Text prepared for the Ibero-American E-text Series at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Printed in Seville in 1552, the pamphlet is preserved at the James Ford Bell Library in the University of Minnesota. It contains the minutes of a debate that took place in Valladolid, Spain, in 1550, between the Spanish humanist Don Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda --who argued that native Americans were the natural slaves that Aristotle mentions in his Politics --and friar Bartolomé de las Casas--who argued that native Americans were human beings with God given rights, such as personal freedom.

- This digitized text can be considered a partial transcription because the spelling and capitalization of the original text has been changed in the cases where it was thought it could confuse the modern reader. For the same reason, the abbreviations used in the original (e.g. q~ for que) have been replaced with the complete word. In addition, all hyphenated words which appear at the end of a page are represented without the hyphen. The page break has been moved to the end of the word.
