Abstract

Among the material donated in 1903 to University of Granada Library by the son of Juan F. Riaño we can find the imprints of three finger rings, a stone seal with Arabic text and another object. The article studies the shape of the rings, dates them and reads their inscriptions. In addition, it gives a brief biography of Riaño, the illustrious scholar and politician born in Granada, and some data about F. Valera, the owner of the rings. It documents the acquisition of Valera's jewel collection by J. I. Miró, who sold it afterwards (1876) to Madrid National Archaeological Museum, where one of the rings is still kept and shown.
