During the Middle Ages the hospital network in Western Europe reached an extraordinary development. In the case of Seville this hospital expansion was very prominent, since the late fifteenth century had more than a hundred centres. The objective of this study is to demonstrate how the Sevillian secular clergy controlled hospital care in a very prominent way in the city of the Betis river. This translated into a prominent role in the religious nature of Sevillian hospitals, despite the presence of professionals linked to medicine within de hospital staff. In this way the Church of late medieval Seville instrumentalized the assistance needs as an element of its empowerment in the cuty what was to become the port and the gate way to the Indies.

In the first part of this work we define Andalusian brotherhoods and expose their main characteristics. We especially study their social composition and the numerous charitable activities that they developed. Those made them enjoy an indisputable role in the societies in which they were inserted. In a second section, we focus on the analysis of the phenomenon of public discipline. This practice definitely changed the nature and vocation of medieval brotherhoods during the Baroque. We analyze the theological bases of the flagellation and its diffusion through popular religiosity. We illustrate it with two very significant examples, the Brotherhoods of the Blood of Seville and Malaga. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Jerez de la Frontera and its wines enjoy an unquestionable reputation. The expansion of wine production and consumption in the Early Modern period was made possible by developments that began at the end of the Middle Ages, on which this paper focuses. Our aim is to analyze two products of the vine, raisins and wine, which had distinctive identifying characteristics in the period studied. It was in the fifteenth century that Jerez de la Frontera, according to its socioeconomic situation, became the second most important city of the Kingdom of Seville, due in part to the production of wine and the thriving community of merchants, as well as the activities associated with its pier (called El Portal) and the port at Bahía de Cádiz. The present study centers on the period from the fifteenth century through the turn of the sixteenth to examine the place of raisins and wines from Jerez in commercial circuits along the Mediterranean Sea and the north–south routes of the Atlantic Ocean.
