Este tercer tomo de la Historia Monetaria Documental de Puerto Rico (La Moneda Macuquina) son transcripciones de más de 240 páginas de fuentes primarias del Archivo Histórico Nacional en Madrid. Al finalizar en P.R. las remesas del Situado Mexicano, nuestro primer Intendente de Hacienda, Don Alejandro Ramírez, autorizó en 1813 el uso de la moneda macuquina para mitigar la falta de numerario en circulación. La macuquina circuló libremente en Puerto Rico hasta 1857 cuando fue canjeada por moneda de cuño nacional español. Los documentos primarios presentados datan de principalmente desde 1813 hasta 1836. Presentamos las situaciones enfrentadas principalmente por los comerciantes en Mayagüez y Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, debido a la inestabilidad económica que arrastraba la moneda macuquina. Esta serie de libros ayudará a comprender mejor la historia monetaria y económica puertorriqueña y servirá de complemento para el estudio de la numismática de Puerto Rico del siglo XIX, bajo el dominio español.

A historiographical account of Spains Orientalism tackles the problematized issues that both Arabist and Hebraist scholars sought to address.
