Abstract

As it was published in 1688, Pierre de Marca and Étienne Baluze’s Marca Hispanica is the result of its working through three successive moments: Marca’s stay in Catalonia as visitador (1644-1651); the negotiations for the Peace of the Pyrenees (1659-1660); and its final printing by Baluze. Each of these phases was influenced by different political and erudite factors. First, Humanist praise to Catalonia as the newly annexed French province; then, historical legitimation of the “historical boundary” between France and Spain; lastly, collection of sources according to the demands of historical criticism.
