Manila Financial Instruments Database - Correspondencias 1736-1800 2.0 (MFID-Correspondencias)

Database with all the extant correspondencia (sea loan) contracts collected from the surviving notarial protocol books of Manila in the years between 1736 and 1800. It also include traces of the correspondencia contracts, such as cancellations, letters of payment, and the audit of fiscal Villacorta in 1752 (original documents in AGI). Data collected from the Microfilm copies stored in the Biblioteca Tomás Navarro Tomás in Madrid, open for consultation. Colección de Microfilmes de la Sección de Documentos Españoles del Archivo Nacional de Filipinas. Archivo del Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales (ACCHS-CSIC). Original documents stored in National Archive of the Philippines. The database includes information on each individual transaction, including year, takers, guarantors, investors, quantity, premium, destination, and the vessels in which it travels. It includes directories of individuals, travels, and institutions. NOTE: The database is organized by individual transaction, it includes an index specifying the sources, and each transaction is referenced to the protocol book in which it is inscribed, but arranged by the year in which the transaction took place. On the folio references, the extant sources are in some cases very damaged. Since the sources I consulted were mostly the microfilms held in Madrid, I have annotated the folios based on the organization of the archive rather than the numbering of the protocol books themselves, since several pages are missing in many of them and others have their edges too damaged to read the original numbering. NOTE: This is the improved version of the Manila Financial Instruments Database (MFID) - Correspondencias 1.0, published previously in Zenodo (10.5281/zenodo.10277780). I shall keep expanding this database as new information becomes available. I am also looking for any collaboration or input of data on Manila correspondencias that cannot be found in the notarial archives.本数据库收录了1736年至1800年间，从马尼拉留存的公证文书簿册中发掘的全部现存海上借贷（correspondencia）契约。此外还收录了该类契约的附属文件，包括解约文书、付款凭证以及1752年维拉科塔（Villacorta）税务审计档案（原始文件藏于AGI）。本数据集的数据源自马德里托马斯·纳瓦罗·托马斯图书馆（Biblioteca Tomás Navarro Tomás）所藏的缩微胶片副本，该馆藏对外开放查阅；同时还涵盖菲律宾国家档案馆西班牙文献部缩微胶片馆藏，以及西班牙国家科研委员会人文与社会科学中心档案（Archivo del Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales, ACCHS-CSIC）。原始文件现藏于菲律宾国家档案馆。 本数据库涵盖每笔独立交易的详细信息，包括交易年份、借方、担保人、投资方、交易金额、溢价、目的地以及承载交易的船舶。此外还收录了个人、航次及机构名录。 **注：** 本数据库按单笔交易进行组织，包含指明来源的索引，每笔交易均标注其所在的公证文书簿册，并按交易发生年份排序。就页码标注而言，现存部分原始文献已严重受损。由于我所查阅的资料多为马德里馆藏的缩微胶片，因此我依据档案馆的编排体系而非公证文书簿册本身的页码进行标注——许多簿册存在页面缺失，部分簿册的页边受损严重，无法辨认原始页码。 **注：** 本数据集为此前发布于Zenodo平台（DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.10277780）的《马尼拉金融工具数据库（Manila Financial Instruments Database, MFID）——Correspondencias 1.0》的改进版本。 我将在获取新资料后持续扩充本数据库，同时也期待与各方开展合作，或获取无法从公证档案中获得的马尼拉海上借贷契约相关数据。
