Top portion of seal text obscured by residual wax. Good. Paper seal intended for use on Spanish government documents and letters by the King Ferdinand VII in 1808.

His predecessor Charles IV had abdicated after a popular uprising and Napoléon forced Ferdinand to stand down after only two months. Ferdinand was kept prisoner in France until 1813 when he was eventually restored to the throne.

16080Spain-A 10 pesetas revenue stamp imprint in a license granted to a 21 year old female teacher for primary school education on vellum with ornate border coat of arms Castilla y Leon by order of His Majesty The King and the "Governing Queen of the Kingdom." Madrid 1891.<br/><br/>This license was granted during the unstable period between the First and Second Republic when the Monarchy ruled with a tenuous grasp and educational reform remained in constant flux between the agendas of liberals and conservatives. Secondary and higher education received the most true reform however all would later fall into the iron grasp of General Primo de Rivera and his military government in 1923. For nearly a century leading up to the time this license was issued Spain had struggled to fulfill a promise to its people to provide education. Like most nations during the 19th century it found the fulfillment in that promise to lie in employment of female teachers. unknown books

Four contracts between the sundry kings of Spain and certain conquistadors. "The agreements are with Rodrigo de Bastidas of Santo Domingo for the colonization of the Province and Port of Santa Marta in 1524 with Don Gonzalo Ximinez de Quesada in 1569 for the discovery of the New Kingdom of Granada with Captain Don Diego Fernandez de Cerpa in 1568 for the discovery and colonisation of the province of La Guayana Caura and New Andaluzia and with Panfilo de Narvaez in 1526 for the discovery of Florida" - BIBLIOTHECA AMERICANA. The terms of the agreements generally discuss rights granted by the Crown to the relevant explorer and stipulate what the explorer is required to provide the Crown in return. Gold and other precious metals top the lists. When originally catalogued by Maggs the official signature at the end of the last agreement was attributed to Baltasar Lopez de Castro; but on the original cataloguing present with the text a later hand has suggested Antonio Fernandez de Castro. <br> <br> Good evidence of the terms under which the conquistadors operated in the New World including Florida.

An early Spanish confraternity manuscript containing the rules and statutes that governed the Confraternity of the Holy Cross referred to as the Cofradía 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 León in the province of Ávila. 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 "studies 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 brotherhood' even small villages of 500 inhabitants. A similar pattern prevailed in villages around Toledo during the late sixteenth century" Callahan pp. 18-19.In his article on Spanish confraternities William Callahan further points out their popular nature which "arose 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." 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 Brill'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 "Este es traslado de un testimonio" 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.

Folio 12-3/4 x 8-7/8 in.; 32.4 x 22.5 cm. One of 13 Copies on Vellum. 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. <br/><br/>"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.<br/><br/>A magnificent and impressive production by the Chiswick Press one of only 13 printed on vellum.
