Earl Hamilton, a contemporary price revolution theorist, found that no Spanish writer of the 16th century had voiced opinions similar to those of Jean Bodin despite having conducted meticulous research into Spanish treatises, letters, and other documents. This, however, was not true; less well known is an even earlier Spanish publication in a treatise from 1556 by the cleric Martín de Azpilcueta of the Salamanca School, which made virtually the same claim about the role of Spanish-American silver in the rise of prices. Martín de Azpilcueta, Jean de Malestroit, Jean Bodin, and early debate about the history of the price revolution in many was the reason historians, philosophers, and economists tried to formulate their own explanations to the price revolution.
