The Digital Walters is a branch of The Walters Art Museum Manuscripts Department.
Cartulary of the monastery of San Andrés de Fanlo in Aragon (Spain). Contains 13th-century copies of documents that date between the 10th century and the 1250s. The documents cover a wide variety of topics, including wills, donations, royal endowments, regulations governing vineyards (some leased by Jews), inheritances, etc. In general, the documents deal with the economic life of the community ruled by the monastery.
Support: parchment; Extent: 103 leaves : 242 x 167 (148 x 105) mm; Collation: 1⁴( -1) 2³ 3² 4-13⁴, 14⁴( -2); folios 44, 47, 60, 65, 77, and 80 are tipped in. Quires are misbound, as is evident from the catchwords, lower center of last verso (some trimmed away). Original order is uncertain. Several quires appear to be missing: after quire 1, before quire 2, before quire 6, before and after quire 10, and after quire 12. The beginning of the manuscript is missing and a label has been removed from the current first leaf. Two sequences can be reconstructed: quires 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12 (f. 8-33, 74-89) and quires 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14 (f. 34-65, 90-103). The documents are not in chronological or alphabetical order. The first digits of the 16th-century foliation have been erased, leaving repeating arabic numerals, 0-9, upper right recto (i.e. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3, ...); modern foliation in pencil, lower right recto.
Written in 19 long lines; ruled in lead; prickings visible.
Written in a Gothic bookhand by various scribes; some hands, on the final two folios, are slightly later.
Red initials with brown filigree, showing typical Spanish features, such as "harping" of the filigree; rubrication; occasional marginalia.
