The City Council of Caravaca, the Brotherhood of the True Cross and the Carmelite Fathers have published a book with the transcript of the 'State Book' or 'Book Calf' of the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites of Caravaca.
It is a historical work that reflects the events that took place in the convent between 1623 and 2005 and many relevant aspects related to life and local society.
The transcription and critical edition of this publication has been made by a team of experts composed of María Rosa Gil Almela, Mª Magdalena Campillo Méndez, Francisca Amorós Vidal, Diego Marín Ruiz de Assin and Ignacio Husillos Tamarit.
Since the foundation of the building, in 1587, by San Juan de la Cruz, the book reflects the properties and belongings of the convent, as well as the burials and biographical sketches of the friars and brothers who lived there.
It also includes avatars, happy and unfortunate, suffered by the institution.
In a certain way, the 'State Book' is a daily management document and even an accounting document, but due to the exhaustive data it contains, it is a documentary treasure that allows investigating historical aspects of all kinds.
