Video Orientation to the University of Pennsylvania Library's Ms. Codex 1642, the responses of Bartolomé de las Casas to Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda's twelve refutations following the junta of Valladolid. The junta was convened by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in 1550 and 1551 to consider the justice of the wars being waged by Spain in the western hemisphere, with Sepúlveda arguing that force could be used against the Native Americans and they could be enslaved, and Las Casas arguing that the Native Americans were capable of reason and should not be coerced or enslaved.

(Seville, 1552). Digital copies and a full record are available through Franklin: https://franklin.library.upenn.edu/catalog/FRANKLIN_9962340833503681
