On the Ordenamiento de Zamora, 1274. / Sobre el Ordenamiento de Zamora, 1274.
Abstract
Abstract: The so-called Ordenamiento de Zamora of 1274 has received scant critical attention, but it prompts several questions: (1) is the extant text an official Ordenamiento of the royal court; (2) was the date affixed by the royal chancery; (3) was it enacted in the Cortes at Zamora; (4) what is the substance of the text? The Ordenamiento is incomplete as it lacks the proper introduction characteristic of authentic royal documents and the customary chancery dating formula. Apart from the inscription, no other document speaks of the Cortes of Zamora and the text makes no reference to the Cortes or to the presence of representatives of municipalities ordinarily summoned to the Cortes. In order to facilitate the prompt resolution of lawsuits, the Ordenamiento focused on four topics: 1. Advocates; 2. Judges; 3. Scribes; and 4. The King. It also listed the casos de corte that belonged exclusively to royal jurisdiction.
RESUMEN: El llamado Ordenamiento de Zamora de 1274 ha recibido escasa atención crítica, pero plantea varias preguntas: (1) ¿es el texto existente un ordenamiento oficial de la corte real? (2) ¿fue la fecha fijada por la cancillería real? (3) ¿fue decretado en las Cortes de Zamora? (4) ¿cuál es la sustancia del texto? El Ordenamiento es incompleto ya que carece de la introducción característica de los auténticos documentos reales y de la fórmula acostumbrada empleada por la cancillería para fechar tales documentos. Aparte de la inscripción, ningún otro documento habla de las Cortes de Zamora y el texto no hace referencia a las Cortes ni a la presencia de representantes de los concejos ordinariamente convocados a las Cortes. Con el fin de facilitar la pronta resolución de los pleitos, el Ordenamiento se centró en cuatro temas: 1. Abogados; 2. Alcaldes; 3. Escribanos; y 4. El Rey. También enumeró los casos de corte que pertenecían exclusivamente a la jurisdicción real.
