Abstract
El presente trabajo estudia la biografía piadosa del hermano lego fray Pablo de Santa María, compuesta por fray Jerónimo Moreno para difundir sus virtudes y milagros. Fray Pablo fue un santo vivo y popular en la Sevilla de finales del siglo XVI y su Vida es representativa del subgénero de hagiografías de venerables no canonizados que tuvo amplia fortuna en la España del barroco. Se analizan los modelos hagiográficos que inspiraron la figura del humilde portero, padre de pobres y consuelo de afligidos. El libro como objeto de devoción y exponente de un discurso del desengaño de los sentidos que funciona como paráfrasis del retrato o vera efigie del siervo de Dios. La escena de la muerte, clímax del proceso de desvelamiento de las gracias del fraile oculto para sus íntimos y devotos. Finalmente el repertorio de milagros de sanación que obran sus reliquias, sermón ad hoc, basado en historias y ejemplos de sus devotos.

Description
This article studies the biography of the brother Fray Pablo de Santa María by Fray Jerónimo Moreno to spread his virtues and miracles. Fray Pablo was a walking saint, a popular man in Seville at the end of the XVI century and his Life is representative of the subgenre of the venerable men not canonised that was great success in the Baroque era. The first part of the study analyses the hagiographic model that led to the figure of the humble doorkeeper, "father or the poor", comforter of the afflicted people. In the second place it focus on the book like a devotional object and a perfect example of the baroque speech of the disillusionment of the senses that works us a paraphrase of the vero icono from the servant of the Lord. Subsequently, the scene of the death reaches the climax of the process of verifying the spiritual graces that God makes in his son to grant his friends. Finally, the repertory of the miracles of healing through his relics seems a sermon base on the stories and examples of his devotees.
