp.67-82.  Epub 09-Abr-2026. ISSN 2448-8321.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iibi.24488321xe.2025.105.59070.

This article analyzes the two provisions granted on the same day to Miguel Pérez de Almazán, which appointed him to the office of chief founder and assayer of gold in Hispaniola. One of these was issued in the name of Ferdinand the Catholic, and the other in the name of his daughter, Joanna I of Castile, highlighting the division in the governance of the Indies following the death of Isabella the Catholic. As original documents, they show a practice previously known only through epoch records. To contextualize the legal significance of documents being issued simultaneously in the names of King Ferdinand and his daughter Joanna, other primary sources have been consulted. These sources reveal the nature of the appointment and the existence of a dual-headed government. The diplomatic analysis of the provisions reveals the systematic issuance of identical documents with the names of both monarchs, demonstrating the partition of sovereignty. In this way, the article provides a solid archival foundation for understanding the administration of the Indies between 1507 and 1516.
