Abstract
El análisis de varios expedientes de bienes de difuntos fallecidos en Indias en los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII nos ha permitido localizar noticias sobre orfebres españoles que se establecieron en Nueva España o en Tierra Firme y sobre otros personajes de diferentes capas sociales que remitieron mandas testamentarias a sus localidades de origen y que no siempre se recogen en los Libros de Registro de las flotas. A este respecto, damos a conocer el nombre, origen, vecindad y relaciones familiares o profesionales de algunos plateros inéditos. De igual forma, hemos revisado una docena de expedientes de indianos que fundaron capellanías, entregaron caudales para obras pías o legaron piezas de plata labrada a las instituciones religiosas de su patria chica o a imágenes de su devoción. Por último, precisamos las circunstancias del legado de Francisco de Samaniego, el único que ha llegado a nuestros días, si bien de manera parcial.
The analysis of several records of the property of the deceased who died in the Indies in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries has allowed us to locate news about Spanish goldsmiths who settled in New Spain or on Tierra Firme and about other people from different social strata who sent Testamentary mandates to their places of origin that are not included in the Fleet Registry Books. In this regard, the name, origin, neighborhood and family or professional relationships of some unpublished silversmiths are now disclosed. In the same way, we have reviewed a dozen files of Indians who founded chaplaincies, delivered funds for pious works or bequeathed interesting pieces of silverware to the religious institutions of their small homeland or to images of their devotion. Finally, the circumstances of the legacy of Francisco de Samaniego have been specified, the only one that has survived to our days, though partially.
