- La fi del comte d'Urgell
"La fi del comte d'Urgell" or "Scriptura privada" is an anonymous Catalan political tract written during the
Catalonian Civil War (1462–72) by an enemy of king John II. Largely composed of personal stories, including that of the death ofJames II of Urgell , whose right to the throne is championed. The decadence of the great noble families who supportedFerdinand of Antequera in theCompromise of Caspe is portrayed as a divine curse on them. The earliest known manuscript of "La fi" dates from 1598 and its editor, Xavier de Salas Bosch (1931), considers it a sixteenth-century work, though most commentators prefer a fifteenth century provenance, some suggesting as early as 1410–33.References
