NOTICIAS NUEVAS SOBRE EL METALURGISTA ÁLVARO ALONSO BARBA: LA NEGOCIACIÓN CORTESANA DE 1660.
- Authors
DÍAZ BLANCO, JOSÉ MANUEL
- Abstract
The article focuses on the consultation given by Spanish metallurgist Álvaro Alonso Barba to the Spanish government under the reign of King Philip IV during the 17th century, concerning the need for Spain to improve its government policy on coal mining and the technical improvements required to do so. The author refers to a group of documents pertaining to the life of Barba contained in the repository of archival documents "Archivo General de Indias" (General Archive of the Indies) in Seville, Spain, which aid in the understanding of the communications between Barba and the Spanish government, including Barba's advice to privatize the mines, something that did not occur.
