Abstract


The wills preserved in the Archivos de Protocolos Notariales de Navarra (AGN and AMT) from before 1512 allow a scientific approach to one of the more important questions of medieval life: death. The analysis of these documents reveals some aspects of the mental and spiritual universe of medieval men and women. Attitudes, gestures, religious and devotional practices are built on a common idea: that death is the beginning of a new life. In this sense, the person who knows of his status as a creature of God articulates the arrangements necessary for obtaining eternal salvation.
