Abstract: A three-parameter family $B=B(a,b,c)$ of weighted Hankel matrices is introduced with the entries [ B_{j,k}=frac{Gamma(j+k+a)}{Gamma(j+k+b+c)},sqrt{frac{Gamma(j+b)Gamma(j+c)Gamma(k+b)Gamma(k+c)}{Gamma(j+a), j!,Gamma(k+a), k!}},, ] $j,kinmathbb{Z}_{+}$, supposing $a$, $b$, $c$ are positive and $a<b+c$, $b<a+c$, $cleqa+b$. The famous Hilbert matrix is included as a particular case. The direct sum $B(a,b,c)oplusB(a+1,b+1,c)$ is shown to commute with a discrete analog of the dilatation operator. It follows that there exists a three-parameter family of real symmetric Jacobi matrices, $T(a,b,c)$, commuting with $B(a,b,c)$. The orthogonal polynomials associated with $T(a,b,c)$ turn out to be the continuous dual Hahn polynomials. Consequently, a unitary mapping $U$ diagonalizing $T(a,b,c)$ can be constructed explicitly. At the same time, $U$ diagonalizes $B(a,b,c)$ and the spectrum of this matrix operator is shown to be purely absolutely continuous and filling the interval $[0,M(a,b,c)]$ where $M(a,b,c)$ is known explicitly. If the assumption $cleqa+b$ is relaxed while the remaining inequalities on $a$, $b$, $c$ are all supposed to be valid, the spectrum contains also a finite discrete part lying above the threshold $M(a,b,c)$. Again, all eigenvalues and eigenvectors are described explicitly.
