Abstract

This article presents the interesting rule of the Brotherhood of the Rosary of the Badajoz town of Burguillos del Cerro from 1588, that is, in the stage of uni-versalization of Rosario after the Council of Trent and the great victory of Lepanto. The tenor of the chapters evidences a double character in the brotherhood: firstly, that it is a corporation predominantly of suffrage and, secondly, its cultic and festive dimension. This rule adapts with originality and realism the universal nature of the Brotherhood to the environment and local interests.
