AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Interesting legal manuscript from the Spanish Golden Age (reign of Philip III), dated in Zamora on August 7, 1607, almost three decades before the introduction of stamped paper in Spain. It is a complete booklet of 22 pages on handmade rag-laid paper, entirely drafted in medieval Castilian. The document combines two caligraphic styles of the period: the cover headings in a clean archival humanistic script (summarizing the legal matter and the year) and the main body developed in a pure chained procedural hand, the time’s characteristic connected writing of Cervantes’ era.
The text records a Perpetual Fuero Deed (foro al quitar) of 8 reales of annual rent —payable on every day of Our Lady of August, with a principal of 160 reales— granted by Alonso Rodríguez de San Isidro, a resident of Zamora, in favor of Baltasar Cerezo, a resident of Villanueva de Campeán (Zamora). It possesses notable value for local history and Zamoran topography, as it describes in detail two herrenales (enclosed arable lands, one of them half a load of wheat) situated in the aforementioned term of Villanueva de Campeán, specifying their boundaries with Concejo Street, the ejido, the public road, and the properties of the councilman Diego Vázquez and Micaela Macías. As a colophon, the last page preserves a beautiful notarial sign (signum tabellionis) in a geometric lattice drawn with the pen by the public scribe of Zamora, Tomás de Castro (
