Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Times of James the First: The Conqueror, King of Aragon, Valencia, and Majorca Count of Barcelona and Urgel Lord of Montpellier In its original form this book was written for the Marquis of Lothian´s prize, open annually for competition to junior members of the University of Oxford. The subject for 1889 was ´James I of Aragon,´ and the present work is an expansion of the unfinished essay which I then sent in to the examiners, and to which they awarded an honourable mention. The book, however, would never, perhaps, have been completed, had it not been for the kind encouragement and invaluable help of a friend, by whose advice I visited some of the principal archives and libraries of Spain in the years 1889 and 1890. Of these, far the most important for the purposes of my subject were the Archives of Aragon at Barcelona, which contain over 2,300 parchments and thirty registers of the reign. It is much to be regretted that these valuable archives are not more frequently visited by historians. They are kept in perfect order, the documents are carefully classified, and I received every kindness and attention from the distinguished Archivist, D. Manuel de Bofarull y de Sartorio, and his son, D. Francisco de Bofarull. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
