Church of San Vicente, Seville, volume of documents

Manuscripts

This volume contains documents, depositions, and legal transcripts, all apparently relating to litigation over the usufruct of a chaplaincy and its revenues in the church of San Vicente in Seville, Spain. The manuscript covers the period 1530-1630s, with contemporary notarial copies and some marginalia by a later (18th century?) hand. There are a couple of signatures by a Spanish bishop, some paper seals, and printed forms. The volume also includes some interesting data on the sources and amounts of revenue supporting the chaplaincy. Attached is a small printed book in Latin consisting of commentaries on Aristotle.

See AL 80-81 and 245 where this manuscript is described. The text here is complete: the scribe erroneously repeated the rubric of Book VII on f. 26, thus his calculations at the end of the manuscript were off by one. Marginalia and nota marks by various readers of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
