Diego Sarmiento de Acuña, conde de Gondomar, Ynstrucion que el Conde de Gondomar dio al Padre Fray Diego de la Fuente para informar a S.M. en España de las cosas de Inglaterra, in Galician Spanish, manuscript on paper [Spain, or just perhaps England on Spanish paperstock, years immediately following 1617]18 leaves, complete, collation: i10, ii8 (these including the outermost leaves which serve as covers), single column of 26 lines in a scrolling bookhand, opening words of text in larger script, ornamental frontispiece with title in calligraphic penstrokes headed by a cross, watermark three small circles topped by a Cross and the middle and upper ones containing the initials ‘DM’ and a crucifix (probably Spanish paperstock, and closest in Heawood’s survey to no. 257, that taken from a log book of a seventeenth-century Spanish ship, once Phillipps 11875), part of first word of title replaced with paper patch (presumably over scribal error), some inkburn causing losses to a few letters (mostly affecting frontispiece), some leaves partly split along gutter, 304 by 215mm.This manuscript contains an unpublished report by an important Spanish diplomat, ambassador to London in 1613-18 and 1619-22, and friend of James I of England, who promoted the unity between the two nations in the prelude to the Thirty Years’ War. The two were very close and reportedly referred to themselves as the ‘two Diegos’, and drank from the same cup. The historian J.P. Kenyon called Gondomar “a cleverer man than any in England”, and his personal links with James kept England from joining with Protestant states against Spain and Habsburg Austria as well as halting English attacks on Spanish colonies in the Americas. In connection with the latter, Gondomar’s pressure on James was the deciding factor that stood behind the execution of Sir Walter Raleigh for the sacking of San Thomé, in modern Venezuela.This document is known in only two other copies, one in the Biblioteca Nacional de España, Ms. 18.430/2, and the other British Library, Add. MS. 28,470.
