Resumen: El célebre comentario de Orderic Vital sobre cómo los cistercienses construían las abadías con sus propias manos, junto a la existencia de algunas evidencias iconográficas que muestran a eclesiásticos participando enla construcción, ha dado lugar a una leyenda que sigue viva en la actualidad: la creencia que la arquitectura cisterciense fue obra casi exclusiva de los arquitectos y artesanos monásticos. El presente trabajo tiene como objeto dar respuesta a ciertos interrogantes que todavía giran alrededor de este debate historiográfico. Para ello, se propone un análisis de las fuentes primigenias de la Orden, así como de diversos casos-estudio de maestros de obra conversosy laicos documentados en los reinos hispanos.Abstract: The famous comment of Ordericus Vitalis about how the Cistercian monks built monasteries with their own hands, together with some iconographicexamples involving builder monks, have given rise to a legend that is still alive: the conviction that Cistercian architecture was produced almost entirely by monastic architects and craftsmen. The present paper aims to answer to some questions of this discussion. For that purpose, the primary sources or the Order and different case studies of lay builders and conversi in the Hispanic kingdoms has been analyzed.

Ordericus Vitalis

The middle of the twelfth century marked an upsurge in historical awareness and a revitalization of the practice of historiography.1 Exemplifying this trend were three men who flourished and died within twenty years of each other. Hugh of St. Victor projected a manysided view of history. Otto of Freising and Ordericus Vitalis were universalizing historians.2 None was an academic professional after the fashion of our modern guild. Each followed a monastic vocation. All protested any evisceration of time and history, every attempt to evacuate humanity therefrom. They extended the Augustinian emphasis on the key role of the Divine in the Hebrew-Christian tradition.
