ABSTRACT: Study of the private and non-free transfers of notarial offices hidden under the renunciation, official access method, in Jerez de la Frontera during the sixteenth century. A frequent practice in the Crown of Castile, resignation is a mere subterfuge that conceals, since leases, purchases, exchanges, and dations to the census of the notary offices of Jerez were prohibited by law. The circumstances surrounding the process, together with the pertinent casuistry, are analysed and developed based on the information provided by the Chapter Acts and the notarial protocols of the city, by a residence trial of 1590 and a lawsuit of 1592.
