After a brief introduction to the Confraternity of St. Anne in Dos Hermanas (Spain), this article offers a transcription of its orig­inal 1523 statutes and their translation into English. Aside from be­ing the oldest surviving document from Dos Hermanas, these statutes outline the confraternity’s social and devotional objectives and point to the full participation of both men and women in its administration and activities.
