The writing is divided into two parts: the first is a brief analysis of the importance, difference and some historiographic considerations around the diseases, social relations and stereotypes in the colonial culture shock present in the document; The second part consists of the documentary transcription of the judicial process against Isabel and Catalina, Ladino Indians, for the alleged poisoning of two girls and a Panche Indian with herbs. It is hoped that this contribution can serve as input and incentive for the development and understanding of some of the colonial themes and dynamics in what is currently Colombia.
