Resumen
El estudio de la dinámica social de los cacicazgos costarricenses y su destrucción como consecuencia de la conquista española se ve muchas veces obstaculizada por la escasa información disponible. Las fuentes escritas primarias son relativamente pocas y se encuentran en su mayoría publicadas en colecciones de documentos, lo que ha representado una valiosa ayuda a los estudiosos del período. Sin embargo, siempre quedan lagunas de información sobre temas específicos que son esenciales para el investigador. Por eso el descubrimiento de datos que no se conocían ni se habían publicado constituye un feliz y afortunado acontecimiento. Tal es la situación que hoy nos motiva a incluir en estas páginas algunos fragmentos inéditos de un documento fundamental para el estudio de las sociedades indígenas costarricenses del Valle Central a finales del siglo XVI.

Such is the situation that today motivates us to include in these pages some unpublished fragments of a fundamental document for the study of the Costa Rican indigenous societies of the Central Valley at the end of the 16th century.
