Abstract
El sabado 20 de enero de 1685, dia de San Sebastian, al prestar ayuda a un sacerdote que transportaba el Santo Viatico hacia la morada de un campesino moribundo, Carlos II protagonizo uno de los principales acontecimientos de su reinado. Este episodio contribuyo, quiza como ningun otro, a alimentar el elaborado discurso politico-confesional y propagandistico de una monarquia catolica en la que la religion se habia convertido no solo en un pilar fundamental, sino tambien en el verdadero sustento de la identidad politica y dinastica de los Habsburgo. De entre cuantas obras literarias y muestras artisticas se produjeron con motivo de la religiosa accion del monarca espanol cabe destacar una academia literaria, la que albergo en su casa Pedro de Arce, regidor de la villa de Madrid. Mediante su participacion en esta reunion literaria, el selecto grupo de poetas —reconocidos o no— que la integraban quiso poner de manifiesto su particular adhesion a la monarquia del ultimo representante de la Casa de Austria. Nuestro trabajo ofrece un detenido estudio, asi como la edicion critica de esta original y excepcional academia literaria. PALABRAS CLAVE Academias literarias, Barroco, Carlos II, Literatura cortesana, Poesia de elogio __ On Saturday, January 20th, 1685, on St. Sebastian’s day, when he helped a priest carrying the Viaticum to the abode of a dying peasant, Charles II carried out one of the principal events of his reign. This episode contributed, perhaps like no other, to nourishing the elaborate, confessional and propagandistic discourse of a Catholic monarchy in which religion had become not only a fundamental pillar but also in the true sustenance of the political and dynastic identity of the Habsburgs. Among literary works and artistic samples were produced by the religious action of the Spanish monarch include a literary academy, which housed Pedro de Arce, councilor of the villa of Madrid. Through their participation in this literary meeting, the select group of poets —recognized or not— that integrated it wanted to show their particular support to the monarchy of the last representative of the House of Austria. Our paper offers a detailed study, as well as the critical edition of this original and exceptional literary academy.
