El Monasterio de San Salvador de Oña. Economía agraria, sociedad rural (1011 -1399)

Abstract

This work was presented as a University Doctoral Thesis at the Faculty of Aix en Provence (France) under the direction of Prof. Georges Duby. The initial plan and the relevant preparation were the result of a seminar that Marta Bonaudo attended with Prof. Reyna Pastor de Togneri. Written and defended before the Bachelor's Thesis, it was published in Cuadernos de Historia de España LI-LII in 1970. The topics dealt with are related to the characteristics of the Castilian economic growth that took place between the 11th and 14th centuries. From a microstructural study -as the author calls it- of the Monastery of San Salvador de Oña. Supported by a large body of documents, it describes the rural landscape, the exploitation techniques, the characteristics of the great domain and its relationship with the inhabitants of the village. This is a research work that is framed in the social history that was profoundly innovative in those years, both for Spanish and Argentine historiography, and that can be understood as a type of approach that its author, even when she devoted herself to other problems, regions and periods, never abandoned.
