Abstract

In the researches about colonial roads in New Spain, some questions have emerged regarding the way these journeys were done; one of those questions has to do with the measurement of the travel distances. In the documents we find that the term league was the most used to indicate the quantitative distance between one place and another. In the Novohispanic historiography, it has been assumed, until now, that a league was equivalent to 4.19 kilometers. However, the study of some traveler itineraries during the three colonial centuries reveals that the value of the league was extremely variable. In fact the results indicate that the league value covers a wide range of distances.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
