| Abstract | |
In the kingdoms of Castile and Portugal, over the 14th and 15th centuries, ecclesiastical and secular authorities sought to order eating and dressing through laws and rules. Convinced that the sharing of bread and cloth established bonds between men, reaffirmed hierarchies and perpetuated Christian values through what was eaten and dressed, they proposed that the satisfaction of both needs would be gotten upon fruitful practices aimed at the ordering of society on the earth plane and for salvation in the other world. With emphasis on this set of laws and rules, disseminated by several writings and containing teachings considered essential for each person and for the community as a whole, the objective of this thesis is to analyze, in the two parts that compose it, the relations established between the order of the world and ways of eating and dressing. Habits and customs destined to the preservation of the body, the differentiation of people by what they ate will be collated, as well as the circumstances in which food and ways of eating and being at table deserved special attention will be analyzed. Likewise, without losing sight of the importance of the external or visible to translate the foundations of existence, attention will focus on the ways of dressing and the attribute of the garments to translate order through its fabrics, colors and shapes.
