The Participation of the Hospital of the Holy Cross in the Second-Hand Market through the Notarial Documentation (Barcelona, 1422-1458)
Abstract
Through never-used-before notarial sources, this article represents the first attempt to set the basis to understand how the Hospital of the Holy Cross of Barcelona fits in the second-hand market. The results show that the hospital of Barcelona was an important supplier of the market and was concerned about the good running of the auctions. Some graphics have been included in order to offer new data about the funding of the institution during the 15th century.
Mediante el empleo de documentación notarial inédita, la presente investigación quiere ser una primera aportación para entender el encaje del Hospital de la Santa Cruz de Barcelona en los encantes. Los resultados muestran cómo esta institución fue una importante proveedora de dicho mercado, preocupada por el control de los objetos que subastaba y por el adecuado desarrollo de las subastas. Algunos gráficos complementan el estudio, a fin de ofrecer nuevos datos relacionados con la financiación del hospital durante el siglo XV.
