EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical significance of Marca Hispanica sive limes hispanicus, a collection of five books written in Latin by Pierre de Marca in the 17th century. Commissioned to formalize the border treaty between France and Spain in 1656, this work served to educate the French people about the annexed province of Catalonia in 1641.
Etienne Baluze later enlarged and edited this important document, which was published in Paris by Francois Muguet in 1688. Housed within the Historical Military Library of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, this book sheds light on a pivotal moment in European history when borders were redrawn and agreements were made between kingdoms.
The illustrious figure depicted on the cover is Ioanni Baptistae Colberto, marquis de Seignelay (1651-1690), who played a key role during this period. His legacy lives on through this valuable compilation that chronicles the Franco-Spanish relations of that era.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how history has shaped our present reality and how documents like these continue to inform us about our past. The intricate details captured in this photograph invite us to delve deeper into a time when nations clashed and alliances were forged along volatile borders.
