LAS DESCRIPCIONES DEL ARZOBISPADO DE TOLEDO. UN PROYECTO ILUSTRADO DEL CARDENAL LORENZANA.

The article talks about the Descriptions or Geographical Relations of the Archbishopric of Toledo, an illustrated project by Cardinal Lorenzana. These descriptions are an important source of information about the territories where they were made, providing data on history, demography, production, religiosity, institutions, communications, among other aspects. These descriptions were made both in Spain and in America, and questionnaires were used to gather the necessary information. The objective of these descriptions was to know the reality of the people, the towns, and the territory in order to write a history based on data and develop good governance in the New World.
