Abstract

This paper studies the Memorial d'Arbitris de l'illa de Menorca by Francisco Negrete (1606), accounter and veedor of the Habsburg Army in St. Felip Castle. The Memorial proposes a clear scheme of mercantilistic economic growth for the island, in which it is suggested to link the improvements in agronomy, livestock and forestry, the wheat prizes fixed by the government, the protected emerging industry and the fiscal profits with a prevision of demographic growth and social order. Along with this mercantilistic scheme, the present state of knowledge of the island is presented.
