Biography
This collection of manuscripts was in the private collection of John H. Grepe of Dallas, Texas from approximately 1957 to
1975. In September 1975, Grepe sold the items as one collection to Gene Hanrahan, president of R & D Books of Salisbury,
North Carolina. In August 1977, this same collection was sold via Libros Latinos of Los Angeles, California to the University
of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). In August 1981, more Tulancingo manuscripts were acquired by UCLA from Howard Karno Books,
Inc. and added to the collection.
This collection was formerly known as the
John H. Grepe collection and
A Collection of material about Tulancingo, Hidalgo, Mexico, 1540-1875.
Scope and Content
Collection consists primarily of civil litigation case files from the district of Tulancingo, Mexico, dating from 1567-1882.
The collection is interspersed with a few criminal case files and several government printed broadsides. Some case files
also fall under the jurisdiction of Mexico City.
The boxes have been roughly divided according to the date of judgment or arbitration date; however, many files include subsequent
notations entered by civil authorities as it related to outstanding matters towards fulfillment of the judgment.
Case files prior to 1837 are notable for revealing the maneuverings of indigenous communities within the legal system, the
involvement of women in various business and property disputes, the colonial tribute system, tensions surrounding the War
of Independence, and acts of resistance to the colonial regime by native peoples. Some of the more interesting case files
include a property dispute involving Martín Cortés, the son of Hernán Cortés, the investigation of an Indian riot, and an
Indian woman, who had been a traditional healer, being accused of witchcraft. Case files prior to 1837 contain some documents
in Nahuatl.
Case files from 1846 to 1882 deal primarily with probate matters (often including estate inventories and wills), financial
disputes between merchants and creditors, and demands for repayment of liens or mortgages. Researchers will find extensive
documents with respect to four different actions: probate matters pertaining to the estate of Maria Josefa Ortega, a bankruptcy
proceeding against Apolonio Uribarri, a civil dispute involving the Sanchez Hidalgo family, and the dissolution of a commercial
partnership involving Spanish merchants Antonio Gayol and Tomas Urrutia. Scholars interested in researching issues of gender
and sexuality will find several notable cases, for example, a case involving an older male resident who pursued relations
with a younger girl and later denied paternity to their child; cases of mothers seeking legal recognition and assets from
the fathers of illegitimate children; and cases involving allegations of physical abuse and infidelity. In addition to the
aforementioned, scholars will find numerous examples of women's involvement in civil disputes over outstanding mortgages,
as business owners, as estate executors and legal guardians for their children, and in property disputes. Case files from
this period contain very little mention of Indian peoples and no Nahuatl documents.
