El Archivo de la Cámara de Comptos y la Biblioteca de la Real Academia de la Historia. Su vocabulario antiguo

Abstract

In this article, the authors present several documents kept at the Library of the History Royal Academy which are directly related to the Revenue Court Archi­ves. It is a reason for performing several analyses and investigations in the archives, but also for considering a palaeographical and diplomatic point of view. On the one hand, we study two manuscripts titled Documentos sacados del Archivo de la Camara de Comptos de Navarra. Indice de los mismos (Documents from the Navarra Revenue Court Archives. Index.), and redacted, at the beginning of the last century, by José de Vargas y Ponce who got the information through Joaquín Juan de Flores, according to an evidence found in a letter sent to him and transcribed in the study. On the other hand, we analyze a small manuscript notebook, written in 1853 by the famous archivist José Yanguas y Miranda, that contains the vocabulary used by the above mentioned Institution and which has also been retranscribed. So, even if it is concise, this is an introduction to the historical evolution of the Archives and of the Revenue Court, that also brings a very selected biblio­graphy.
