For some large Castilian monasteries, the late medieval period entailed an important process of economic and social recession which contrasts with the expansion period experienced during the early medieval centuries. In the fifteenth century the situation is aggravated for monasteries in rural areas due to the consolidation and growth of the cities. In that situation, some abbots tried to revitalize their communities by improving their infrastructures and trying to awaken the interest of pilgrims and visitors. In the following paragraphs we will see the essential role that advertising writing and more specifically the epigraphic Renovationes played in this propagandistic task. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the last decade of the fifteenth century the image of Ferdinand the Catholic acquired a European dimension, defined by his relations with the Papacy, his projects of expansion in the Mediterranean, and the dispute with France over the Kingdom of Naples. The present study reconstructs the trajectory of this political icon, which is not always upward, making use of the opinions of chroniclers, the rhetorical production and the propaganda literature that was generated during these years which were marked by international tension and prophetic expectancy: a period of convulsion, and at the same time decisive in the symbolic establishment of the monarchy of the Catholic Kings.
