AB 胡安•冈萨雷斯•德•门多萨于1585年出版的《中华大帝国史》第一次以西班牙语和葡萄牙语全面整理了有关中国的记述。该书正面记录了中国明朝司法制度，并探讨了这些司法制度与当代西班牙和墨西哥司法制度之间的巨大差别。其中包括对法律和公共框架的曲解，公众对证人的质疑，多层面不同形式的惩罚，经济上的惩罚以及死刑的场景。作者在书中强调通过奖励和惩罚双重方式对各级官员、下属大臣进行严格控制，以保证对各级官员的选拔任用标准，这一点也曾在蒙田对明代官员的评价中得到过体现。此外，胡安•冈萨雷斯•德•门多萨还十分崇敬守护印第安人的拉斯卡萨斯，他决定从他的文献中删掉那些为对抗中国而向强硬派提供的所谓正当权利的论辩，如洛阿尔卡所目睹的邪恶和杜拉埃尼亚所描述的死刑等。González de Mendoza’s book on China, published in 1585, compiled all the first narratives about China, both Portuguese and Spanish. It contains a highly positive account of Ming criminal justice in which he emphasizes those elements of Chinese justice that deeply contrasts with Spanish and Mexican practices: the legal and public frame of torture, the public questioning of witnesses, the multilayered revisions of penalties, the public placing of the monetary fines, and the mise en scène of thedeath penalty. He insistently highlights the strict control upon every layer of officers and inferior ministers through a double procedure of rewards and punishments that guarantees the high standing of Chinese officials, an appraisal that Montaignewould pick up in his extremely rare allusions to China. At the same time, González de Mendoza, a thorough admirer of father Las Casas, the defender of Indians, decided to omit from his sources those elements that could provide the hardliners witharguments, the just title, to confront China, such as the nefandous sin witnessed by Loarca and the death by a thousand cuts described by Dueñas.
