D 2.ix.95, 2: 157. The reference is to [Antonio Eximeno y Pujades] Antonii Eximeni presbyteri valentini De studiis philosophicis et mathematicis instituendis ad virum clarissimum suique amicissimum Ioannem Andresium liber unus, Madrid, 1789. A later reference, D 17.iii.97, 2: 330, shows acquaintance with at least the prologue of the same author's Institutiones philosophicae et mathematicae, 2 v., Madrid, 1796.

O 4: 349b. The work in question is Francisco Martínez Marina, Ensayo histórico-crítico sobre la antigua legislacion y principales cuerpos legales de los reynos de Leon y Castilla, especialmente sobre el código de D. Alonso el Sabio, conocido con el nombre de las Siete Partidas, Madrid, 1808.

O 4: 386b-387a, 391a. Somoza, Cartas, in a note to the first of these passages, identifies the book with an English translation of Horace by Alexander Geddes which he found among Jovellanos' books in the Instituto. The context, however, makes it plain that the work in question is Michael Geddes, Miscellaneous tracts, London, 1702. These «tracts» all deal with Spain or Portugal, with some special reference to medieval Cortes or parliaments.
