About This Item
Spain (Madrid?), 1570-1620. Folio. Bound in contemporary full red velvet. The covering is moderately worn with more wear on the top and bottom of the spine. Evidence of a missing applied decorative panel on the front board. Original endpapers. The entire contents are on vellum. Approximately 125 leaves. Two full page miniatures at the front with one portraying the Holy Virgin with the patrons and grantees kneeling before her. The miniatures are finely done and in excellent condition. Several illuminated initials. Original silk plate tissues present. Overall a very nice example. Produced in the reign of King Phillip (II or III ca. 1570-1620). These patents of Nobility were very popular in Spain and many still exist in the original bindings and are in excellent condition like this example. It seems the more important and rich the people were the more elaborate and special the examples were. 1570
