One of Spain’s most important historical documents, which is stored in the Cathedral of Santiago: the so-called Tumbo A. This #manuscript, also known by the term Album of Kings, probably originated between 1129 and 1255. It contains important documents and privileges, issued by kings, bishops, and other high-ranking personalities. These important written records from medieval Spain are crowned with impressive #miniatures: 24 portraits and pictures of the kings and monarchs of Asturias and León – from Alfonso II to Alfonso X – appear as prefixes to the respective texts. In this way, Tumbo A yields a marvelous and comprehensive overview of the developments of this exciting epoch in Spanish history!
