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

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

Costituzione Politica della Monarchia Spagnuola Promulgata in Cadice il 19 Marzo 1812. Piacenza: Dai Tipi d'Ignazio Orcesi 1814. 72 pp. Octavo 6" x 4". Stab-stitched pamphlet bound into recent paper-covered boards lettering piece to spine. Moderate toning negligible faint dampstaining to head of text block and upper outside corners in a few places. $650. Very rare Piacenza printing based on the translation that had appeared in Milan in the same year of the short-lived but influential Spanish constitution of 1812 one of the first attempts to construct a codified constitutional monarchy which applied not only to Spain but to the Spanish holdings in South America and the Philippines and gave Spanish citizenship to the natives of any territory that belonged to the Spanish monarchy but not necessarily those of African descent who could acquire citizenship through naturalization. This constitution was driven by the need to give legitimacy to the newly installed Joseph Bonaparte as king. Although it was repealed shortly after the restoration in 1814 of Ferdinand VII its influence was widespread. It was the model for the constitutions of Norway in 1814 and Mexico in 1824. A number of Italian printings appeared in several varying translations between 1812 and 1814. Our Piacenza printing is one of the rarest. OCLC locates 1 copy University of Turin Italy. unknown
