THE BROTHERHOOD OF MERCHANTS. AN ACTIVE PRESENCE OF SALAMANCA'S COMMERCE IN HOLY WEEK
Javier Blázquez
This 14th issue focuses on a significant commercial initiative in the city's social life: the history of the Brotherhood of Merchants. Heir to ancient guild initiatives, the Brotherhood of Merchants emerged at the beginning of the 20th century as a contribution from entrepreneurs to the religiosity of Salamanca's Holy Week.
All of this is discussed by Javier Blázquez, a renowned researcher of Salamanca's Holy Week, who has just published a second volume of his extensive history. Javier Blázquez offers us a rigorous and engaging text, outlining the role played by this brotherhood in the religious, social, and tourist activities of the capital… The brotherhood continues to this day, evolving over its more than 80 years of existence.
