Abstract

This article focuses on the canonization process of Madrid’s patron saint, san Isidro Labrador, in the post-Tridentine context of the city’s transformation into the permanent seat of the Court. The first part of the article deals with the difficulties posed by the local worship of the incorrupt body of this farmer who had died centuries before and was considered a saint, but lacked formal ecclesiastical recognition. The second part analyzes Spanish diplomatic correspondence during the years that the process lasted. While St Isidore’s status as a local and well-established saint was decisive, the correspondence reveals Spain’s attempt to directly achieve the canonization of a figure who was now the patron not only of the Villa (town) but also of the Corte (court).

Abstract

The book "Santi in posa. L'influsso della fotografia sull'immaginario religioso" analyzes the impact of photography on the worship of saints and its dissemination. The chapters of the book explore how photography has transformed hagiographic worship since the mid-19th century, being quickly accepted by the ecclesiastical hierarchy as a tool for devotional extension. Photography became a relic that acquired a sacred and miraculous dimension, and its use was standardized as a primary way of relating to the sacred. This pioneering book invites us to open new fields of analysis on the use of modern elements in the extension of devotions. The article "Riti, culti e santi" written by César Rina Simón from the University of Extremadura, is found in the journal MEMORIA Y CIVILIZACIÓN. The author provides a brief review of the work of the same name, which was published in 2017. The article consists of three pages and can be accessed through a provided link.
