73m33: [identification of item], Collection on Manuscript Documents from Spain, 1139-1798, University of Kentucky Special Collections.
Collection is intellectually arranged into 19 series by 50-year increments and/or by undated centuries. Items are listed within series by document date. Documents are physically numbered in the sequential order in which they were originally cataloged (which was miscellaneous) and are housed in boxes in this number order. Patrons must know the item number and box number to be able to locate a specific document. The item numbers in this finding aid are not consecutive, because of the re-arrangement of the collection chronologically.
The elements of each document's description are: type of document; author/sender; recipient; date of the document; place of origin; incipit, or first words of the document (presented in quotation marks); general topic of the item; type of material (vellum or parchment); and number of leaves the item comprises. No indication is normally given when the material is paper. When any portion of the information is not available, it is omitted. When there is more than one document in a single folder, the additional documents therein are inventoried with alphabetical sub-designations.
The inventory of the collection was first begun in 1977 by Judith S. Conde, David G. Burton, and J. Drake Smisson. Their partial findings were published in
An index of names in alphabetical order represented in the collection is included in the paper finding aid/occassional paper to the collection, available in the repository.
The Collection on Manuscript Documents from Spain (dated 1139-1798; 5.85 cubic feet; 921 items) includes legal documents, ecclesiastical records, and personal papers in Latin, Spanish, Catalan, French, and Italian generated by Spanish dukes, counts, clerics, students, merchants, property owners, and many others. It also includes documents, edicts, and decrees endorsed or initiated by several Spanish kings including Ferdinand the Catholic (Ferdinand V); King Peter of Aragon; Philip II, Philip III, Philip IV, and Philip V; and Charles I, Charles, II, Charles III, and Charles IV. A few of the documents are signed by kings and princes, including numbers 153, 418, and 470 (Felipe IV); 158 and 161 (Felipe V); 698 (Felipe II); and 694 (Prince Carlos, son of Philip II). Other notables that appear frequently in this collection include the Duque de Abrantes, the Conde de Aguilar, the Marqués de Montealegre, the Conde de Oñate, and the Duque de Sesar. A complete index of personal names can be found in the Special Collections Research Room.
A large portion of the collection consists of legal documents such as wills, bills of sale, and property transfers. Other materials include personal letters, marriage announcements, personal tributes, appointments, and genealogical records. The oldest document is number 753, dated 1139. The largest document is number 672, which is 58 cm by 64 cm. Document number 755 was written on February 15, 1212, five months before the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, the last stand of Muslims versus Christians.
Taken as a whole, this diverse group of documents the opportunity to study Spanish history and culture, linguistics, social mores, and economy from the twelfth through eighteenth centuries.
Acquired by former Director of Libraries Dr. Lawrence Thompson around 1958 from Mr. José Porter, a leading Barcelona bookseller and antiquarian bibliographer.
