BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

The Saint Hilary of Carcassonne relic’s translation was explained in a text written in the year 978.  This narration, from which I have recently published a new edition, mentions a master builder that played a key role in the relic’s discovery. The master was brought by Garin, the abbot of the Saint-Miquel-de-Cuixa monastery, and he was supposed to be the architect who built the second church of Saint-Miquel-de-Cuixa. The count Sunifred and the abbot Ponce had initiated this rebuilding in the year 956 and on 28th September 975 Garin finished it. After the research on the manuscript copy and the various editions from the second half of the 17th century, some of them edited directly from the currently lost original one, it is concluded that the name of the architect was Ledo (Letus). Knowing the name of an architect who lived before the 11th century is, undoubtedly, a unique event, even more when this architect is considered as a virtuous man., The Saint Hilary of Carcassonne relic’s translation was explained in a text written in the year 978.  This narration, from which I have recently published a new edition, mentions a master builder that played a key role in the relic’s discovery.

Se trata seguramente del arquitecto de la reconstrucción de la segunda iglesia de Cuixá, la de San Miguel, iniciada en el año 956 por el conde Seniofredo y el abad Ponce, que Garín culminó y cuya consagración, presidida por siete obispos, se celebró el 28 de septiembre del 975. Tras el estudio de la copia manuscrita y de las diversas ediciones que del original actualmente perdido se hicieron a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XVII, concluimos que dicho arquitecto (structor miri laboris) se llamaba Ledo (Letus). El hecho de conocer el nombre de un arquitecto anterior al siglo XI es, sin duda, algo insólito y lo es aún más cuando este artifex ha sido considerado, a menudo, excepcional., The Saint Hilary of Carcassonne relic’s translation was explained in a text written in the year 978.  This narration, from which I have recently published a new edition, mentions a master builder that played a key role in the relic’s discovery.
