Cultural Nationalism and the Study of Liturgy in Eighteenth-Century Spain
I will travel to Madrid and Toledo, Spain, to complete my study of primary sources emanating from the work of the Jesuit Andrés Marcos Burriel for the Royal Commission on the Archives under Ferdinand VI in 1749-56. The materials to be consulted are housed (in Madrid) in the Biblioteca Nacional, the Biblioteca del Palacio Real, and the Real Academia de la Historia, and (in Toledo) in the Archivo Catedral and the Biblioteca de Castilla y Leon. The ultimate outcome of my work will be a monograph on Burriel's study of the medieval Iberian liturgy as an expression of cultural nationalism in the context of the Spanish enlightenment, and its importance within the intellectual climate of Bourbon Spain before the suppression of the Jesuit order.
