Respuesta - RAMOS DEL MANZANO (Francisco) RESPUESTA de España al Tratado de Francia sobre las Pretensiones de la Reyna Christianissima. Año M.DC.LX.VII . Segunda Impression. S.l.: A costa de la viuda de Juan de Valdés, s.d. [1668]. []2, §2, ¶-¶¶¶¶2, A-X4, Y-Z2, Aa-Zz, Aaa-Zzz, Aaaa-Zzzz, Aaaaa-Zzzzz, Aaaaaa-Zzzzzz2; [12], 285, [1 br.] ff.; 305 mm. Written at the height of the War of Devolution (1667–1668), this booklet responds to the French pamphlet Traité des droits de la Reine très chrétienne sur divers États de la Monarchie d'Espagne (Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1667, usually attributed to Antoine Bilain), which sought to legitimize Louis XIV's claims to the Spanish Netherlands on behalf of Maria Theresa by invoking the jus devolutionis (Brabantine succession law). Ramos del Manzano's Reply dismantles these arguments—defending the validity of Maria Theresa's renunciation and the integrity of the Spanish Monarchy—in the context of the conflict that would end with the Peace of Aachen/Aix-la-Chapelle (May 1668). Francisco Ramos del Manzano (Vitigudino, 1604 – Madrid, 1683), an eminent jurist, was Professor of Laws in Salamanca, counselor of Castile, regent of the Council of Italy and plenipotentiary in the Peace of the Pyrenees (1659); he also served as tutor to Charles II and received the title of Count of Francos in 1678. !
