Juan Bautista Muñoz

Juan Bautista Muñoz (Museros, 12 June 1745 – Madrid, 19 July 1799) was an 18th-century Spanish philosopher and historian. He wrote a major history of Spain and Spanish America, using Spanish archival resources, and was the driving force behind the creation of the Archive of the Indies. That brought into a single repository all the documents pertaining to the administration of Spanish overseas possessions. Provided by Wikipedia
