13 GIL, 2001: 332. The
zobairía
of the customs of Seville was given
to him as dowry for his marriage to Doña Beatriz de Esquivel by his
father-in-law, Pedro de Esquivel, who held it from 1485 in perpetuity.
That position must have been similar to scribe or secretary.
14 LÓPEZ 2006: 19-23. In this interesting article, the will signed by
the Commander in Malaga is largely transcribed, which explicitly
mentions their houses in Seville.
15 AHN. Sección Nobleza. BAENA, C.173, D. 74. Copy of a Carlos I
Royal Provision issued on May 30, 1516, requesting the Commander
Gomez de Solis , warden of the fortress of Sanlucar de Barrameda, to
hand over its possession to the appointed lieutenant by Juan de Silva
Ribera, the first Marquis of Montemayor, who was granted its tenure.
16 Among them, the most important would be the Commander of
the Order of Santiago, whose benefits (which had in charge a set of as-
sets assigned by the Order in lifelong usufruct), were counteracted by
the military service demanded by the Order (RODRÍGUEZ 1986, 179).
17 ORTÍZ, 3: 179. He was also part of several armies sent fromMala-
ga to Naples (1512) and North Africa (1518). LOPÉZ 2006, 19
18 Several details of this character are known, buried before the altar
of St. Barbara at the Cathedral of Seville in 1544. He was canon of the
temple and appeared in several factory committees, as the one commis-
sioned by Diego de Riaño for the Chapter House in 1532 or a contract to
deliver seven stained glass windows with Arnau of Flanders (1538). After
his death, his important library was donated to the Cathedral.
19 By the late February 1518, the Commander asked the Crown the
license to institute two
mayorazgos
on their two sons; the authoriza-
tion was granted on April 16, 1520. On that date he had large herit-
age; he was a twenty four in Seville, had the
zobairía
of the customs
of Seville, and was
Alcalde Mayor de las Sacas del Arzobispado
of Se-
ville; to all this, the ownership of the Aroche tenure and the Lord-
ship of Ojen and its fortress have to be added.

21 ORTÍZ, 4, 132-133. The parents of Doña Beatriz de Esquivel were
buried in this church, as well as her son Luis Melchor and the Co-
mendador Solis Gomez himself, who died about 1526.
22 This Hospital seemed to receive ergotism or ‘sacred fire’ patients.
The associated chapel is still conserved in the church of San Antonio
Abad of the Hermandad del Silencio
23 The infante Don Juan of Granada was the son of Muley Hazen,
the penultimate king of the Nasrid dinasty, and the Christian cap-
tive Zoraya, who ended up joining the monarch, embracing Islam
and becoming his first wife. As a result of this relationship, two sons
were born: Nasr and Saad. After the death of Hazen and once Boab-
dil reached the throne, Zoraya moved to Christian lands where she
was taken in by the Catholic Monarchs, who even kidnapped her
children to avoid the dynastic continuity of the kingdom of Grana-
da. Shortly before the war the family moved to Seville, by converting
to Catholicism; Zoraya became part of the court of the Queen using
the name Isabel de Granada and their children adopted the names
Infante Juan de Granada (Nasr) and Infante Hernando de Granada
(Saad), maintaining their real status of princes but without options
to be appointed kings.
24 The estate had been incorporated into the classification made by
Olavide in the First District, Sixth Quarter. The 1795 census of urban
estates shows the block that housed the estate with the number 6;
on that estate there was no longer any Solis living in it. (HERNÁN-
DEZ 2006: 180)
25 SANCHO, Reed. 1984: 150-153. The Chapel of Jesus Nazareno of
the Hermandad del Silencio was built adjoining the church of the
Hospital by architect Diego Antonio Diaz between 1724-1730. In this
process and under the same work director, the facade facing the
calle Alfonso XII was built. The Hermandad del Silencio owned the
chapel of the of the Hospital de San Antón church since April 1579,
when it acquired a part of the garden of the hospital, building a small
chapel dedicated to the Holy Crucifix.
26 COLLANTES (Ed.), 1994. T. 1, 393. This street was originally
named Riego, then took the name of General Moscardó and just
recently el Silencio. This work was carried out during the years of
Manuel Villar Bailly as Municipal Architect of the City, mainly based
on the adaptation of religious buildings that had been confiscated.

Gomez Moreno described the
menado
work
as
“complementary planking covering the streets of the armor, cut into
geometric shapes and then painted with stars, elongated hexagons or
alfardones and verdugos; it is, in the absence of lacing, the decoration
of the ceilings.”
28 Typically, these minor beams were cut by much larger sections.
In this case the sections are reduced to the length between main
beams. We assume they were cut either when dissassembled at their
original location or when they got to the new one.
29 We assume that these moldings originally existed, but no origi-
nal fragment has been found.
30 Study techniques and chemical analysis were as follows:
Optical microscopy with polarized, incident and transmitted light.
Halogen light and UV light.
Selective dyes and microchemical tests.
Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTIR transmission and
FTIR-ATR)
Gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
Scanning Electron Microscopy - Microanalysis by means of Energy
Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (SEM - EDXS)
31 This varnish is clearly seen in layer no. 7 of themicrosampleM-DR.11

33 This layer can be seen more clearly in the image of the cross sec-
tion (figure 40)
34The partitionwallsNo. 1 of the north side andNo. 5 and 1 of the south
side are new. A female figure in the no. 4 of the south side has only the
area of the nose and mouth and some of the headdress well preserved.
Also, the figures located in the No.2 beam depicting a gentleman and
the nº6 depicting a young lady have lost much of their factions.
