1841Best.-Nr. 3584Madrid: 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. 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. 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. Palau 137466; Sabin 68390. Victorian acid-stained sheep with gilt spines extra. Tape adhered to title-pages at inner margin; some other old repairs.

1821Best.-Nr. WRCAM51825Guatemala 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 Gaínza 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

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.

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
