As archbishop of Toledo from 1495 to 1517, Francisco Ximénez de Cisneros campaigned for support for the Mozarabic rite, which had been preserved in the Middle Ages by Christians living in Toledo under Muslim rule. He oversaw a committee that assisted a canon of the cathedral, Alfonso Ortiz, in preparing editions of the Mozarabic missal and breviary that were published in 1500 and 1502, respectively. The resulting rite, which is more accurately termed "neo-Mozarabic," gradually became an important component of Spanish national identity. The earliest narrative sources analyzing descriptions of the creation of the neo-Mozarabic rite are the prefaces to the editions of the Mozarabic missal and breviary, along with 16th and 17th century accounts which include this early seventeenth-century biography by Eugenio de Robles.

Dame Laura KNIGHT R.A (1877-1970)BobOil on panel Signed and dated 1912Further signed and inscribed to the back25 x 17.5cm(See front cover illustration)Provenance: From the estate of Ella NaperNote: This portrait is of the actor Robert Newton as a child. It is dated 1912 when Newton would have been about six or seven. It comes from the estate of Ella Naper, who was the model in Laura Knight's most famous self-portrait, which is in the National Portrait Gallery's Primary Collection. Robert Newton's father was the artist Algernon Newton and the Knights, the Napers and the Newtons were all close neighbours in the Lamorna Valley in Cornwall, just before the outbreak of the first World War. Robert enjoyed an idyllic childhood in Cornwall before becoming a huge film star. In his most famous role, as Long John Silver in Treasure Island, he employed an exaggerated Cornish accent which has now become synonymous with the representation of Pirates the world over.Newton was the proverbial wild child, hard living and hard drinking who sadly died when he was only 50 years old. Contemporary accounts indicate that he was quite a force of nature even as a child, which is clearly expressed in this painting. This, in addition to who the artist was, when and where it was painted, who owned it, and their places in 20th century art and culture, makes it a very exciting work.See page 106 of John Branfield's "Ella & Charles Naper, Art and Life at Lamorna". In 1969 Laura wrote to Ella to ask to borrow the painting for her exhibition in June at The Upper Grosvenor Galleries, '75 Years of Painting'. "I believe it is one of my best works done at that period," she said of the work.Exhibited:June 1969, Laura Knight '75 Years of Painting' The Upper Grosvenor Galleries.2002, 'Women Artists in Cornwall' Penlee House Gallery & Museum.June 2012, Laura Knight 'In the Open Air' Penlee House Gallery & Museum, touring exhibition.June 2018, In Relation: 'Nine Couples who Transformed Modern British Art' Royal West of England Academy.
