Lot 1:
REGIMENTO da Mampostaria-Mór dos Cativos. 1769.
manuscrito sobre papel; 8 ff. não numerados, 83 ff. numerados pela frente; 370 mm.
Manuscript from the 18th century, written in one hand in a beautiful handwriting typical of the time, containing the details of the Kingdom’s Mamposteiros-Mor Regiment, followed by the details of a set of legislation relating to the same subject.
The main mamposteiro was a magistrate who administered the Captive Redemption Court, designed to raise funds to rescue people taken captive in North Africa. Its area of intervention roughly coincided with that of the district. The Captive Redemption Courts and their magistrates were abolished by the law of December 4, 1775, transferring their administration to the District Ombudsman Offices.
