Abstract

This article examines the evolution of various forms of domain management by an important Castilian Premonstratensian monastery, Santa María de la Vid, during the late Middle Ages. During the fifteenth century an important economic shift takes place as the monastery relinquishes direct management of its domains and leases the land through emphyteutic tenure either to individuals, or to the town councils located near their land. The reasons for this change will be examined. Morevoer, the development of this phenomenon will be compared to that of other Peninsular monasteries and convents. Finally, the motives given by specialists for the shift in economic organization of these monasteries will be assessed.
