Provenance: Confraternity of the Holy Cross of Horcajada; purchased in France with export license.Â Â An early Spanish confraternity manuscript containing the rules and statutes that governed the Confraternity of the Holy Cross referred to as the CofradÃa or Hermandad de la Cruz the word Cruz being supplied by a Maltese cross in red of La Horcajada a town located in Castile y LeÃ³n in the province of Ãvila. As in other Roman Catholic countries confraternities or lay brotherhoods played a vital role in community life in Spain functioning as mutual aid societies and venues for laypeople to express their piety and perform charitable acts. Vernacular manuscript confraternity statutes from the Iberian peninsula surface much more rarely than for example their Italian counterparts although it appears that Spain had a larger number of confraternities proportional to the population especially in Castile y Leon than the other Catholic lands. Virtually every community including small villages had at least one confraternity. While exact numbers of confraternities in sixteenth-century Spain are unknown â€œstudies carried out for a number of cities suggest that the number of confraternities and brotherhoods in the Hispanic kingdoms was larger than elsewhere in Catholic Europe. The reasons behind the extraordinary popularity of confraternities and brotherhoods in the Hispanic kingdoms cannot yet be established however in view of the current state of research on the topic. There has been a tendency for scholars to emphasize the confraternity as a primarily urban phenomenon a reflection perhaps of their early development in Italy where they formed an essential part of civic and urban life. In the Hispanic kingdoms however these institutions were equally important in the religious and social life of the small village. Pastoral visitations carried out by the bishops of Cuenca during the sixteenth century found that `nearly every community had at least one brotherhoodâ€™ even small villages of 500 inhabitants. A similar pattern prevailed in villages around Toledo during the late sixteenth centuryâ€ Callahan pp. 18-19. In his article on Spanish confraternities William Callahan further points out their popular natureÂ which â€œarose from the initiative of the laity rather than the clergy prime examples of the lay piety that began to flourish in late medieval Europe. This piety developed largely on its own uncontrolled by either local bishops or the pope both of whom regarded its manifestations with some suspicion. The resiliency of traditional confraternities and brotherhoods developed from their connection to local religious cultures. It also reflected a fact noted by scholars who have studied specific cities and regions the strongly popular character of membership. There were of course some associations that limited membership to the nobility or clergy but in most cases members were recruited from the popular classes. This was obviously true in the case of peasant villages where only one or two confraternities existed.â€ pp. 22-23. In spite of the centrality of confraternities to early modern religious life in Spain there is comparatively little modern scholarly literature especially on the rural confraternities. Note the absence for example of any articles on Spain or Portugal in Brillâ€™s recently published Companion to Medieval and Early Modern Confraternities edited by Konrad Eisenbichler. This working manuscript bears witness to this central but understudied aspect of Spanish popular religious culture before the restrictions placed on confraternities by the Council of Trent and succeeding Popes. Consulted frequently and contributed to by members of the confraternity the manuscript includes abundant interlinear and marginal additions and corrections and half- or full-page later additions. The town of La Horcajada is identified in the opening page. Ff. 1r to 5v contain the introduction the first 30 statutes and a notarized testimony with heading â€œEste es traslado de un testimonioâ€ which relates to the apparently recent establishment of the confraternity. The statutes cover admission of new members general rules of comportment requirements of prayer and confession for feast days and for the canonical hours charity for poorer members of the confraternity chants etc. Several paragraphs relate to processions including required habits and admission of non-members into the processions. On f. 6r a paragraph on the procession de la Resurrection is followed by six entries numbered 32 to 37 of which paragraphs 33 to 37 are in a later 16th-century hand. Several light diagonal lines through these five paragraphs may indicate that they were cancelled. The verso f.6v contains only five lines heavily cancelled in red ink and f. 7r continues discussion of the procession of the Resurrection on a feast day the name of the saint is smudged and on Easter Sunday in a different 16th-century upright cursive. This second section of which portions are difficult to read because of fading ends on f. 7v and is followed by a note in a larger hand dated from La Horcajada 21 May 1550. The final leaf and inner back cover contain later additions some quite faded. One late addition in the lower margin of f. 5v is dated 1615. The manuscript is decorated in a popular style. Some of the leafy plant designs have a thorny look that may reflect local vegetation. Animals and grotesques include a scorpion-like creature birds and possibly imaginary mammals. A witness to the central role played by religious confraternities in early modern Spain bearing the marks of its use and in original condition it is a rare survival and would repay further study. Cf.

Carta Executoria of King Carlos II of Spain for Diego Merino de Bargas of Tornavacas and His Sons Rodrigo Francisco and Luis Merino de Bargas.

1685148310Valladolid Spain 1685. Rare 17th century elaborately illuminated nobility patent of King Carlos II of Spain for the late Diego Merino de Bargas of Tornavacas represented by two procurators and his sons Rodrigo Francisco and Luis Merino de Bargas residents of Lugar de Cavecuela. Quarto bound in early red velvet over pasteboards with red and yellow silk cord on the spine the patent is comprised of 144 leaves numbered 1-145 in contemporary Arabic numerals partially illegible ink stamps in bottom margins of each page manuscript on vellum written in italic Spanish script within a broad liquid gold border with decorated six-line cadel initials and some in text illuminations. Decorated with two full-pages of illumination depicting the Virgin standing on a crescent moon surrounded by seraphim and cherubim flanked by two kneeling men on the right and two on the left and an achievement of arms on pages 1 and 2 with a blue silk curtain between and a smaller illuminated miniature of the king on page 142. In very good condition with the illuminated pages exceptionally bright. King Carlos II of Spain 1661–1700 the last Habsburg ruler of the Spanish Empire is a pivotal figure in early modern European history due to both his personal condition and the dynastic crisis his death provoked. His reign was marked by severe political and economic decline compounded by his physical and mental disabilities which contemporary and modern historians attribute to generations of Habsburg inbreeding. Lacking a direct heir Carlos II's death triggered the War of the Spanish Succession 1701–1714 a major European conflict over control of the Spanish throne and its vast territories. His reign thus represents both the culmination of Habsburg rule in Spain and the beginning of a transformative shift in the balance of European power ultimately leading to the rise of the Bourbon dynasty under Philip V. hardcover

1572RF 1076Royal Provision of Phillip II Confirming and Ratifying the Privileges Granted by the Masters of the Order of Santiago to the Village of Corral de Almaguer Toledo 1572Manuscript. Small folio. 12 1/4 x 8 1/4". 8 double-sided vellum manuscript leaves originally bound together now unbound hand painted and decorated in blue red and gilt at various points throughout the text. The first page is hand-painted and decorated along the edge and includes a large decorative initial in multiple colors. Manuscript text in gothic style. Signed "Yo el Rey" on the back of the final leaf by King Phillip II of Spain in 1572.ATTRACTIVELY ILLUMINATED EARLY MANUSCRIPT. JUDAICA INTEREST. Our manuscript contains the 4 confirmed provisions originally drafted by Infante Henry Duke of Aragon 1421 and 1440 Alonso de Cárdenas here listed as "Alfoso" sic in 1480 and then "The Catholic Kings" in 1494 all of whom at various times served as "Grand Masters of the Order of Santiago". The provisions were instigated against the Jewish communities of the villages of Corral de Almaguer and Ocana in Toledo province. Residents of the towns affiliated with the Order of Santiago repeately complained throughout the 15th and 16th centuries to the the authorities of that order of that the Jews and later conversos had bought land from Christians and had not paid any taxes on their purchases. Ultimately the Jews of Corral de Almaguer were ordered to pay comparable taxes to the Christians for said property but the Jews of Ocana were excepted because of their previous payments of other taxes. Given the fact that this manuscript copy dates from 1572 and was signed and reconfirmed by King Phillip II so long after the expulsion of 1492 shows there were still clearly tensions and persecution of local conversos even long after the communities had converted to Catholicism.The top left margin on the front of the first leaf contains a handwritten note in ink stating in Spanish "It consists of this-privilege that Juan Collado was a secretary of the Order of Santiago in the year 1480". There are a few additional scant marginal notes in ink throughout and additional handwritten notes and signatures some indecipherable on the verso of the final leaf under the King's signature.This document provide a fascinating and invaluable resource to those studying the history of Jews in Spain during the 15th and 16th centuries.Text in Spanish. hardcover

Carta Executoria of King Philip III of Spain for Juan and Alonso de Rivera de la Cerda.

1612148287Valladolid Spain 1612. Rare 17th century elaborately illuminated nobility patent of King Philip III of Spain for the brothers Juan and Alonso de Rivera de la Cerda. Quarto bound in full leather with gilt detailing the patent is comprised of 100 leaves numbered 1-99 in contemporary Arabic numerals written in round Spanish script within a frame ruled in brown ink with decorated seven-line cadel initials and some in text illuminations.

In very good condition with the illuminated pages exceptionally bright with some wear and losses to the leather including to the crown and foot of the spine. King Philip III of Spain 1578–1621 is often regarded as a monarch who shifted the balance of power between the Spanish crown and the nobility in a more collaborative direction. Ascending to the throne at a young age Philip III relied heavily on his favorites particularly the Duke of Lerma to manage the kingdom’s affairs. This reliance on the nobility allowed them to gain significant political influence especially within the royal court. While Philip III did not possess the same autocratic control as his father Philip II his reign marked an era where the Spanish nobility enjoyed a degree of increased prominence albeit through the lens of court politics and patronage. However the resulting factionalism and the concentration of power in the hands of a few noble families eventually led to instability weakening the monarchy's control and contributing to the broader challenges faced by Spain in the early 17th century. hardcover

Yinstruction para que los Administradores de Aduanas del Reyno de Nueva Espana hagan la legitima exaccion de los dros. de Alcabalas y Pulques en los casos que por lo regular se ofrecen en las propias Aduanas. Mexico 1794. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND: In 1519 the Spaniards conquered Mexico. This led to the formation of a new state called New Spain and later into a new hybrid culture. Several military expeditions were led to extend 'New Spain'. The whole of Central America West Indies Philippines and parts of the current Texas and California were later conquered to become part of New Spain. The Spanish political control over Mexico lasted for three centuries. The entire region was formed into a viceroyalty in 1535. The colony was divided into provinces ruled by governors. These provinces were divided into departments and subdivided into districts. Magistrates controlled the districts and mayors led smaller villages. The parliament court handled all political matters and the Council of Indies controlled the other administrative matters. Off course the supreme authority over the Spanish empire belonged to the king. This system was pretty inefficient as it took several years for directives from the king to be implemented at the lower levels. During the initial administration grants called Encomiendas were given to colonists which controlled Indian labor and produce. This led to the misuse of power and atrocities against the Indians increased. The Indians revolted against the Spaniards in 1541 but were easily subdued. The Spanish emperor Charles V initiated the decline of the Encomienda system in 1542. This decline saw the emmergence of the Roman Catholic Church. The church was successful in carrying out mass conversions. The Spaniards protected the Indians that converted. Missions and monasteries dominated much of the land. The Spaniards thrived by the new found wealth in the colonies. They amassed huge wealth by controlling silver mining large ranches and estates that grew wheat sugarcane and indigo for export. Spanish merchants exported such goods as cotton silk and dye that were produced by the Indians. The prosperity of New Spain began to decline in the 17th century. Disease and natural disasters destroyed most of the Indian population. Most others migrated slowly to remote parts. Mines were abandoned and large areas of farmland were destroyed. The economy of New Spain collapsed. In 1810 a catholic priest named Miguel Hidalgo called upon Mexicans to rise up and fight the Spanish. Although father Hidalgo was killed another priest Jose Morelos continued to lead the fighting. New Spain finally won its independence from Spain in 1810 and came to be called Mexico. ; Spanish Language; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; MEXICO MEXICAN TAXES NEW SPAIN MEXICAN REVOLUTION NAPOLEON BONAPARTE CHARLES V HIDALGO MORELOS HANDWRITTEN HISTORICAL HISTORY HAND WRITTEN HOLOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT MANUSCRIPTOS SPANISH ESPANOL VICEROY mestizos repartimientos antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito papel. . hardcover

CONTRERAS, PEDRO MOYA DE -Inquisitor of New Spain, 1573Biblio.com

Arrest Warrant Issued for the Capture of Two English Pirates for Heresy and a Prison Break.

1573B556Mexico City 9th day of March1573 size 450 x 320mmSIR FRANCIS DRAKE'S ENGLISH PIRATESArrest Warrant For English Pirates Signed By The First Inquisitor of New Spain in 1573Remarkable arrest warrant signed by the Inquisitor of New Spain directing the arrest and capture of 5 accused heretics including two English Pirates who had recently completed a daring jail break from prison in Mexico City.This is an official arrest warrant dated March 9 1573 ordered by Pedro Moya de Contreras c. 1528-1591 first inquisitor of the newly founded Mexican Inquisition addressed to Don Alonso Sánchez de Miranda Dean of Guadalajara.Moya de Contreras arrived in New Spain in 1571 as the newly appointed inquisitor thereafter rising to the office of Archbishop of Mexico City and finally Viceroy of New Spain 1584-1585. This two-fold letter is part of the legacy of the Inquisition in the New World aimed at ecclesiastical authorities and their flock to raise awareness of the rampant menace of Lutheran individuals in Mexico.Following the failed attempt by the fabled pirates Francis Drake and John Hawkins to seize San Juan de Ulúa in 1568 about 500 mostly English pirates remained stranded in New Spain. Over the course of the next several years these 500 scattered throughout Mexico where they intermingled with the locals. Some 77 of these fell into the hands of Luis Carvajal the elder alcalde mayor of Tampico. Carvajal a converso was the patriarch of the Carvajal family which was later tragically tortured and murdered by the Inquisition as crypto-Jews. They were delivered to Mexico City as prisoners of war and were given relatively minor sentences of forced labor in various places throughout Mexico.With the arrival of Moya de Contreras in 1571 the remaining pirates were no longer considered as mere prisoners of war but as heretics - "Luteranos" - and as such subject to the Inquisition's regulations. In 1572 Pedro Moya de Contreras issued a general order for all remnants of the Hawkins expedition to be apprehended and put to trial in New Spain. As a result about 36 were again rounded up captured and condemned for heresy. This group was processed through the Inquisition's court where they were subjected to a grand auto-da-fe in 1574 the largest ever held.Three of these pirates are mentioned in Moya's letter to Don Alonso Sánchez de Miranda:"Guillermo de Siles a Frenchman of 24 years of age small in height with pale features with little growth of hair on his face small blue eyes .""Pablo Haquines de la Cruz Paul Hawkins an Englishman who came with the armada of John Hawkins with sturdy shoulders and pale features with little growth of hair on his face of about 20 years of age .""Andres Martin Andrew Martin an Englishman with those from the said armada young man without growth of hair tall and slim with pale features of about 18 years of age."The three had escaped from the Jail of the Inquisitor by burrowing under the walls of the cell in the middle of the night an escape which was apparently previously unrecorded. The arrest warrant provides that should anyone contravene the order or give aid to these heretics they will face the prospect of "latae sentenciae excommunication" including the sequestration of their possessions.The actions of Pedro Moya de Contreras at that time under the supervision of Pedro de los Ríos chief inquisitor in Mexico clearly reflect all new precepts and creeds from the Tridentine Council 1545-1563 brought along to the New World to reform the Catholic faith.The following is an English Translation of the arrest warrant provided by Boris Bruton:We doctor don Pedro Moya de Contreras apostolic inquisitor against vile heresy and apostasy for the city of Mexico and Provinces of New Spain by our authority apostolic etc. order you Reverend don Alonso Sanchez de Miranda dean of Guadalajara commissary of this Holy Office to arrest the persons of Gomes de Leon his Majesty's servant or His Majesty's scribe resident of Puebla de Los Angeles a man of about 30 years old very fair of complexion of a good height wearing breeches with a short green cape; and Francisco Gonzales captain resident of Toluca elderly man of about 50 years grey-haired short in size scant beard hooked nose and tanned as though coming from the mountains dressed all in black.

Signature of Viceroy Bucareli in ink on the final page.Modern stiff marbled paper covers leaves remargined in order to match the size of the volume. In linen made-to-measure case with title on front.Very rare first and only edition of the founding document for the establishment of the Corps of Invalids in the Viceroyalty of New Spain. This Royal ordinance marks a crucial step in the military organisation of the Spanish Americas and greatly expanded the colonial military presence there. The Cuerpo de Invalidos consisted of men not fit for field duty due to injury illness or advanced age. They were assigned to the defence and custody of the coasts and borders of the Viceroyalty of New Spain a massive area stretching from Panama to Alaska including California and Mexico. They also served as guardians of the most prolific national buildings. This military reform took place in the context of a major administrative restructuring of the Spanish Americas under King Carlos III known as the Bourbon Reforms. The Spanish Crown established a standing overseas military Including the Cuerpo de Invalidos with the aim of defending its colonial territories. Carlos III created the first Corps of Invalids in Spain in 1764 with the aim of providing a dignified old age to those disabled for active service. With the creation of this type of units the Crown benefited those people who were under its orders for years. Thus far from completely separating them from their functions and in addition to giving them monetary compensation they were kept working and being participants in the life of their community. They were not separated or discriminated against and they were considered capable and that they could continue to participate in society. Also having a Corps of Invalids in the colonies gave the oppressor a significantly larger presence on the streets because men who were not active soldiers were still able to wear a uniform. The person to carry out the reforms and signee of the present document was Viceroy Antonio María de Bucareli y Ursúa marqués de Valleheroso y conde de Jerena who served from 1771 to 1779. The present ordinance provides the rules and regulations of the Corps in 37 points.Condition: inscription in ink in head margin of title-page. Minor repairs to leaf A2.

"This "provisional" decree of 31 March 1569 was abolished by an ordinance of 27 October 1570 of Philips II. Marine insurances were again allowed. Ships could only leave the port with the permission of an officer after an inspection of their armament. This decree also charged that all policies should contain a detailed report of the goods on board. Diego Gonzalez Gante was appointed to inspect these contracts. He also had to prepare an new instruction. This decree contained as well a formulary of an marine insurance. After a petition of the merchants and Nations of Antwerp a new ordinance was promulgated three months later on 20 January 1571. This decree provided that only ten percent remained to the own risk of the insurance taker. The goods the name of the vessel and the captain had to be mentioned in the insurance policy. To prevent fraud Diego Gonzalez Gante was also appointed to control everything. An insurance policy which was not recorded by him was to be declared null and void.

WAR MEMOIR, SPAIN – MONTVAILLANT, H deBiblio.com

Manuscript memoir of a French officer's experiences during the Napoleonic Wars in Spain 1808-1809. Title: Recollections / By / H de Montvaillant

18142677Hunthill House Scotland 1814. Written in English in a small and narrow but legible italic hand with occasional corrections or additions in a different hand on wove paper watermarked Budgen & Wilmott / 1812. Four unnumbered pages of French text at front and four at back the latter dated 27 May 1814 in a different hand apparently the authorâ€™s on different paper with no visible watermark. Very good; some occasional spotting. Contemporary red straight-grained morocco gilt edges scuffed and scraped joints strained head of spine chipped. An unpublished first-hand memoir filled with searing descriptions of the horrors of war by a French army officer veteran of the terrible Peninsular War.Â The narrator was one of few survivors of the surrender of French forces after the Battle of BailÃ©n in July 1808. The background to this event was Napoleon's attempt to complete the isolation of England from the continent by sending a French army into the Iberian PeninsulaÂ to occupy Portugal and Spain thereby preventing British trade with the Continent.Â Â Napoleon later referred to the Peninsular War characterized by appalling cruelty on both sides as the â€˜Spanish ulcerâ€™; it was to be one of the primary factors in his downfall.Â General Pierre Dupont de l'Ã‰tang was charged with securing French control of the major cities in Spain. Dupont's 20000 men had initial success but as they penetrated deeper into Spain they faced increasing resistance. This memoir by H. de Montvaillant an 18-year-old Protestant officer from Montpellier who was serving in the second Corps dâ€™Observation of the Gironde recounts the route and experiences of Dupont's army to its furthest point of penetration into Spain: CÃ³rdoba. There after a particularly bloody and cruel occupation the army was forced to withdraw and was soon overwhelmed. Dupont surrendered his army at BailÃ©n. Originally promised safe passage most of the French were slaughtered immediately after their surrender. Montvaillantâ€™s account commences with the French arrival in Bayonne in November 1807. By December 22 the French troops had arrived in the town of Vittoria 50 miles west of Pamplona and by January 9 1808 they had advanced to south of Burgos. Detailed descriptions of the monuments churches libraries art and inhabitants of various localities passed through in their zigzagging progress south through French-occupied Spain enliven this first part of Montvaillantâ€™s narrative: he describes with evident pleasure Burgos Valladolid Guadarrama and the Escorial Madrid and Toledo where the troops spent most of May. He makes the acquaintance of many Spaniards. In Toledo a young woman explains to him the contradictions of Spanish women rendered emotionally susceptible by their extreme religious devotion but whose sometimes shocking to the French frankness contrasts with a strict sexual morality. Later he deplores the time wasted in Toledo while the Spanish insurgents were building up their strength. As the French troops proceed southward the local populations exhibit increasing hostility often hidden under excessive politeness. They encounter a Frenchwoman who has fled BailÃ©n saying that she was not safe there because of her nationality but the soldiers assume that she exaggerates. By the end of May the French pass the Sierra Morena and enter Andalusia and the truth becomes evident. It is at this point that the narrative takes on an ominous tone. Montvaillant notes that the population had abandoned the villages taking all foodstuffs. He records that the senior officers had assumed that the army would only be harassed by small bands of â€œbrigandsâ€ a far cry from the massive resistance that it encountered: â€œWe learned that the insurgents each day gathered strength and that the Junta of Seville was determined to stop us in our March. The following day we got to the little town Baylen in whose plains two months afterwards our destiny was decidedâ€ p. 86. The first battle was engaged at AlcolÃ©a just upstream from CÃ³rdoba an event Montvaillant describes in a poem in French transcribed. The next day the French arrived at CÃ³rdoba where the Spanish enemy had taken refuge. A musketry attack upon their arrival so enraged General Dupont that â€œhe gave up the town to pillage" p. 88. Allowed to run wild the French soldiers sacked the city committing hideous crimes: â€œNeither tears promises or humble supplications could arrest the thirst for pillage.â€ p. 89. Discipline was nonexistent drunkenness and looting continued for eight days. The soldiers raped the women and ransacked homes. Montvaillant presents himself as a savior of women and the elderly on several occasions but notes that some of the Spanish whom he and fellow officers placed under protection in CÃ³rdoba were later â€œthe first to persecute the unprotected French prisoners and even those who had been their Benefactorsâ€ p. 92. While he does not detail the contents of the soldiersâ€™ plunder it is known that the rich churches of CÃ³rdoba were heavily looted. Notwithstanding the circumstances he manages to visit and describes in amazement the great mosque-cathedral scarcely changed in a thousand years. Nine days after the French entrance into CÃ³rdoba Montvaillant and his troops were ordered back to Alcolea to guard a bridge crossing. En route there from CordÃ³ba he discovered and graphically describes the many mutilated corpses of the French sick and wounded who had been left along the line of march while the main body of General Dupont's troops had taken CÃ³rdoba. â€œIt is almost incredible how people calling themselves Christians could push inhumanity to such an excessâ€ p. 96. The army moved back to AndÃºjar near BailÃ©n and encamped. Montvaillant records that the general staff had by now realized that the French were outnumbered and that the opposition had organized itself. Dupont's army was isolated without hope of reinforcement or re-supply defending a garrison situated on a flat plain in the scorching sun. The narrative becomes one of revenge heat troop dispositions losses tactical mistakes errors of the general staff and increasing difficulties.Â Dupont's surrender came on July 20 1808 and thus begins the second part of the memoir devoted to the narratorâ€™s experiences as a prisoner of war.Â The officers were segregated from the defeated army before being escorted supposedly to return to France. Most of the army was slaughtered within days. Montvaillant records details of the survivorsâ€™ months-long â€œdeath marchâ€ southwards to the coast. Having finally arrived at Jerez de la Frontera near CÃ¡diz to await embarkation to France they waited in vain. Their captors kept them in Jerez having discovered that the ruling Junta of Seville had abrogated the surrender treaty and that the inhabitants were planning to massacre them on their approach to CÃ¡diz. Montvaillantâ€™s account is henceforth devoted to anecdotes of captivity and of the prisonerâ€™s horrendous treatment at the hands of their escorts and guards. He is unclear as to exact dates but it seems that the French captives were held at Jerez until mid-December and then hastily driven aboard ships to sail for the Balearic Islands. A severe storm intervened and they were blown off course to Africa finally coming to port at Gibraltar; several days later they were blown back to Andalusia at MÃ¡laga. After more storms and much sailing having been at sea 25 days for a voyage which normally took a week they finally made the Balearics.Â And here the worst surprise of many bad surprises awaited them: the desert island of Cabrera. Montvaillant counts some 4000 soldiers and 400 officers who were forced to survive as best they could on this scorching hot nearly waterless uninhabited island p. 148. Details of his account square with Denis Smithâ€™s monograph on the subject. During the next four years close to 9400 French prisoners of war were exiled to this island; possibly 40% died of disease or malnutrition. The officers as usual fared much better than their soldiers. Montvaillant was one of 216 officers who were collected from this exile after a month and taken to the capital Palma p. 150; another group was sent to Mahon in Minorca. There imprisoned in better circumstances the group waited although the news from outside was threatening as the Spanish "mobs" were calling for their "sacrifice." The officers between attempting escapes were able to conjure up some distractions. The narrator passed the time translating Spanish poems and plays and spending up to eight hours at a stretch playing chess. They also freely imbibed the good Mallorcan wine danced and partied; making do without women Bacchus presided as he delicately puts it. But nearly half these officers were massacred during a riot and assault on the prison by the inhabitants of Palma described by Montvaillant in gory detail pp. 158-162. The survivors were returned to Cabrera in March 1810 as were the officers from Mahon. They found there a diminished population of half-naked walking skeletons. During the next five months spent on Cabrera Montvaillant was nonetheless able to observe a thriving â€œpolitical economyâ€ on the island where enough food was still provided that the prisoners had the energy for theater productions and dances. Describing the gender-bending that took place as the men playing female roles in the performances instinctively took on conventionally feminine attitudes even to the point of inspiring crushes bickering and jealousy among the audience members Montvaillant comments that the theatrical chronicle of Cabrera would make quite a book â€un bel in folioâ€- p. 170. In early August Montvaillant and the officers were removed from the island on an English ship â€” all unhesitatingly leaving their men to rot on the island where they remained for four more years. A diplomatic impasse kept the officers off the coast at Gibraltar for several weeks until they were finally put on ships for Portsmouth and Plymouth. Montvaillaint went on to Salisbury for a short time and then embarked again for Leith en route to his final destination in Scotland where he remained in comfortable exile until the accession of Louis XVIII in 1814.Â The text is written in an occasionally stilted English a translation from the authorâ€™s own French account by a family whom he had befriended at Hunthill House near Jedburgh Scotland where he stationed. Eight pages of notes in French by the author are inserted four pages at the beginning the bifolium is inserted using wax seals and four pages at the end. The French preface contains a romanticized account of the authorâ€™s Scottish sojourn including a temptress fairy and concludes with the authorâ€™s promise to never forget his friends in Scotland. The English text is preceded by the title-leaf and a one-page dedicatory poem introduced by a statement that these â€œ`Recollectionsâ€™ in an English Garb are presented by the sincerest of Friends to the Authorâ€ and dated Hunt Hill 1 January 1814. Following the narrative in a letter to his family dated from Jedburgh 27 May 1814 Montvaillant explains the history of the manuscript the remaining pages contain literary notes including translations into French of poems by Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. During his years of exile in Jedburgh Montvaillant had become deeply attached to the owners of Hunthill House and to their three daughters. Without them he claims he would not have survived the loneliness of his exile. In homage and gratitude he dedicated his memoir to them. His friends retained the original French version as a keepsake of their friend and an engrossing biographical narrative and presented him with this translation which he brought back to France planning to render it anew into French to share with his family and close friends. He emphasizes that he plans to keep the manuscript unpublished; perhaps the memories were too painful.Â Cf.

1557649ED93VJP3OThe Hague and Brussels 1557. Folio 36 x 25.5 cm. Manuscript mortgage agreement signed by King Philips representatives written in brown ink on parchment in a nearly upright cursive gothic hand with about 36 lines per page in a text block measuring about 25.5 x 18 cm. With a typescript transcription of the main text in red and an interlinear translation in Spanish in black by Prof. Dr. Edgard Verheyden. 2 blank 9 1 blank pp. Original mortgage agreement in Dutch in which King Philip II of Spain who had sovereignty over the Low Countries and held the title Count of Holland grants Jan Hanneman the rights to the tithes from his lands of Voorburg and Voorschoten. Philip had succeeded to the Spanish crown the year before on the abdication of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and the present elegantly written text explains that he and the Spanish Government wish to ameliorate their "very large and excessive debts" it later speaks of 300000 guilders which would be 50000 Flemish pounds resulting from years of war the building and maintenance of many fortifications and the salaries of the troops so the King wishes to mortgage or sell some of his royal domains and the rights to tithes that go with them. Efforts in 1556 had not yielded enough. Spain was later able to finance the wars with treasures from the colonies most famously transported in the annual silver fleet beginning in 1566 but here a decade earlier the King was desperate for funds.Formerly folded. In very good condition but with the sewing recent and rather loose. A primary source for Spain's financial state in 1557 and for the history of Voorburg and Voorschoten. unknown

No. 11 of 13 copies printed on vellum there were also 88 copies printed on paper. Title with vignette numerous woodcut illustrations and large initial capitals. 1 vols. Folio 12-3/4 x 8-7/8 in.; 32.4 x 22.5 cm. This work consists of two important ordinances issued by the Spanish monarchy on November 20 1542 and June 4 1543. Under the active influence of Bartolomeo de las Casas "friend of the Indians" the new laws had the special design of ensuring better treatment of the Indians limiting the distribution of their lands and above all protecting them against enslavement by the conquering Spaniards. "Las Leyes Nuevas" are reprinted here in this fine facsimile from the copy on vellum in the British Museum and are followed by an English translation. Much of the book is taken up by the historical Introduction by Henry Stevens who denounces the Spanish mistreatment of the Indians. Ironically the Spanish crown was later forced to rescind the new laws by colonists who were outraged at having to give up their right to a quota of enslaved Indian laborers. A magnificent and impressive production by the Chiswick Press one of only 13 printed on vellum. Chiswick Press unknown
