Murúa Manuscript
Artista: No identificado
Siglo XVII · España
Colección: Códice Murúa
This 17th-century manuscript, with its detailed and cursive calligraphy, represents a fragment of the work of the Spanish chronicler Martín de Murúa, known for his writings on the New World. The text, a historical and geographical chronicle, likely details aspects of the life and characteristics of the Imperial City of Potosí, one of the most important cities in the Viceroyalty of Peru during the colonial era. The texture of the paper and the style of writing evoke the materiality of historical documents from the period.
