150734851Barcelona Madrid Valldolid Spain Aranjuez Mexico City & elsewhere 170179. Small 4to folio & larger. Approximately 135 ff. <br><br>Explaining why manuscript cedularios were made in the era of the printing press is called for here and the answer is simple: The number of copies that were printed of any given royal cédula tended to be smaller than the number of lawyers clerks judges and other legal sorts who needed a copy. And within months of the issuance of the decree no printed copies were available for love or money. Owning the various editions of the Recopilación de leyes de Indias was insufficient for most cédulas related to => specific issues peculiar to one person place institution or event and such specificity is not included in the recopilaciones though the royal decrees provided good useful precedents to cite.<br>Â Â Â Â QED: Every colonial-era lawyer had to resort to maintaining his own cedulario.<br>Â Â Â Â This cedulario was assembled in Mexico during the 18th century probably around 1778 or 1780 for the use of a lawyer before the audiencia or perhaps for an audiencia judge or a judge's staff member. The decrees relate to a wide variety of topics: criminal cases the army and navy confiscation of property the use of stamped paper the royal treasury royal officials in Nicaragua cabildos proselytization of Indians commodities dress codes bigamy and other social matters in the regions of Mexico New Galicia and Guatemala. Of the 43 items 22 are printed decrees all but one printed in Spain and the remaining 21 are manuscript. Fifteen bear => true rather than stamped royal signatures: six are signed by Felipe V and nine are by Ferdinand VI. Of the 28 documents not signed by a king 17 are printed and 11 are manuscript. The documents are sewn and were once bound; binding removed some time ago. 18th-century numbering of documents shows that 10 documents were removed som time before the collection came into our hands. There are some stains a few holes at folds a few edges a little tattered nothing worse. => A sound and interesting collection. unknown books

"A native of Burgos educated at Louvain and Wittenberg Francisco de Enzinas 1518-52 was a humanist scholar and Protestant convert who produced the first Spanish version of the New Testament printed in 1543 in Antwerp. He formed a partnership with the Strassburg printer Augustin Fries to publish Spanish translations of Greek classics and the remainder of the Bible of which he was only able to complete Psalms Ecclesiasticus Job and Proverbs before his death. Baudrier VIII 241 not having seen or located a copy citing Brunet supplement II 712" "Even before the complete edition of Castellio's Latin Bible appeared Enzinas who had already produced a Spanish Bible New Testament in Antewerp in 1543 had translated the Psalter the Wisdom of Solomon Jesus Sirach present copy and the book of Job into Spanish. All of these appeared with the false address 'En Leon en casa de Sebastian Grypho' though they were in fact his translations from manuscript versions of Castellio's edition. Enzinas continued to work on his translations until his death on 30 December 1552. He had planned to have his Spanish Bible printed in Geneva but this fortunately for Calvin never came to pass."
