Provenance: Confraternity of the Holy Cross of Horcajada; purchased in France with export license. An early Spanish confraternity manuscript containing the rules and statutes that governed the Confraternity of the Holy Cross referred to as the Cofradía or Hermandad de la Cruz the word Cruz being supplied by a Maltese cross in red of La Horcajada a town located in Castile y León in the province of Ãvila. As in other Roman Catholic countries confraternities or lay brotherhoods played a vital role in community life in Spain functioning as mutual aid societies and venues for laypeople to express their piety and perform charitable acts. Vernacular manuscript confraternity statutes from the Iberian peninsula surface much more rarely than for example their Italian counterparts although it appears that Spain had a larger number of confraternities proportional to the population especially in Castile y Leon than the other Catholic lands. Virtually every community including small villages had at least one confraternity. While exact numbers of confraternities in sixteenth-century Spain are unknown “studies carried out for a number of cities suggest that the number of confraternities and brotherhoods in the Hispanic kingdoms was larger than elsewhere in Catholic Europe. The reasons behind the extraordinary popularity of confraternities and brotherhoods in the Hispanic kingdoms cannot yet be established however in view of the current state of research on the topic. There has been a tendency for scholars to emphasize the confraternity as a primarily urban phenomenon a reflection perhaps of their early development in Italy where they formed an essential part of civic and urban life. In the Hispanic kingdoms however these institutions were equally important in the religious and social life of the small village. Pastoral visitations carried out by the bishops of Cuenca during the sixteenth century found that `nearly every community had at least one brotherhood’ even small villages of 500 inhabitants. A similar pattern prevailed in villages around Toledo during the late sixteenth century” Callahan pp. 18-19. In his article on Spanish confraternities William Callahan further points out their popular nature which “arose from the initiative of the laity rather than the clergy prime examples of the lay piety that began to flourish in late medieval Europe. This piety developed largely on its own uncontrolled by either local bishops or the pope both of whom regarded its manifestations with some suspicion. The resiliency of traditional confraternities and brotherhoods developed from their connection to local religious cultures. It also reflected a fact noted by scholars who have studied specific cities and regions the strongly popular character of membership. There were of course some associations that limited membership to the nobility or clergy but in most cases members were recruited from the popular classes. This was obviously true in the case of peasant villages where only one or two confraternities existed.” pp. 22-23. In spite of the centrality of confraternities to early modern religious life in Spain there is comparatively little modern scholarly literature especially on the rural confraternities. Note the absence for example of any articles on Spain or Portugal in Brill’s recently published Companion to Medieval and Early Modern Confraternities edited by Konrad Eisenbichler. This working manuscript bears witness to this central but understudied aspect of Spanish popular religious culture before the restrictions placed on confraternities by the Council of Trent and succeeding Popes. Consulted frequently and contributed to by members of the confraternity the manuscript includes abundant interlinear and marginal additions and corrections and half- or full-page later additions. The town of La Horcajada is identified in the opening page. Ff. 1r to 5v contain the introduction the first 30 statutes and a notarized testimony with heading “Este es traslado de un testimonio” which relates to the apparently recent establishment of the confraternity. The statutes cover admission of new members general rules of comportment requirements of prayer and confession for feast days and for the canonical hours charity for poorer members of the confraternity chants etc. Several paragraphs relate to processions including required habits and admission of non-members into the processions. On f. 6r a paragraph on the procession de la Resurrection is followed by six entries numbered 32 to 37 of which paragraphs 33 to 37 are in a later 16th-century hand. Several light diagonal lines through these five paragraphs may indicate that they were cancelled. The verso f.6v contains only five lines heavily cancelled in red ink and f. 7r continues discussion of the procession of the Resurrection on a feast day the name of the saint is smudged and on Easter Sunday in a different 16th-century upright cursive. This second section of which portions are difficult to read because of fading ends on f. 7v and is followed by a note in a larger hand dated from La Horcajada 21 May 1550. The final leaf and inner back cover contain later additions some quite faded. One late addition in the lower margin of f. 5v is dated 1615. The manuscript is decorated in a popular style. Some of the leafy plant designs have a thorny look that may reflect local vegetation. Animals and grotesques include a scorpion-like creature birds and possibly imaginary mammals. A witness to the central role played by religious confraternities in early modern Spain bearing the marks of its use and in original condition it is a rare survival and would repay further study. Cf.

Cole Pruitt is a postdoctoral researcher in the Design Physics Division at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. His research interests include nuclear data and reaction theory nuclear weapons policy and science communication. Prior to joining the laboratory he co-directed/produced The Surrounding Game 2017 the first feature documentary about the game of Go. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Washington University in St. Louis and a Bachelor of Science in biophysics from Brown University. Wes Spain was a CGSR senior fellow from 2014 until his retirement in 2021. He joined the laboratory in 1997 and served in multiple leadership positions including director of the Office of Strategic Outcomes Intelligence program director and Z Division leader. Before joining LLNL he served with Central Intelligence Agency and the United States Army. He received an MA in international relations from Boston University. This volume addresses squarely the responsibility of scientists and technologists at this laboratory and elsewhere to create the needed bridge to the policymaker. More than that it offers practical advice on how to be effective in the policy environment. The monograph grows out of the experience of lab technical staff with programmatic activities at the Center for Global Security Research where such bridge-building is an ever-present project. It also grows out of their own professional experience serving as advisors whether formally or informally to decisionmakers in Washington DC. The authors sift through these experiences for lessons of enduring value to the bridge builders. In making their case they draw effectively on a case study—the provision of technical advice to policymakers on the threat from electromagnetic pulse weapons. The result should be of value to any member of the laboratory's technical community seeking a better understanding of how to be effective in ensuring that policy judgments are technically sound. When thrust into a policymaking environment scientific advisors—isolated from the norms and protocols of their technical fields and often without policymaking experience themselves—stand to benefit from the guideposts for advising that we identify in this paper. Rather than advocate for specific formal changes to the structure of existing policymaking institutions we explore the many roles science advisors can play when engaging on thorny national security topics. While technological progress presents new challenges many of the difficulties faced by advisors such as uncertain and limited data conflicting values and risk tolerances and potential misalignment between policymaker expectations and scientific reality have plagued scientific advising since the earliest days of American governance. To focus our exploration we recruit four idealized technical advisor roles identified by Roger Pielke Jr. in The Honest Broker. In a series of fictional dialogues rooted in actual Congressional testimony we examine the threat from high-altitude nuclear electromagnetic pulse or EMP a national security topic that lays bare many challenges for technical advisors.
