Spanish monarch (1451–1504) best known as the sponsor and patron of Christopher Columbus in his ventures to the ‘New World.’ Manuscript DS, in Spanish, signed “Yo La Reyna [I the Queen],” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, February 16, 1501. Order to Sancho de Paredes, the Queen’s Chamberlain, to pay Juana Mendez the sum of 100,000 maravedis for her services as a tutor to Prince Don Donis, one of the Queen’s grandchildren. At the bottom of the page, Mendez has signed a receipt for the payment, dated the same day. Attractively cloth matted and framed, so both sides of the document may be viewed, with a portrait of Isabella, a name plaque, and an engraved informational plaque, to an overall size of 34.75 x 23.25. In fine, clean condition, with two crisp diagonal cancellation cuts, a central horizontal fold, and some scattered light toning. An exceptional example for its age. Oversized.
