The education of the trade: trade learning in Palencia in the 17th century
Abstract
This article will analyze the socio-labor situation of apprentices from Palencia throughout the modern period, with special emphasis on the decade of 1650-1660. For this we have used the numerous apprenticeship contracts inserted in the notarial protocols that will allow us to know what trades they performed, at what age they joined the guilds and even the conditions in which their life would develop in the teacher's home. A master who taught them, fed them, dressed them, and controlled their entire lives, because as long as the apprenticeship contract remained in force, the boy was another member of the family's master.
