A valuable new reference work for students of the Spanish Empire, this dictionary presents biographies of the 172 men who served on the Council of the Indies--the supreme judicial tribunal for Spain's colonial empire--from the time of Philip V's reforms in 1717 to the French invasion in 1808. Based on the extensive documentation contained in Spanish archives and on various secondary sources, it offers a wealth of historical detail on a period that is important both to Spanish history and to the development of the New World.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This study, based on extensive archival research, consists of a collective analysis of the career patterns of 159 men named to the Council for the first time between 1717 and 1808, followed by individual biographical sketches, appendixes, a glossary, and an index. Like his previous study Biographical Dictionary of Audiencia Ministers in the Americas, Burkholder's new work greatly advances our knowledge of the institution and personalities of Spain's most important New World administrative body. Upper-division and graduate collections.”–Choice
