<dd>The "Tratado comprobatorio" together with the other seven treatises by Las Casas printed in Seville between 1552 and 1553, eight if the "Lo que se sigue ..." is considered as a separate as it sometimes is, were issued as separates and upon completion of printing, apparently also as a set. They are not always found bound together in the same order nor necessarily in the order in which they were printed, however. Cf. Church, E.D. Discovery, 87-96</dd>
