Description
  • This manuscript contains the rules of a religious organization named Sancta Misericordia in Cordoba, Spain. The opening rubric dates the volume to 1561 (fol. 4r). The colophon is dated to 6 September 1562, indicating that the volume took about a year to produce. The rules comprise fifty-one chapters. On fol. 5r can be found the signatures of three of the brothers of this order who collaborated on the creation of these rules, including Critestini Leuerdad and Melchor Be<...> pizarro. A colophon (fols. 49v-50r) additionally notes that the Sancta Misericordia was established in the church of Saint Nicholas de la Axerquja, on Potro Square in Cordoba. The colophon is signed by the cathedral canon, Juan Diaz de Valleso. In the first quarter of the manuscript there are several full-page sketches of religious and secular figures depicted in ink and, occasionally, color wash.
