Any chance this book is translated to English? Or available (any language is better than none) for download/purchase? I don't speak Spanish, but that's never stopped me from trying to google translate the gist of things.

I need the years from 1680s–1690s related to the Manila treasure ships. (Not just wrecks.)

Thanks for all the great info here!

I don't know if you are going to find a download...it may even be tough to find a hard copy for sale, but if you happen to drift up into Georgia for any reason, the library at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro has a copy of El Comercio Espanol con America. You could scan the pages and then convert the scanned images into something like a PDF file which you could then translate digitally.

I would call the library and get them to hold the item before you took a road trip, though. Sometimes obscure books have a way of disappearing from a library's inventory...

Thanx! I'm the queen of scanning to PDF!

Prof's like to squirrel them away; good luck even finding them then.
