- Abstract
The aim of this paper is to bring to light the collection of costumes and jewellery used for performances that belonged to the members of the company by the comedy author Agustín Manuel de Castilla, one of the two people in charge of the performances of the Corpus Christi of Madrid in 1692, against the severe pragmatic sanction regarding luxury issued by Charles II on November 26th, 1691. Its volume, richness, variety, colour, ostentation and multiple functionalities justified, in my opinion, its study, based on a record located in the National Historical Archive (Councils, 1277), promoted by its stamp. Said record offered sort of an accurate picture of the ostentatious costumes of two important companies of the last decade of the XVII century (Agustín Manuel and Damián Polop), nonetheless space restrictions advised us to focus just on the first one, referring to the bundle «against pragmatic sanction» of the second one in a superficial manner.
