Abstract

This article provides information of the existence, in the Inquisition Section of the Archivo Histórico Nacional, of a fragment of an altar card or tabella secretarum printed on parchment in Jorge Coci's workshop in Zaragoza. The importance of this liturgical print, reused as a binding for a grimoire requisitioned in an inquisitorial process, is explained, as it is one of the few testimonies preserved in the Iberian Peninsula of pre-tridentine altar cards of which the above-mentioned Zaragozan workshop made extensive editions of which, to the present day, no material evidence was found.
