A la moda ilustrada o a la vieja usanza nobiliar. Viviendas del clero capitular burgalés en el siglo XVIII

A study of probate inventories from the clergy of Burgos Cathedral in the 18th century reveals stark contrasts in lifestyle, material culture, and ideological profiles among members. Some clergy adhered to traditional aristocratic customs, while others embraced more modern, Enlightenment-inspired practices associated with a middle-class, progressive mindset. This research sheds light on the evolving social dynamics within the ecclesiastical hierarchy during this period, illustrating a divide between conservative and progressive sensibilities. The analysis of these inventories provides a unique window into the material and ideological shifts occurring among the clergy, reflecting broader societal changes in 18th-century Spain.
