Abstract

Joan Baptista de Valda: literature and municipal power in Baroque Valencia
The present article is a survey of the life of Joan Baptista de Valda (1612-1668), a virtually unknown Valencian writer, who was put in charge of establishing a written protocol for the Valencian municipal authorities during a large part of the Baroque era. Moreover, his Llibre de les assistències..., which has been handed down to us in various different manuscripts is a true reflection of the customs and rituals of the Valencia of his time.
