Very rare, with only one copy in WorldCat, this property cadastre of the state of Cundinamarca was compiled by a commission appointed by the legislative assembly in 1878. The comprehensive list includes the name of the owner, the name of the property, and the fiscal appraisal of all properties in Cundinamarca. It is, without a doubt, an important source of data for historical research on Colombia in the second half of the eighteenth century.   From the collection of Professor Malcolm Deas, (1941-2023), an Emeritus Fellow of St Antony’s College, Oxford,
