Consultas consiliares y patrimonio histórico textualLa consulta de viernes del Consejo de astilla

Resumo

The government of the Hispanic Monarchy in Modernity was carried out largely through some collegiate organisms, the Councils, which articulated the so-called polysynodal regime. These Councils exercised innumerable judicial, legislative and governmental powers, as well as an important task of advising the monarch who had his most outstanding manifestation in the consultative activity developed by each one of them. This activity was reflected in written documents, consular consultations, which became an indispensable instrument of government, so that through them the most important matters were resolved as well as other less important ones, which is why they constitute a valuable manifestation of our historical-legal textual heritage. Enclosing the consultations of the Council of Castile, and starting from the basis that in this organism there are two different types, those raised in writing to the monarch and those made orally with the king, who in turn were the bench and Friday, the objective of this work is to analyze, based on the unpublished documentation handled, the main characteristics and evolution throughout the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries of the written documents that served as textual support to the Friday consultations, which were an exclusive prerogative of this Council. To this end, the structure and content of the so-called Friday memorials and the style clause consultations, which are the documents preserved in relation to these Friday consultations, will be analyzed.
