El Hospital Real de Granada y sus constituciones de gobierno (1593–1857). Asistencia a los pobres y regulación social [Reseña bibliográfica]

Abstract

In this volume, the several ordinances endowed to the Hospital Real (Royal Hospital) of Granada through its history are edited and contextualised. The origins of this institution go back to 1526, when the hospitals of the Alhambra (1501) and of the Reyes (1504) founded by the Catholic monarchs after their conquest of the Muslim Nasrid Kingdom, were unified under this name. From then to its final closing in the mid-twentieth century, the Hospital Real (along with that of the Hospitaller Brothers of Saint John of God its Founder of 1537) was the main institution for health care and poor relief for the city and province of Granada.
