Description
Eighteenth-century Spain produced a great deal of this: the genealogical epitome, commissioned by a family to establish its antiquity and services to the crown, printed with the arms engraved at the front. The Quiros were Asturian, and the book runs their descent back through the reconquest with the assurance of a genre that never entertained doubt. Read for its facts it must be handled carefully; read as evidence of how the Spanish nobility wished to be seen — and of what it thought worth claiming — it is a document of the first order. The armorial plate is reproduced here from the original.
