Complutense University of Madrid
The current Complutense University of Madrid was founded by Cardinal Cisneros as a result of the “Inter cetera” Papal Bull granted by Pope Alexander VI on 13 April 1499. This Papal Bull provided the Cardinal with the power to found and construct a College of Scholars located in Alcalá de Henares. The three documents that come from the pontifical chancery date back to the same date. The “Inter cetera” document belongs to the category of papal bull, so it is not a bull or “littera solemne”, but a “littera graciosa” or grant letter. It is a piece of parchment with semi-gothic lettering that is conserved in the National Historical Archive.
