HANDBOOK FOR TRANSLATORS OF SPANISH HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS ue of $4.85 paper money to one gold escudo . from 1537 to 1771. Likewise, I have made use of the hypothesis that silver continued to fall in value with relation to gold, from 1:1.11 which it had at the end of the XV century to the maximum of 1:17 reached during the first independent government (Of Argentina] . Likewise I have made use of gold value in relation to copper coins. For the reasons given ahove, I "believe that these bases pennit one to obtain results which are amply practical. I have not made use of fractions of smaller denomination than one centavo because I think there are chances of making major errors- For facility in exposition, I have divided the tables into various periods, corresponding to as many important changes in the monetary system. They are arranged in twelve groups, in which these dates are included; Years 1492-1537 1537-1566 1567-1608 1609-1642 1642-1686 1686-1728 Years 1728-1737 1737-1771 1772-1811 1812-1862 1862-1881 1882-19283 Since the equivalent values of coins used prior to the year 1492, as given in the lists below, were obtained by a tortuous method and in a manner not altogether satisfactory, they may be used only with caution. Nevertheless, these values are useful in determining the comparative worth of personal or real property. The fine weight of silver or gold of certain coins was ascertained, and their equivalent value was found by giving the pure gold or silver its equivalent value in United States currency for 1936. It was found that in Jsuauary, 1936, the Spanish peseta, which con- ^Juan Alvarez, Temas de Historia Icon(5inica Argentina!

A ten peseta gold coin, which is not in circulation, contains 44.8036 grains of gold. One grain of gold, therefore, was valued at $0.0729, and one ounce at $34.9920. The weight of the silver maravedf was known for definite periods "between 1312 and 1550. Once its value was determined, the maraved^ was used as a unit in ascertaining the par value of other coins. For that purpose, the following tahle was used:
