Alfonso X of Castile; 1265

Coat of Arms of Álvaro de Zúñiga y Guzmán, first Duke of Arévalo

Alfonso X of Castile, The Wise, «The Seven-Part Code», its estimated completion year is 1265.

This is the copy I can consult, as it is available in the Hispanic Digital Library, it is a manuscript measuring 42 by 30 centimeters that once belonged to Álvaro de Zúñiga y Guzmán, first Duke of Arévalo, which later came into the possession of the Catholic Monarchs, initially Queen Isabella I of Castile, and after her death, King Ferdinand reclaimed it for the price of 5,251 maravedis. The original is housed in the National Library, in display case 4/6.

This copy, in addition to its numerous capital letters, has 8 illustrated pages, which according to its subsequent hand-numbering in pencil are:

  • Page 6, among its illustrations can be seen 2 coats of arms of the Zúñiga family «Argent, a bend Sable, over all, a chain in orle Or», in this case formed by 16 links, 8 round and 8 more elongated placed in profile.
  • Pages 106 and 191, on the latter can be seen a curious bishop-lizard climbing.
  • Pages 294 and 331, on the 2nd at the bottom, a maiden is seen walking a monkey to relieve itself and to her right a fight of men with beast bodies.
  • Page 379 and on its previous unnumbered page, and finally, on page 415 which begins with a tournament where the 2nd knight bears the ancient arms of France «Azure, semy of fleurs de lis Or».

The coat of arms that illustrates this bibliographic reference is that of Álvaro de Zúñiga y Guzmán. For the creation of his chain, I followed the illustration of his 2 coats of arms on the already mentioned page 6 of this manuscript.

The Seven-Part Code, Alfonso X of Castile, pages 14 and 15
