He fled Spain during the Franco regime as a teenager. His father was shot in front of him, which was quite traumatic. He came to England with no identification documents e.g. birth certificate or passport in the late 1950's and was given the right to stay. He has never had a UK passport or travelled outside the UK. I understand that he longs to return to Spain in his final years and see if he can find any relatives. Can you give me some guidance on how I might help him apply for a Spanish passport ? Over the years he has never been able to get any copies of his birth certificate from Spain as these were destroyed and the Spanish Embassy in London was not very helpful to him. I would appreciate any advice. Jacqui I read your article with interest – ‘pacto de olvido’

]]> Comment on Replicated Jerusalems by Adam http://www.agbeaver.com/2008/05/12/replicated-jerusalems/comment-page-1/#comment-52 Adam Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:46:01 +0000 http://www.agbeaver.com/?p=39#comment-52 <a href="http://www.york.ac.uk/depts/hist/staff/ditchfie.shtml" rel="nofollow">Simon Ditchfield</a> has written to add two new references to my growing collection of Jerusalem replicas. The first is Nicholas Guyatt's <a href"http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061152245/Have_a_Nice_Doomsday/index.aspx" rel="nofollow"><i>Have a Nice Doomsday</i></a>, which mentions the fact that John Hagee "has (quoting Simon) constructed a scale model of the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem into which he encourages his flock to insert prayers (gaps between the stones have been left deliberately for this purpose)." The second reference is quite a bit older: Lorenzo Longo, <i>Gerusalemme Piacentina … cioe' chiese e luoghi di Piacenza corrispondenti in sito a luoghi santi di Gerusalemme</i> (Piacenza, 1659). To quote Simon again, "the author asks his readers to associate various buildings in the north Italian city with scenes of the passion." That reminds me of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11064a.htm" rel="nofollow">Niccolò da Osimo</a>'s <i>Zardino de oratione fructuoso</i> (Venice, 1494), which encourages the reader to do the same as a propadeutic to Passion meditation.
