Mester de Clerecía
Mester de Clerecía is a Spanish literature genre that can be understood as an opposition and surpassing of Mester de Juglaría. It was cultivated in the 13th century by Spanish clergymen.
Unlike Mester de Juglaría, Mester de Clerecía was written on paper, not anonymous, with regular metre and done by educated authors. Also the topics are more serious: religious, historical and novelesque.
The most famous authors of this period are Gonzalo de Berceo and Arcipreste de Hita.
