Abstract

The thesis Feminine monastic life in medieval Catalonia: Santa Maria de Valldaura (1241-1399) has two well differentiated parts. One is a monographic study of the monastery, preceded by the description of the spiritual context of the time, and a second part is made up of the reconstruction of the Diplomatic Collection of the Santa Maria de Valldaura monastery. The objectives of this work are basically: to look at, observe the spiritual and religious context of western european society, especially that of women from the eleventh to the fourteenth centuries. A second objective is the monographic analysis of the female Cistercian monastery of Santa Maria de Valldaura, from its founding in 1241 until 1399, when it was moved to the town of Manresa. A third objective has been to introduce and analyse the closed orders in the medieval womens monasteries and to see the degree of freedom, especially the feminine Cistercian order and concretely Santa Maria de Valldaura.
