Abstract


This article addresses the social image of one particular professional group in Castile during the «ancien régime»; the public notaries, satirized repeatedly in the literature of the period. The article aims at a typology of illegal activities in which they engaged, paying attention to specific cases. In this way, we reveal a variety of practices frequently obscured by official discourse, but fundamental in their impact on the collective image of this group.
