‘The small world of Toledo's intellectual elite (early 13th century)’

This presentation will examine the relationships that may have existed, during the early XIIIth century, between the clerics who participated in what some have called 'the group of Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada', archbishop of Toledo, and the authors of the first Castilian romances of antiquity and encyclopaedias written in Spanish language. My research will focus on networks of knowledge and on the circulation of texts in the royal courts and the cathedrals of the kingdom of Castile, as I would like to understand the intellectual architecture which allowed those productions to take shape.
