EDITORS COMMENTS
This miniature illustration, taken from the incunabulum "Constitutions and other rights of Catalonia" (1495), portrays King James I of Aragon, Valencia, and Majorca (1208-1276) presiding over the Lleida Courts in March 1242. The image, housed in the Archive of the Crown of Aragon in Barcelona, Spain, offers a glimpse into the political and administrative dynamics of the 13th century. James I, also known as James the Conqueror, is depicted seated on a raised bench, flanked by the prothonotary on his right and the representatives of the Three Estates – the clergy, citizens, and commoners – opposite him. The king's regal attire, adorned with ermine fur, signifies his power and authority. The intricate details of the illustration, from the ornate architecture of the courtroom to the individual expressions of the figures, provide a rich context for understanding the feudal structure of the realm. The Lleida Courts, or Corts Catalanes, were an essential institution for the governance of the Catalan territories under the Crown of Aragon. These assemblies brought together the various estates to discuss matters of state, law, and finance, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration among the diverse elements of the realm. The Constitutions of Catalonia, which were compiled during the reign of James I, served as a foundational legal text for the region and continue to influence Catalan law today. This illustration offers a unique window into the past, providing valuable insights into the political, social, and legal landscape of medieval Catalonia and the wider Crown of Aragon.
