Extract

In the middle of the fourteenth century the Castilian Church was suffering severe strains. Falling rents exacerbated by plague were affecting many monasteries and making it difficult for them to maintain discipline. At the same time the nature of the regime of Pedro 1 drove a distinguished group of secular clergy into exile in France and Italy. An alternative reaction lay in seeking the eremitical life, and this was to lead to the remarkable phenomenon of the Jeronimite Order. The cause of ecclesiastical reform was to be sustained by both exiles and hermits.

The great historian of the Jeronimite Order sometimes fails to cite his sources. He is naturally less reliable on the centuries before the founding of the order in 1373 than on those thereafter. Revuelta is often able to cite the original documents on which Sigüenza relied and sometimes to correct him. Fernando Y´ñez was chief chaplain of the capilla de los reyes viejos in Toledo Cathedral (Pedro de la Vega, Cronica de losfrayles de la orden del bienaventurado Sant Hicronymo (Alcal´ 1539), fos. ix r–xv in Madrid, Ignacio de, ‘La Bula fundacional de la Orden de San Jerónimo’, Yermo, xi, 1–2 (1973), 5–6Google Scholar, and in Studia Hiennymiana, Madrid 1973Google Scholar.

13 On the instruction of Benedict XIII the Jeronimites were helped at their first Chapter General (1415) by the advice of two Carthusian monks from El Paular (Gómez, I. M., ‘Jerónimos y Cartujos’, Yermo, xi, 1–2 (1973), 148–50Google Scholar; Sigüenza, Historia, i. 277–80 and esp. 279).

He went on to Portugal, but returned eventually to found the house of San Jerónimo de Valparaiso de Córdoba in 1405. He was said to have been of the noble house of Sousa (MS. Escorial, Ç.

No attempt is made in this article to trace the story of the Jeronimites in Portugal.

17 Alcina suggests that seven or eight of the disciples became foci for anchorites living at Castañar and Villaescusa (cf. Alcina, L., ‘Fray Olmedo y sus discutida obra mon´stica’, Yermo, ii, 1 (1964), 30Google Scholar.

38 Their names were Maria Garcí and María Gómez. They had come from Toledo where they were to inspire the setting up of a beatario of holy women, incorporated into the Jeronimite Order in 1510 as the house of San Pablo de Toledo (Sigüenza, Historia, i. 53, cf. Revuelta, Los Jerónimos, 145, 300–5).

Another crucial step was to secure the support of Isabel de Avila, widow of Ruy González de Avellaneda, who agreed to divert the considerable endowment which Ruy González had wished to be used to found a monastery of Jeronimites in Santa Maria de Viñas, Aranda de Duero, to Nuestra Señora de Prado, cf. Archivo Historico Nacional (hereafter cited as AHN), Clero, carpeta 3512, no. 18; 1513, nos. 3 and 4.

The Rule of St Benedict had envisaged that anchorites or hermits would have served a mature probation in monasteries where they would have learned by the example of their fellow-monks how to fight the devil (Western Asceticism, Chadwick, O.

Eight volumes of Acts of the Chapters General survive. The two oldest volumes are Archivo General del Palacio, Palacio Real, Madrid, leg. 1. 790. The six more modern volumes are kept at El Parral (cf. Revuelta, Los Jerónimos, 29, 35).

112 Born at Olmedo of the ancient family of González, he was a graduate of Perugia University and the friend of Martin v. A lawyer at the Curia, he had become Doctor of Both Laws; as a diplomat he had been an envoy to Enrique in and Juann of Castile. Sigüenza alleges that he actually became a Carthusian (Historia, i. 308, 310). His brother was certainly prior of the Carthusian house of El Paular (cf. Alcina, ‘Fray Olmedo…’, 33–4. 36).

113 A bull of 26 May 1428 confirmed the rule despite the decree of the Fourth Lateran Council against new orders (Alcina, ‘Fray Olmedo’, 40 and cf. Sigüenza, Historia, i. 325).

114 That is to say the Spanish houses were reunited at the request of Philip II. The Italian ones remained independent until those of Lombardy were dissolved by Joseph ii and the remainder were closed down by Gregory xvi. (Cf. Garcí Oro, Historia de la Iglesia, iii, pt. 1. 252–3).
