The Cosmographer and Chair of Mathematics of the Council of the Indies, with the three-year syllabus printed in the law

One salaried post in Madrid held two jobs: keep the crown's map and sailing-route archive of the Americas, and teach mathematics an hour a day beside the Council of the Indies. The code prints the whole three-year course — Sacrobosco, arithmetic, Peurbach, the Alfonsine tables, Euclid, trigonometry, Regiomontanus, Ptolemy, cosmography, navigation, the astrolabe — fills the post by public edict, and withholds a third of the salary until the year's work is shown.
