\"18_DICIEMBRE-FUNDACION_YUSTE-LIBRO_MANAS_1\"The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation presented the book El cacere\u00f1o Juan Bl\u00e1zquez Mayoralgo. Contador y preceptista en Nueva Espa\u00f1a<\/em>, by the professor of Latin Philology at the University of Extremadura, Manuel Ma\u00f1as N\u00fa\u00f1ez. This book is the fifth volume of the collection \u201cExtreme\u00f1os en Iberoam\u00e9rica\u201d; a collection which the Foundation dedicates to recover and enhance key figures in the history that Extremadura shares with America.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The director of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, Juan Carlos Moreno, its academic director, C\u00e9sar Chaparro G\u00f3mez, and the mayor of C\u00e1ceres, Elena Nevado along with the author of the book, have presented it this afternoon in C\u00e1ceres.<\/p>\n

This work is the first monograph dedicated to the life and work of Juan Bl\u00e1zquez Mayoralgo, a figure from C\u00e1ceres who left to New Spain as de Accountant of the Royal Estate of New Veracruz and continued in his post for more than twenty years.<\/p>\n

During that time, he was not only vigilant in meeting his bureaucratic duties, but was the most direct witness of the vicissitudes and problems that New Spain was going through, while still finding moments of leisure to satisfy his literary inquisitiveness with the processing and publication of his main work: La perfecta raz\u00f3n de Estado<\/em>, a history and political theory book about King Ferdinand the Catholic.<\/p>\n

Throughout its almost 500 pages, Ma\u00f1as writes about the life and work of Bl\u00e1zquez Mayoralgo as of his circle of Novohispano friends in American soil, but above all, he studies and analyses \u201cThe Perfect Reason of State\u201d, including it in his political-literary context and analysing the historical and political content of each one of the books that it comprises.<\/p>\n

The work has an added value as it combines the historiographic rigour of a scientific work with the novelistic story of its main character\u2019s vital steps as well as of those of the characters that appear in it.<\/p>\n
