Description: "A valuable and singular in-depth biographical treatment of the first president of the Audiencia of Nueva Granada who governed from 1563-72. Important for early history of Nueva Granada, as Venero de Leiva's administration illustrates imposition of royal government in the colony and its jurisdictional structure, as well as the resulting conflict between the encomenderos' self-interest and metropolitan intent"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
