In English | Unsigned letter from Bartolomé José de Ocampo y Mata, the bishop of Plasencia, to José Durán de Hinojal The author informs José Durán of the news regarding his ministry and gives him certain instructions regarding the bishopric´s businesses. In 1704, José Gregorio de Rojas, the new bishop of Plasencia, sued the executor of the former bishop´s properties. He wanted him to bear the costs from the reparations of the bishopric´s houses and palaces. Several buildings from the Episcopal dignity located in Plasencia, Béjar, Piornal and Jaraicejo; were in a dilapidated condition. These problems were not new, in 1692 a similar lawsuit had been lodged and it was rendered void. A thorough examination was commissioned by the new bishop in order to determine the state of the different palaces and houses, as well as the former bishop´s management for all these matters. In the inquiry carried out regarding Jaraicejo´s buildings, one of the witnesses, José Durán Hinojal, presented several letters which proved the deceased bishop´s attempts to do the essential repairs. |
