Early teacher License Spain
A Young Woman's Teaching License 1891 Granted under the Royal Houses of Castilla y Lyon
Spain-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

Queen Isabella of Spain
Queen Isabella Signs a Document Only 2 Months After Issuing the Decree of 1501 Intensifying the Spanish Inquisition
Queen of Castile 1474-1504 and a Catholic Monarch who ruled jointly with her husband Ferdinand II of Aragon. 1 page Document Signed "Yo La Reina" at the top of the page and dated December 1501. The Spanish Inquisition was originally intended in large part to ensure the Catholic orthodoxy of those who converted from Judaism and Islam. This regulation of the faith of the newly converted was intensified after the royal decrees issued in 1492 and 1501 mandated that Jews and Muslims convert to Catholicism or face exile from Spain. <br/><br/>While the Spanish Inquisition had begun in 1478 it was in full force by the time of this document's creation. With the goal of cleansing all non Catholic sentiment from the Spanish nation King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella issued the Edict of Alhambra that required the force exile of all non-Catholics from Spain. The additional decree issued in October of 1501 further mandated the public destruction of non-Christian texts.<br/><br/>This Document Signed is dated only two months later in the months when the Spanish began to enact trials questioning and enforcement of the banishment of non-Catholics. It marks an important moment in history. Mounting tape marks on verso. Document has minor age related toning and fold lines not affecting text. Some writing also wraps onto the verso fold. Measures approximately 8x11". In very good condition. unknown books

Spain. Laws statutes etc.
Recopilacion de leyes de los reinos de las Indias.
Madrid: Boix 1841. Small folio. 4 vols. in 2. I: 6 ff. 335 1 blank pp. II: 1 f. 334 i.e. 332 pp. 1 index f. III: 1 f. 319 1 blank pp. 1 f. IV:1 f. 147 1 blank pp. 1 f.; 105 1 31 1 pp. all indices. <br><br>Handsome mid-19th century edition of the first comprehensive compilation of the laws of the Spanish Indies. Antonio Rodríguez de León Pinello compiled it by 1635 but it circulated only in manuscript until Fernando Jiménez de Paniagua brought it up to date and saw the result through the press in 1681. Prior to the publication of this massive work it was common practice for lawyers and courts in the various legal districts of the New World i.e. audiencias to compile in manuscript the laws in force in order that they might be used as precedents. Upon publication of this code the number of precedents did not as might have been expected decrease via "regularization" but instead increased: The courts continued to accept the cases and laws on point in the old local manuscript compilations and also those contained in the Recopilación! In sum this is a major work for all collections of international and Hispanic-specific law.<br>Â Â Â Â The first edition is very uncommon in today's marketplace meaning most scholars and collectors must settle for a later edition such as this fifth which has the happy advantage of being handsomely printed in double-column format. This copy is attractively bound as well. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Palau 137466; Sabin 68390. Victorian acid-stained sheep with gilt spines extra. Tape adhered to title-pages at inner margin; some other old repairs. Ownership signatures on title-page. All edges marbled. A nice set. Boix unknown books

Guatemala: Spain Laws Statutes
CON FECHAS DE 18 DE SETIEMBRE 14 20 Y 25 DE OCTUBRE Y 10 DE NOVIEMBRE DEL AÑO PROXIMO PASADO ME HA DIRIGIDO EL EXCMO. SR. SECRETARIO DE ESTADO Y DEL DESPACHO DE LA GOBERNACION DE ULTRAMAR LAS LEYES DECRETADAS POR LAS CÒRTES Y SANCIONADAS POR S.M. Y LAS REALES ÓRDENES DE REMISION QUE À LA LETRA SIGUEN caption title
Guatemala 1821. 18pp. Small folio. Stitched. Ink stains and dust soiling on final leaf verso. Light foxing and dampstaining. Very good. A Guatemalan imprint of several decrees passed by the Spanish legislative assembly the Còrtes in 1820. The assembly existed for three years from 1820 to 1822 during the so-called Trienio Liberal when a military coup forced Ferdinand VII to institute a more liberal form of government. He eventually defeated those forces with the aid of the French and re-established an absolute monarchy. The decrees included here order pensions to be granted to those families who suffered for their adherence to the Constitution first promulgated in 1812 and offers amnesty to all those who were forced to emigrate from Spain because of their political views among other actions. The longest decree addresses enrollments in the Spanish navy and the provision of men for Spanish warships. The final leaf bears the printed signature of Gavino GaÃÂnza who at this point was the head of the Spanish provincial and military government in Guatemala but who later in 1821 would sign the Act of Independence of Central America and declare the country's independence from Spain. Rare not in Medina or OCLC. unknown books

Ferdinand VII King of Spain
ROYAL SEAL OF FERDINAND VII 1808
Madrid 1808. Small sheet folded into a square 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches. A few small worm holes one larger at bottom left corner not affecting seal. 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. This seal must date from the short period that Ferdinand was king in 1808 from March to May. 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. He then ruled until 1833 during which time Spain lost most of its overseas colonial territories to local revolution. unknown books
