“ The whole work in fifty-one volumes was published at Madrid (1747–1886) . Its value is considerably increased by the insertion of ancient chronicles and documents not easily accessible elsewhere. Florez was a good numismatist, and published Medallas de las Colonias in 2 vols. (1757–1758) , of which a third volume appeared in 1773. His last work was the Memorias de las reynas Catolicas, 2 vols. (1770) . Florez led a retired, studious and unambitious life, and died at Madrid on the 20th of August 1773.
