The Collective Indulgence for the General Hospital was produced in 1590, 78 years after the unification of Valencian hospitals at the behest of Ferdinand II, King of Aragon. Awarding papal privileges, the indulgence is "collective" because a group of prelates granted it. The indulgence has a painted border, punctuated by the coats of arms of Pope Sixtus V and Ferdinand and three roundels with Christian subjects. One depicts Christ presenting the crown of thorns to the Virgin Mary, an image that recurs throughout historic paperwork relating to the General Hospital.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
