Frontera", which looks at the religious role of the Genoese community at Jerez . According to Mingorance Ruiz, the Ligurian colony was first associated with a late-fifteenth-century "congregation" dedicated to St. Catherine of Siena located in the convent of St. Dominic, which was in charge of a religious hospice that helped those in need (348). In 1546, the congregation moved the Church of St. Catherine of Siena and became known officially as the Confraternity of the Name of Jesus. Devotion to the Name of Jesus first developed among the Franciscans, who wished to emphasise Christ's humanity, but later spread to the Dominican Order, where it was used to combat the sin of blasphemy (346-347). Mingorance Ruiz posits that it is in the latter context that the Genoese confraternity developed (349). The paper is rich in information and, while its arguments become muddled at certain points, they are clarified in the conclusion (354) and also by the inclusion of an appendix of the many primary documents cited (355)(356)(357)(358)(359)(360)(361)(362)(363).This collection of fine articles is a testament to the rigorous scholarship practiced and taught by the volume's honoured recipient, professor José Sánchez Herrero. While there is still much that remains to be said about the confraternities of Seville, the research included in this collection makes significant headways into previously unstudied areas. The reader will be left in happy anticipation of future studies to come.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
