Overview and metadata sections
Charles Carroll Marden was the first professor of Spanish in United States, teaching at Johns Hopkins from 1905 until 1917. His greatest scholarly contribution was as editor of ancient Spanish-language texts, such as Cuatro Poemas de Berceo, the works of the earliest known Castilian poet, Gonzalo de Berceo. Marden discovered parts of the text in a secondhand bookstore in Madrid then searched for the remaining portions of the manuscript and found the remaining thirty-two folios in a remote village in Spain. He then prepared the text for publication. In 1916, Marden became the newly created Emery L. Ford Chair of Spanish at Princeton University. After dividing his time between Johns Hopkins and Princeton, he moved to Princeton in 1917 and remained there until his death in 1932.
Consists of 637 Spanish documents, collected by Marden, divided into two groups: documents originating from the town of Burgos and several towns around Soria and documents from the town of Alarcon. The first group--170 documents--contains deeds, mortgages, wills, probate documents, and documents drawn up to establish genealogies, all apparently intended to prove rights to inherit capellanias; the second group, consisting of 467 documents, concerns the affairs of the seigneurial town of Alarcon, south of Cuenca. Most of these documents are legal files and illustrate the governance of a town which belonged to one of the most powerful grandees of 16th-century Spain, the Marques de Villena. The wool trade and industry of the area figures significantly in the documents.
Later additions to the collection (document numbers 638 to 642) include the earliest document in the collection, dated 1347, a power of attorney granted to "certain persons" in the town of Medina del Campo, a Papal dispensation (1650) for a marriage, and an inventory (1630) of inherited property.
Arranged in two chronological series, each group of documents relating to a geographic area in Spain (see scope note). Additions to the collection are added at the end, beginning with document number 638.
The following sources were consulted during preparation of biographical note: American National Biography Online.
Gift of David Carroll Marden. Additions are a gift of Barbara Marden Brugh.
