(Links to other sections at bottom of page)

(Language may be latin or Spanish, but it is the period script that matters).
This is an example of XI century Spanish script.

The following is a letter from Queen Isabella to Juan II of Navarre.
Biblioteca National, Madrid.

Next is part of a document in which Pedro I, king of Aragon and Navarra, donates a new church to the Monastery of Ona. It is of great interest because of the signature of the Catholic King Pedro I which he signed in arabic letters at the bottom! It reads in arabic script (from right to left): Reshem Pedro Ibn Sancho (King Pedro son of Sancho). This from a Catholic king donating a church to a Catholic monastery.
Archivo Historico National, Madrid.

XV century. This, is part of the "Libro de buen amor" (don't ask) by Ruiz, the Archbishop of Hita.
Biblioteca de Palacio, Madrid.
