The Specular Book of 1767 is a paradigmatic example of the documentation generated by family estates during the Ancien Regime. This type of book, which collects in an orderly manner the assets, rights and obligations of a family or house, was essential to manage the heritage and guarantee its transmission between generations. We are dealing with a legal and economic instrument that reflects the social structure and documentary culture of an era in which the family was the nucleus of power and continuity. Through these books, we can reconstruct the property networks, marriage alliances and patrimonial consolidation strategies that connected Catalonia with other regions of Europe. The specular book is, therefore, a window into the private and institutional life of a continent that was also built from family archives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14548,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"eix":[3],"class_list":["post-10010","document","type-document","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","eix-sistema-institucional-i-governanca"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nspecular book - Catalunya Pa\u00eds d'Arxius<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/catalunyapaisdarxius.cat\/en\/catalunyapaisdarxius\/digital-resource\/resource\/document\/llibre-especul\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"specular book - Catalunya Pa\u00eds d'Arxius\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Specular Book of 1767 is a paradigmatic example of the documentation generated by family estates during the Ancien Regime.
