El Jardín de las Nobles Doncellas: una obra fundamental en la literatura didáctica principesca del siglo XV

Abstract

The Garden of the Noble Maidens, mirror of princes written by the Augustinian Martin of Cordoba to Isabella the Catholic -still princess- is a very significant text for the opportunity in which it is written and for the contents of its political ethics. Compared to other writings of authors so important as Diego de Valera and Gómez Manrique, their pedagogical solidity and their trust in the political conditions of the Isabel are more clearly appreciated, discovering the great transcendence of his contribution in the formation of Isabel, with consequences in the management of the court and her reign and therefore in the history of Spain.
