Notes: The record of the Visitation on the accession of Prince George of Hesse-Darmstadt as Viceroy of Catalonia, confirming the principality in its privileges. Príncep Jordi, as he was known locally, proved a popular viceroy (he learnt Catalan, and introduced reforms), but he was replaced in 1701 by a pro-Bourbon. The first owner is probably Francesco Aparicio i Font, Jesuit author of a tract on the Virgin (Palau 13,698, same year & publisher as the present work). Scarce: University of Chicago only in the USA in WorldCat, BL only in COPAC....more
