province of Estremadura, whose case was presented by Paino y Hurtado
(see above, No. 48). All of the royal charters and ordinances, and many
documents not available in other works are collected in these two large

82. Gômez Valverde, Manuel, ed. El Consultor del Ganadero. Madrid,
1898. A useful compilation of ancient and modern pastoral laws, with brief
historical notes.
2. Local Laws and Ordinances
The same reason which prompted the examination of town archives
(see above, p. 408) explains the presence of this section in the bib-
liography. There have been listed here only such compilations as
were found useful on pastoral laws and practices. Nos. ɪ and 12,
above, were indispensable in the search for this class of material. It
will be noted that practically all of the towns cited are in the central
and southern pasturage regions, with a few in the northern wool
marketing centres (Bilbao, Leon, Burgos). For the most part, the
materials found in these town codes were on local sheep regulations
and the organization of the local mestas, or shepherds’ gilds.

which comprised a total of over x50 small towns, and took in most of the
large pasturage districts in that kingdom.
