| Sumario: | This paper analyzes a manuscript known as “Carta ejecutoria de la familia Fernández de Jáuregui”, preserved today at the National Library of Mexico. A thorough documentary and typological review (including its genealogical and heraldic aspects) permits us to stress the importance of binding as an element of distinction formerly used in administrative documents. An explanation on the differences between a carta ejecutoria and a certificación de armas and the history of the Fernández de Jáuregui family is also offered. By describing its materials, manufacturing technique, ornamentation and state of preservation, we attempt to establish the possible origin and dating of this type of binding, as well to clarify the reasons of its commissioning by the Fernández de Jáuregui family. |
