This article examines how notaries, who had the power to register people’s words and actions in official records, did their business. The author asks how the notaries registered judicial processes, in whose name they did it, and what were the vested interests involved in the processes.

This article analyses the level of enrichment achieved by viceroys Castelldosrius and Castelfuerte. This is a central theme for evaluating the Spanish state, the ways in which the networks of political clientelism were woven during the reign of Philip V, and how all this was projected into the Peruvian viceroyalty. This study is based on a wealth of documentary material and offers a new reading on the political culture of the eighteenth century.
