Abstract

This paper examines the material conditions of the Hermandad de la Santa Misericordia,  the nature of its foundations and the special features of the maritime loans that the corporation held to the neighbours of Manila who searched for monetary resources to ship goods in the Manila Galleon, to finance commercial enterprises or to buy merchandises in the Asiatic ports.
