Abstract
La biblioteca Histórica Marqués de Valdecilla de la UCM de Madrid conserva entre sus fondos seis manuscritos en latín procedentes del Colegio mayor de San Ildefonso de Alcalá [BH MSS 72, 74, 75, 110, 112, 113]. Contienen sermones, manuales para el confesor, distinctiones e incluso obras de carácter parenético. Todos ellos comparten un tema común: el tratamiento de los vicios y las virtudes. En algunos de estos manuscritos el tema de los vicios o las virtudes aparece como central y está tratado ampliamente y en exclusividad; en otros, aparece desarrollado junto a otros temas morales. Fueron concebidos como instrumentos para facilitar al predicador su tarea en la predicación o catequesis. Este tipo de obras tuvo un gran auge durante la Edad Media, en especial entre los siglos XIII y XIV. El objetivo de este artículo es dar noticia de ellos, proceder a su identificación y descripción así como explicar su presencia en la colección primitiva de la Universidad Complutense.
The Historic Library of Complutense University of Madrid (Biblioteca Histórica Marqués de Valdecilla) houses six manuscripts in Latin from the Colegio Mayor de San Ildefonso (Alcalá de Henares) [BH MSS 72, 74, 75, 110, 112, 113]. These manuscripts contain guides for confessors, distinctiones, treatises and parenetical works. They all share the same subject matter: virtues and vices. Some of them deal with the topic more comprehensively than others where other topics are also addressed. They were conceived as instruments for preaching and catechesis. Books of this kind were very popular during the Middle Ages, particularly in the 13th and 14th centuries. This article aims to give notice, identify and describe them as well as to explain their presence in the Complutense University collection.
