Sumptuously illustrated 18th-century manuscript nobility patent carta ejecutoria de hidalguia commissioned by the De la Barra family of Castile to memorialize the recognition of its noble status in the reign of Philip V King of Spain. As depicted in the illustrated family tree and noted at the opening of the text the family traces their noble ancestry back through five generations to Don Bartholome de la Barra y Zuñiga. "During the late medieval era many individuals received the honor of hidalgo status the lowest rank of nobility but with the passage of time this noble status was not always locally recognized. If a person or family was willing to submit a documented family history to local officials of the Chamber of Hijosdalgo of the Chancellery Court of either Valladolid of Granada they could sue for formal recognition" Neary. While few succeeded in these suits those who did would often commission luxury copies of the paperwork bound with the royal seal. While customized for each family the text and images of these nobility patents follow a standardized template which must elaborate on three key themes: religious devotion; service to the crown; and purity of blood limpieza de sangre. The latter required that the family demonstrate the absence of Jewish Muslim or "heretical" ancestry. As is commonly the case the present example opens with an image of the Virgin Mary here receiving the devotion of four members of the De la Barra family depicted on their knees before a sumptuously appointed church altar. The facing image depicts the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove looking down upon the infant Jesus. The other full-page miniatures depict the De la Barra family tree; their coat of arms King Philip V; and the royal coat of arms. The richly illuminated bands contain the names of De la Barra family members or introduce key sequences in the presentation and disposition of the suit. The final four pages of text comprise an official copy of the court's final decision. Penned in an ordinary scribal hand this concluding document was usually written on paper; in the present case the declaration appears on parchment at the special request of the family. The document is signed by Santiago Alcalde y Linares royal notary escribano and dated 3 July 1721. Provenance: The engraved bookplates of C. L. F. Robinson Newport Rhode Island and Mary MacMillin Norton appear on the opening blank leaf. Charles L. F.
