This volume focuses on a key example of early modern Castilian colonial historiography, the Décadas. Providing a detailed analysis of linguistic discourse, it fills a research gap in Spanish language studies: for the first time the Décadas , a widely read and received text of great prestige, are the object of a systematic, historically informed analysis of their linguistic and discursive characteristics.
