An incursion into medieval cultural production through the study of the cathedral schools of the Castilian Middle Ages. We did not have a basic work, prepared from the exhaustive analysis of the existing sources in that immense and inexhaustible documentary collection that are the cathedral archives. The book that is being released today and that Susana puts in your hands is the global and perfectly systematized result of almost 20 years of research. The first part is dedicated to the functional analysis of these cathedral institutions in all their variables. The second deals with the "wardrobes" and bookstores of all the cabildos studied, organizing the works by themes: almost always theological-pastoral, liturgical or legal, which logically responds to the social and cultural appearance of its preferential users, the capitulars , who also came out of the classrooms of the "General Studies" of the time converted into experts "wise of Law" and prepared to effectively fulfill the duties of the episcopal curias or the political administration. A suggestive study of the "magistri" of those schools and their training programs covers the final part of the rigorous and well-outlined work.
