Summary | "The Audiencia in the Spanish Colonies" by Charles Henry Cunningham is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the Audiencia of Manila, a central institution in the Spanish colonial administration from its establishment in the late 16th century until the end of the 18th century. The book likely discusses the judicial, governmental, and ecclesiastical functions of the audiencia, exploring how this tribunal operated within the broader context of Spanish colonial governance. The opening of the book provides significant background on the author's motivations for studying the audiencia, primarily noting its importance within the Spanish colonial system. Cunningham shares his experiences conducting research in various archives, both in the Philippines and Spain, underscoring the relevance of the Audiencia of Manila as a representative case study for understanding the audiencia system across all Spanish colonies. He outlines his intent to highlight not only the judicial aspects of the audiencia but also its governmental and ecclesiastical functions, setting the scene for a comprehensive examination of this institution as an integral part of Spanish colonial history.
