A propósito de la autoría de la Garcineida: el obispo de Burgos García de Aznárez y su sátira política y eclesiástica en el siglo XI

A groundbreaking study attributes the composition of the Garcineida, a significant medieval text, to Bishop García de Aznárez of Burgos, previously unknown as its author. The research, based on historical documents from Burgos Cathedral's archives, establishes 1099 as the text's origin date and provides biographical details about García de Aznárez and his family, previously undocumented. The Garcineida is notable for being the first work by a Castilian cleric advocating for urgent Church reform in the Middle Ages, setting a precedent later followed by figures like Gonzalo de Berceo and the author of the Libro de Alexandre. This study sheds new light on medieval ecclesiastical and political satire, offering insights into the intellectual and social dynamics of 11th-century Castile.
