Abstract
En el año 1455 Pedro Fernández de Velasco mandó redactar un Capitulado en el que expresa su voluntad de fundar y dotar un Hospital junto a la iglesia del Monasterio de Santa Clara de Medina de Pomar con el fin de salvar su ánima, la de su mujer, DoñaBeatriz de Manrique, así como la de sus antecesores. Este Capitulado es un cuadernillo de 28 folios en pergamino ricamente iluminado con una escena con Cristo crucificado,13 pobres arrodillados a sus pies, los pobres que vivirán en el Hospital, y un personaje con ropajes diferentes que identifico con el promotor en actitud orante. En este cuadernillo y a lo largo de 47 capítulos se especifica con todo lujo de detalles la normativa que debía regir la institución, así como un listado de bienes que el propio Pedro Fernández de Velasco seleccionó y dotó al conjunto Hospitalario. Entre ese listado encontramos 80 libros ordenados por material e idioma que constituyen la biblioteca personal del Conde de Haro. Sin embargo, esta cifra fue ampliada rápidamente ya que en 1553 el nuevo líder de la familia (Pedro Fernández de Velasco, Duque de Frías y Condestable de Castilla) mandó redactar un catálogo razonado de los libros que se hallaban en la biblioteca del Hospital con el fin de conocer los fondos de la misma. En menos de cien años la biblioteca había duplicado sus fondos quedando a mediados del siglo XVI un conjunto librario de 160 volúmenes...
In 1455 Pedro Fernandez de Velasco ordered redaction of a Capitulado in which he expressed his intention to establish and endow a Hospital alongside the church of the Monastery of Santa Clara de Medina de Pomar to ensure the salvation of his soul, that of his wife, Doña Beatriz de Manrique, and those of his ancestors. This Capitulado is a booklet of 28 sheets of parchment, richly illuminated with the image of Christ on thecrucifix. Thirteen beggars, the poor who will live in the Hospital, kneel at his feet and a character who I identify as the promoter is dressed in different attire and displays a state of prayerfulness. Across its 47 chapters, the booklet explains in great detail the norms according to which the institution would be governed and offers a comprehensive list of the goods that the owner, Pedro Fernandez de Velasco, selected for donation to the Hospital complex. The list includes 80 books classified by material and language that constitute the personal library of the Conde de Haro. The list expanded considerably in1553, when the new leader of the family (Pedro Fernández de Velasco, Duke of Frías and Condestable of Castille) commissioned a catalogue of the books found in the Hospital library to gain a comprehensive understanding of its content...
