Disposiciones para la catalogación de empresas de caballeros españoles entre los siglos XV-XVII a través de bases de datos

Abstract

Impresses or devices (association of word and image) were used by kings and knights as a way of flaunting heroic or amatory ideals between the XV and XVII centuries. To elaborate them, it was necessary the expertise of poets and humanists with a good knowledge about classics, Rhetoric and domain of verbal and conceptual acuity. Because of their ephemeral art condition, we have lost the most of those creations, with the exception of the impresses and devices that are described in relations about tournaments, celebrations, travels, knights genealogies, descriptions of coats of arms, etc. We are going to present a project of catalogue of those compositions through the use of databases
