Description

This document reflects a donation made by the bishop of Barcelona, ​​Guillem; in the monastery of Sant Cugat, one of the most influential monastic centers in the county of Barcelona. Dated to the twelfth century, it shows the collaboration between the episcopal power and the religious institutions in the consolidation of the territory. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to document power relations and patrimonial management within the Catalan Church, at a time of institutional and spiritual growth.
