EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing document, dated 1813, is a print of the Expedient of Pere Coret, a Catalan man accused of being a double spy during the War of Spanish Independence (1808-1813). The War of Spanish Independence was a pivotal moment in Spanish history, as the country fought against French occupation and the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Expedient, written in Catalan, was signed by the clergyman governor Pedro Jose Avella in Vilanova i la Geltru, a coastal town in Catalonia. The document details the accusations against Pere Coret, who was suspected of providing information to both the French and Spanish forces. The precise details of Coret's alleged espionage activities are not revealed in this document, but it is clear that the accusation was taken seriously enough to warrant an official investigation. The Expedient is a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the complexities of the War of Spanish Independence and the challenges faced by individuals caught in the crossfire of competing forces. The document is also a testament to the importance of local governance during a time of national upheaval, as the clergyman governor Avella took it upon himself to investigate and document the allegations against Coret. The Expedient is a manuscript, handwritten on parchment, and bears Avella's signature at the bottom. The document is a reminder of the rich historical heritage of Catalonia and Spain, and the importance of preserving such documents for future generations. The Expedient of Pere Coret is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the complexities of a time of war and political upheaval.
