Social Sciences - Archäologie / Mexico | | Spanisch Begriff oder Satz: a que respondiera una instrucción y memoria | Another phrase, but modern, which I cannot figure out:
Para las últimas décadas del siglo XVI Felipe II se interesa por tener una rica y precisa visión de las numerosas poblaciones que conformaban su imperio americano, de ahí que ordena a las autoridades locales o en su caso a los vecinos más distinguidos ***a que respondieran una instrucción y memoria*** donde pormenorizaran los puntos más notables de las Indias.

Erklärung:
I know this is a bit far-fetched, but then the sentence is rather weird. I thought "instrucción" might mean "investigation" as it does in some legal contexts or perhaps "survey" or something along those lines.
Hope it helps.
