This engaging royal manuscript was made for Juan II of Castile and Leon around 1425, and perhaps later owned by Isabella, Queen of Spain. This manuscript includes a map of the known world from just before the Age of Discovery. This compendium of texts, as a ‘mirror of princes’ offers instruction on the ways a king should govern.
