Descripción
Sumario:The way of the principle of movement is a part of the memorial written by Juan Francisco de Rojas, alguacil mayor, of the Real Audiencia of Santo Domingo, with the intention to protect his rights over some inventions applicable in the mining industry at the end of sixteenth century. In this document can be found how some technical knowledge used in the mining works traveled between New Spain and Peru; the profile of thought of the miners of that time, especially those referent to the mechanisms they used to explain their technical reasons; and the technological potential of Rojas’ innovations.
