[CARTA EXECUTORIA] Carta Executoria de hidalguia in favor of Geronimo de Torre . Jaén, Spain: July 12, 1509, reign of Joanna of Castile. Vellum self wrappers, sewn with a woven cord at the spine. 12 x 8 1/8 inches (30.5 x 20.5 cm); 18 ff. on parchment vellum, f. 1 verso and f. 2 recto with four-sided illuminated borders (the first with a fine historiated initial), written throughout in a fine blackletter between red rules, signed on the final leaves by the officiants. Rather than a grant of arms, this is the record of a suit between de Torre and the Council and official of the town of Jaén, in South-Central Spain regarding his claim to nobility. This is the formal record of the decision in his favor, signed by the relevant officials and notaries. An unusual class of armorial grant, representing the retention of disputed armorial rights rather than the creation of new ones. C
