Abstract
This work offers the edition of the capitulation document signed between the merchants Diego de Soria and Francisco Pinelli and His Holiness Nuncio, Jacobo de Seseña, whereby the so-called “Canarian Bull” was to be collected in order to partly finance the conquest of the Canarian archipelago. Through the study of the document contents, this work tries to discern these merchants’ vested interests in such an operation and describes the very favourable mercantile and financial context which might account for their deliberate intervention.
