valuable part of the Inquisition archive, some 1300 volumes of which are in 
the Archivo General y Publico (see page 188). An inventory of the manu- 
scripts in the Museo, prepared by Sefior Obregon, is preserved with the

The records consist of documents concerning the establishment of the 
Inquisition in Mexico, autos de fé, papal briefs, royal cédulas, correspondence 
with the viceroys and other officials, constitutions and regulations of the Holy 
Office, instructions to officials, and especially causas, or trials. There are also 
documents concerning the Jesuits in the Philippines from 1684 to 1688 (vol. 
45, no. 8), and concerning the expulsion of the Jesuits from New Spain.
