Abstract
El monasterio de san Benito el Real de Valladolid fue uno de los más importantes cenobios benedictinos castellanos entre los siglos XIV y XVI. Fue fundado en 1390 por Juan I de Castilla y desde muy pronto se convirtió en un foco potente de renovación espiritual. Bajo la dinastía Trastámara, san Benito de Valladolid desarrolló una extensa red de monasterios sometidos a la autoridad de sus priores y abades. También influyó en la renovación religiosa de otras congregaciones religiosas castellanas. Su modelo de vida, austera y observante, fue amparado y protegido por la corona castellana, la Santa Sede y los estamentos del reino. En el “Libro de los Bienhechores” se fueron recogiendo a lo largo del tiempo los donantes que hicieron posible su existencia. La edición de este importante códice iluminado permite conocer mejor las intensas relaciones que hubo entre la comunidad benedictina y la sociedad de su tiempo. Por último, el “Libro de los Bienhechores” ofrece una interesante visión de los usos estéticos y codicológicos de la época.
The monastery of ‘San Benito el Real’ in Valladolid was one of the most important Castilian Benedictine monasteries between the 14th and 16th centuries. It was founded in 1390 by Juan I of Castile and from very early on it became a powerful focus of spiritual renewal. Under the Trastamara dynasty, San Benito of Valladolid developed an extensive network of monasteries under the authority of his priors and abbots. He also influenced the religious renewal of other Castilian religious congregations. His model of life, austere and observant, was protected by the Castilian crown, the Holy See and the estates of the kingdom. In the "Book of Benefactors" the donors who made its existence possible were collected over time. The edition of this important illuminated codex allows us to better understand the intense relations that existed between the Benedictine community and the society of its time. Finally, the "Book of Benefactors" offers an interesting vision of the aesthetic and codicological uses of the time.
