“…Interest in pilgrimages to Santiago, and by extension to Padrón, waned across the 16 th through the 19 th centuries (Rey Castelao, 2020). By the mid-20 th century, in Padrón, city administrators used sand and asphalt to pave over the silted-in meander of the Sar that had purportedly contained Santiago’s stone boat, and the location was lost (Olaya, 2018).…”

The granite block of O Pedrón, a recarved Roman altar to Neptune, is an object of veneration at the church of St. James in the town of Padrón along the Camino de Santiago in Galicia, northwest Iberia. I use this enchanting object as a vehicle for thinking about materials, assemblages, and time, engaging with ideas drawn from Bergson, Benjamin, Deleuze, and Husserl. I describe how O Pedrón has participated in events across two millennia: the Roman colonization of Iron Age Iberia; the medieval creation of the cult of Santiago; and a contemporary push for tourism. The concept of assemblage helps us visualize the sensory, emotional, political, and other dimensions connected with the stone. The emergent properties of assemblages move not only forward but backward in time, in a process characterized by Husserl and Gell as protension and retension.

“…Este escepticismo tuvo pronta contestación en obras como la Crónica General de España de Ambrosio de Morales, o en la Historia General de España del jesuita Juan de Mariana, así como en cantidad de monografías apologéticas de Santiago, entre las que descuellan la de Mauro Castellá Ferrer, editada en 1610, o la del dominico fray Hernando de Ojea, publicada dos años después. Para entonces, en estas grietas abiertas hacia la figura de Santiago ya había hendido el Carmelo, exultante por hacer de la beatificada Teresa la patrona estatal (Rey Castelao, 1985: 31-146. Ídem, 2006: 77-86.…”

The city of Seville professed a great worship of Saint James the Moor-slayer between the 16thand 18thcenturies. This study analyses the reasons why such a cult took root in Seville, converting the city into an authentic Jacobean capital. Likewise, it delves into an analysis of the artistic works that emerged there as a consequence of the worship of Saint James, with special attention devoted to the different motivations of it promoters for undertaking those works of art. KEYWORDS: Saint James the Moor-slayer; Seville; Patronage of Spain; Chapter of Seville; Gonzalo Argote de Molina.

PALABRAS CLAVES: Santiago Matamoros; Sevilla; patronato de España; Cabildo de Sevilla, Gonzalo Argote de Molina.
