Abstract
This work analyses the iconography and gives concrete expression to the date and origin of all thirty-five Nazari tiles decorated in cobalt and metallic mirror from which we have identified as a plash of Santiago in the former St Barthélemy church, which was created in the jury of Córdoba after the assault in 1391. It is also suggested that Diego Fernández Abcalçin, judeoconverso and alfaqueque greater than the King and presumably the principal of the funerary cloth purchased the tiles. Until now, the only interpretation of the scenes that decorate them pointed to an alleged representation of the senses’ claims; however, comparison with parallel examples, studying the clothes of characters and style leads us to identify them as embodying the tastes and hobbies of the privileged classes at the beginning of the 15th century: cortés love, hunting, fauna, ministriles – especially caecum accompanied by balls –, danzarins and wine tasters; the habits that the alfaqueque met during his periods of cutting and performing his duties, not only as a writer of Christian captives, but also as trujiman and sending of the infant dant Fernando – the future King of Aragon – during the Antequera campaign in front of the Nazarita de Granada and in the subsequent surrences signed with Yusuf III, which has made it possible to specify the dates of the tiles between 1410 and 1415.
