EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Barcinonensium. Marca Hispanica sive limes hispanicus is a fascinating glimpse into the historical military library of Barcelona. The book, written in Latin by Pierre de Marca in the 17th century, sheds light on the border treaty between France and Spain during a time of political upheaval.
Commissioned to formalize the agreement between the two kingdoms, De Marca's work was crucial in making the French people aware of Catalonia's annexation in 1641. Etienne Baluze later enlarged and edited this collection of five books, which was published in Paris by Francois Muguet in 1688.
The significance of this document cannot be understated, as it captures a pivotal moment in European history when borders were being redrawn and territories were changing hands. The Catalan uprising against Spanish rule under Philip IV and Louis XIII is documented within these pages, providing valuable insights into a turbulent period.
As we gaze upon this ancient text through the lens of Prisma Archivo Fotografico, we are reminded of the complexities of geopolitics and how they have shaped our world today. This print serves as a reminder of Catalonia's rich history and its enduring legacy within the Franco-Spanish landscape.
