Abstract


In this autobiographical Libre dels Feyts, James I the Conqueror, King of Aragon, describes a juridical procedure which he instituted in 1267 against a gang of counterfeiters operating out of the town of Tarazona. This procedure, which the King calls an "inquisició", corresponds exactly to the "pesquisa" of the neighboring kingdom of Castile, although the Aragonese legal tradition was theoretically hostile to the "pesquisa" as a legal instrument. Here the various steps of James'trial of the counterfeiters are compared to the regulations governing the use of "pesquisa" in contemporary Alfonsine legislation.
