La capacidad de escribir bien en latín era un requisito fundamental para todo aquel que quisiera ocupar un puesto relevante en la jerarquía diplomática del siglo XVI. La familia Granvela, que contaba con dos de los ministros más eminentes de los reinados de Carlos I y Felipe II, reconocía la importancia del aprendizaje del latín. La educación de sus miembros más jóvenes fue un aspecto relevante de la construcción de su legado y era controlada con suma atención por el patriarca. Los intercambios epistolares de la familia ofrecen así una doble función: la redacción de cartas latinas se convierte en un instrumento de enseñanza adicional en un contexto informal, externo al sistema educativo; además, la correspondencia personal se presenta como una rica fuente de información para el historiador en la cual abundan las descripciones de los pormenores de la vida estudiantil del siglo XVI.
The ability to write well in Latin was a fundamental requirement for anyone who wanted to occupy a relevant position in the diplomatic hierarchy of the 16th century. The Granvelle family, which produced two of the most eminent ministers in the reigns of Charles I and Philip II, recognized the importance of learning Latin. The education of its youngest members was a relevant aspect in the creation of its legacy and was closely monitored by the patriarch. The family’s epistolary exchanges thus offer a double function for the historian: the writing of Latin letters presents itself as an additional teaching instrument in an informal context, outside the educational system, and their personal correspondence becomes a rich source of information, for the details of student life in the 16th century abound.
