| Sumario: | This article explores the medieval customary of the royal convent of Las Huelgas of Burgos, a hitherto unpublished document of critical importance for the knowledge of one of the most emblematic institutions of medieval Castile. The manuscript, compiled by female scribes at some time between 1390 and 1406, represents the first concrete evidence of the Las Huelgas nuns' ability to write and compile codices. The article discusses aspects of monastic topography, the distribution of liturgical duties between nuns and clerics, and the anniversary celebrations of members of the royalty. An extensive appendix provides an edition of the most representative chapters of the customary. |
