1626Best.-Nr. 5681Lima 1626. Still very good. 62 i.e. 61 leaves. Folio. Limp vellum ruled and lettered in ink; edges sprinkled red and black. Some creasing and staining to vellum. Small tissue repair to first leaf of text. Occasional dampstaining and foxing. Accomplished in a highly legible hand. An outstanding and minutely-detailed colonial Spanish patent of nobility accomplished in Lima in the early part of the 17th century and illustrated with two full-page coats of arms. This patent was commissioned by one Cristóbal de Villalobos y Lara corregidor or mayor of the Province of Yampares a province in Bolivia in the Department of Chuquisaca. The office of corregidor was a municipal position although the office holder was also required to assist the army in times of war. Among the many duties of this position were to promote and to carry out all manner of public works maintain health standards and the police force verify weights and measures avoid contraband and prohibited merchandise and in general observe and impose commercial standards. The patent of nobility was a highly formal official document which not only confirmed the noble rank of the recipient but also could grant certain privileges commensurate with rank. As a result the form was highly stylized structured and often quite lengthy -- the text of the present example runs to nearly 120 pages and traces the lineage of Villalobos y Lara for generations generously assessing his claims to nobility. The outstanding features of the document are the two full-page illustrations of the new nobles' coats of arms on the initial two leaves accomplished in gouache and gilt. Each shield features differing emblems in four quarters lies on a folial background and is headed by a knight's helmet. The second illustration also features a depiction of St. Sebastian and a knight on horseback who is trampling what appear to be smiling peasants. Patents of nobility from colonial Spanish America from this early date are very rare on the market and the present example has survived in fine condition. unknown books

1700Best.-Nr. ABC_50128Spain 1700. Contemporary elaborately gold-tooled red morocco sewn on six supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine the gold-tooling is built up from numerous impressions of small pointillé tools creating a large intricate centrepiece within two detailed frames gold-tooled board edges and turn-ins marbled pastedowns and gilt edges. Folio. With an elaborately decorated letterpress title page the letters of the title are highlighted in blue red gold and silver and are surrounded by a contemporary hand-drawn hand-coloured and highlighted in gold and silver floral frame in the same style as the other floral borders in this work including equally decorated arms of the Echeniques y Aguirres family. All text is set within woodcut borders incorporating the familys coat of arms the borders show two different floral designs which are repeated throughout the work. All borders are vividly coloured by a contemporary hand and highlighted in gold and silver. Rare ejecutorias de hidalguía of the Echeniques y Aguirres family. The work is beautifully bound in contemporary richly gold-tooled morocco and it is handsomely decorated throughout with contemporary hand-coloured borders which are highlighted in gold and silver. Among the most impressive legal artefacts produced in early modern Spain are the ejecutorias de hidalguía royal documents issued when a family had successfully proven its noble status before the highest courts of the kingdom. These richly ornamented works are far more than dry legal records: they preserve genealogies heraldic descriptions testimonies of limpieza de sangre purity of blood and the voices of neighbours and officials who vouched for a familys lineage. They were the final seal that converted a favourable verdict into a binding hereditary right. The present work is dated 24 July 1664 and comprising 233 pages. It opens with a hand-painted title page bearing the family arms and every leaf is bordered with coloured decoration. The Echenique y Aguirre family originated in Erratzu a village in the Baztan Valley of Navarre. Martín de Echenique and María de Aguirre both natives of the valley were the parents of five sons Lorenzo Juan the elder Juan Pedro and another Juan whose activities spread across the Iberian Peninsula. From their home region the brothers established themselves in Madrid Pamplona Seville and elsewhere forming part of the thriving network of Basque and Navarrese merchants.In 1659 the brothers petitioned for their heraldic rights to be formally confirmed. The Rey de Armas Bernardo de Fonseca y Pinto issued an official grant later certified by herald Rodrigo Méndez Silva combining elements from the Errazuriz Echenique and Aguirre lineages. The resulting arms featured the iconic black-and-white chequered pattern of the Baztan Valley enhanced with chevrons gold fields and coloured bands. Although later heraldists noted that this composition was more elaborate than the traditional local arms such embellishment was typical of mid-17th-century grants where royal heralds often produced grander shields at the clients request. By royal order the five brothers were authorised to use these arms freely on seals rings chapels tombs and household objects in this work the arms are displayed on every leaf.It records the full proceedings of the lengthy trial brought before the kingdoms senior judiciary. It opens with the royal heading of King Philip IV followed by the legal narrative of the case heard first by the mayors of the High Court then by the Regents and the Royal Council.The opposing party was none other than the municipal authorities of the Tierra y Valle de Baztán who challenged the brothers claim. The result preserved in this volume was a firm royal recognition of the Echenique y Aguirre lineage as noble in perpetuity.The present work is bound in sumptuous contemporary red morocco its boards covered with intricate gold tooling arranged in the refined pointillé and a petit fers French-inspired style of the second half of the 17th-century. The tooling is reminiscent of the work of celebrated French and Dutch binders like le Gascon only known by this nickname Florimond Badier and Albert Magnus.With a later pencil annotation on the first flyleaf providing a brief bibliographical or descriptive note about the content and significance of the work and stating the year 1657. Pages 232-233 bear the date 24 July 1664 along with the signatures of the royal authorities and members of the Echeniques y Aguirres family page 233 includes a large royal blind stampits verso is covered by a separate piece of paper with a manuscript note presumably by the official issuing the stamp signed by a certain Juan.
