Abstract
The archives of the First Brotherhood of Our Lady of El Rocío of Almonte hold an interesting manuscript of its rules, from 1758. We will analise this document from a historic, diplomatic and codicological perspective in order to determine the date of drafting. We will study at the same time the organisation of the Brotherhood trough its rules, the conditions to became a brother, some important celebrations –in particular Whitsun–, the Brotherhoods that took part in the pilgrimage, and other information about Our Lady's shrine. We will complete this work with critical apparatus of this text.
