Abstract

Abstract The Relación de la fiesta que se hizo en Sevilla a la beatificación del glorioso san Ignacio… (Seville, 1610) is an occasional text that clearly reflects the propaganda mechanisms of the time. Luque Fajardo’s description of the festivals and the event held create the appropriate context for a text that bears many similarities with some of its previous models. However, its unifying character is novel and will serve as a model for subsequent religious celebrations. Precisely because of its particular circumstantial character, an approach from the point of view of the sociology of literature is especially pertinent.
