As a contribution to the life of one to whom all Spanish students owe a debt of gratitude, I print Zurita’s petition in the Appendix. He was probably well paid for his services; in 1542 there is an order on the receiver of Aragon to pay him an ayuda de costa, or gratuity, of 600 ducats (Ibidem, Lib. 940, fol. 42).

There was a secretary of the Suprema, in 1519, named Gerónimo Zurita—probably an uncle of the historian (Arch. hist. nacional, Inq. de Valencia, Leg. 371).
