JARAMILLO M., Juvenal. A canon in the service of the royal treasury: the trades and personality of Luis Zerpa in the times of bourbon fiscalization. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.139, pp.127-156. ISSN 2448-7554.

This article reveals how Luis Zerpa Manrique de Lara, a cleric from the Canary Islands, came to be installed in the Cathedral Council of Valladolid de Michoacán in the decade of 1880, where he channeled firsthand information to the metropolitan authorities related to the economy of the Church in Michoacán and, more concretely, the many rubrics for which that Church owed the Spanish Crown hefty sums of money. The text unfolds along two guiding axes: the fiscalizing attitude of Zerpa that uncovered the non-payment of huge amounts of money that the Church in Michoacán had concealed from the Royal Treasury (Real Hacienda), and the retaliations t which this prebendary was subjected at the hands of Bishop Friar Antonio de San Miguel and other influential figures in the Diocesan council.
