L’Obra Pía de los Santos Lugares come antesignano di successo delle proposte di erari pubblici nella Monarchia cattolica (secoli XV-XVII)
The Obra Pía de los Santos Lugares as a successful forerunner of public treasury proposals in the Catholic Monarchy (15th-17th centuries)
Abstract
The aim of this article is to develop a comparison between the Pious Work of the Holy Places of Jerusalem - that is, that economic and financial framework founded by the Catholic Monarchy and capable of financing the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land - and the proposal, repeatedly reiterated, of public treasury to heal the finances of the Crown between the 16th and 17th centuries. Although at first sight these two institutions, the first successfully built and the second only planned, may seem very distant from each other, we will see how the points of contact between the Obra Pía and the public treasuries were multiple and had their own roots in a development of economics and finance regulated by the implementation of Franciscan and Catholic thought.
In questo articolo viene sviluppata una comparazione tra l’Obra Pía de los Santos Lugares di Gerualemme - quell’impalcatura economica e finanziaria fondata dalla Monarchia cattolica e in grado di finanziare la Custodia francescana di Terra Santa - e la proposta di erari pubblici per sanare le finanze della Corona tra XVI e XVII secolo. Sebbene a prima vista queste due istituzioni, la prima realizzata con successo, e la seconda solamente progettata, possano sembrare tra loro molto distanti, in realtà vedremo come i punti di contatto tra le due erano molteplici e affondavano le proprie radici in uno sviluppo dell’economia e della finanza regolato dall’attuazione del pensiero francescano e cattolico.
