Abstract
Esta tesis pretende, por un lado, estudiar las distintas bibliotecas de Gaspar de Haro y Guzmán, VII marqués del Carpio. Durante sus 58 años de vida reunió alrededor de 6.000 libros que repartió en sus residencias de Madrid, Lisboa, Roma y Nápoles, y que conocemos gracias a distintos inventarios que permiten un estudio completo y cronológico. Se ha atendido para el estudio al conjunto del inventario de bienes, y no sólo a la parte dedicada a los libros, permitiendo reconstruir no sólo el contenido de la biblioteca sino también su decoración y sus usos prácticos. En segundo lugar, se atiende al intencionado uso político de las letras (dedicatorias, usos de la imprenta, patronazgo) como arma para la lucha política y cortesana. La tesis aspira a ser un trabajo relacionado con el amplio campo de la Cultura escrita, entendida como aquella línea de investigación histórica que reflexiona sobre los procesos que generan documentación (impresa y manuscrita), sus usos y fines, así como los espacios y dispositivos que han permitido su conservación, no siempre de forma conjunta. Pero es sobre todo un estudio que podríamos englobar en el vasto campo de la Historia cultural de la política, tomando como case study a Gaspar de Haro y Guzmán...
This dissertation studies, on the one hand, the different libraries Gaspar de Haro y Guzmán, 7th Marquis of Carpio, possessed during his lifetime and, on the other, how the Marquis made a political use of the printed word and the elements linked to it (dedicatories, patronage networks, etc.), employing them as powerful tools for his political and courtly fights. In general terms this work can be classified as a study on Written culture, that is, a within line of historical research focused on analysing human practices which produce written documentation (regardless if handwritten or printed) by examining the uses and aims of these by-products as well as of the places and mechanisms that serve(d) to keep the documents. More specifically the study can be understood as an investigation within the field of the cultural history of politics, having Gaspar de Haro’s figure and career as case study. Gaspar de Haro y Guzmán (1629 – 1687) collected approximately 6.000 books, scattered between his residences in Madrid, Lisbon, Rome and Naples. The works he managed to reunite are known thanks to different inventories of his libraries, documents which allow to know not just the books the Spanish nobleman possessed but, up to a certain point, the moment when these books came into the libraries. Moreover, thanks to the inventarios de bienes (inventories of goods) conserved, which enlisted the objects the Marquis owned in his different residences, it is possible to make a more complete reconstruction of his life and his relation with printed objects, as the inventarios de bienes provide fundamental information on the rooms serving as libraries, their decoration and uses beyond serving as storage places for the books...
