Caracas cabildo minutes recorded an enslaved Black woman belonging to Andrés García as suffering from Hansen’s disease, then called the disease of Saint Lazarus. The brief entry places a woman’s illness inside an archive that identifies her through ownership. Her name and subsequent care are not preserved in the cited summary, a reminder of the unequal visibility produced by colonial recordkeeping.
