réf. 15076Queen 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. 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. 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

Charles William Doyle 17701842 ordered this work to be printed. Doyle was an Irish-born British lieutenant-colonel who in 1808 was ordered to Portugal to help fight Napoleon in the Peninsular Campaign. He very successfully aided the Spanish army in instilling discipline and organizing light infantry and was made a lieutenant general in the Spanish army. In 1811 Britain ordered him home but when he reached Cadiz Sir Henry Wellesley convinced him to command a camp at which a new army was being organized for action in the south of Spain. Again he was highly successful in his military instruction of new troops and as a result was promoted to full colonel in the British army; he remained in Spain till the end of the war in 1814. The present work extracted from the larger one of the same title printed at Madrid by the Imprenta Real in 1808 was clearly printed for the instruction of Doyle's southern army.

Searches of NUC WorldCat and the CCPBE locate => only three copies worldwide of which only one is in the U.S. West Point. Provenance: Contemporary signature of "Velez" on title-page. Not in Palau.
