Abstract
En el presente trabajo se da a conocer a Miguel Calderón de la Barca, figura de relieve por su carrera jurídica, pero sobre todo por las donaciones y legado artístico que enriquecieron el patrimonio cultural de la villa de Conil de la Frontera y el tesoro de la Iglesia Catedral de Cádiz. Los estudios que se habían efectuado hasta el momento eran parciales e incompletos, algo que se ha pretendido subsanar con la aportación de datos inéditos mediante los que recomponer la biografía del personaje, al tiempo que se ha procurado la comprensión y análisis profundo del momento histórico y manifestaciones artísticas ligadas a Calderón. Ha sido preciso recurrir a fuentes de diversa índole para poder cumplir estos objetivos. En la fase heurística de la investigación, realizamos la consulta y recopilación de la documentación manuscrita que se halla dispersa en archivos andaluces y madrileños. En concreto, el Archivo General de Indias es el principal repositorio para lo tocante al nombramiento de Calderón como oidor de la Real Audiencia de Nueva España en 1689 y el desempeño de sus funciones como ministro; el Archivo Histórico Nacional lo es, a su vez, para complementar la información tocante a la provisión de la plaza de toga en el Real y Supremo Consejo de las Indias en 1707. Por último, los archivos históricos de protocolos de Madrid, Cádiz y Conil, y los eclesiásticos –parroquiales, diocesano y catedralicio– de la capital y localidad de la expresada provincia gaditana, han suministrado las noticias útiles de la historia personal y familiar de don Miguel: bautismo, matrimonios, poderes para testar y testamento. No sólo eso. En su acervo hemos descubierto algo más: inventarios de bienes dotales y de la testamentaría –estos con la consiguiente tasación y almoneda–, escrituras de fundación de capellanías y donación de piezas de plata y pintura de señalada importancia a las fábricas de los templos de Conil y de la catedral de Cádiz...
The present work focuses on Miguel Calderón de la Barca, prominent figure for his legal career, but mainly for his donations and artistic legacy that enriched the cultural heritage of Conil de la Frontera and the treasure of the Holy Cathedral of Cádiz. The prior works that had been made up to now were biased and incomplete. Such issues have been addressed by way of unpublished data with which we have aimed to reassemble his biography, and that has also served as means to achieve a deeper understanding and to conduct a thorough analysis of the historical moment and artistic manifestations linked to Calderón. It has been necessary to resort to miscellaneous sources in order to achieve such goals. In the heuristic phase of our research, we carried out the consultation and compilation of the handwritten documents and records in Andalusian and Madrilenian archives. In particular, the General Archive of the Indies (Archivo General de Indias) is the main repository with regards to the nomination of Calderón, in 1689, as the judge of the Royal Court of New Spain and the performance of his duties as minister; the National Historical Archive (Archivo Histórico Nacional) is also a repository to complement the information pertaining to the provision of the position in the Supreme Council of the Indies in 1707. Finally, the Notarial Archives of Madrid, Cádiz and Conil, and the Ecclesiastical ones of the capital city and of the location of the above mentioned province of Cádiz, have supplied the news of the personal and family background of Mr. Calderón: baptism, weddings, capitulations, powers to vouch and testament. Moreover, among his collection we found: inventories of endowment goods and from the testamentary –these with its subsequent appraisal and auction value–, incorporation deeds of chaplaincies, and donation of silver pieces and paintings of remarkable importance to the temples of Conil and the Cádiz Cathedral...
