Abstract

The analysis of the inventory of the possessions of Hernando Gorjón (1547), the owner of one of the 8rst sugar re8neries at La Española, reveals the use of a terminology quite similar to that which can be found in documents concerning its contemporary sugar plantations in the Canary Islands. 7e study of these «sweet terms» on both sides of the Atlantic is of relevance to establish their origin and the route they followed across the Atlantic.
