Resum
Against the background provided by the Vita Didaci -a 13th-century poem on Diego Martínez, the founder of the monastery of St. Maria de Benevivere (Carrión de los Condes)-, the author shows, on the one hand, the usefulness of philological study for a better understanding of hagiographical texts, and, on the other, how a specific medieval work fits into the generalizing label of hagiography. As regards the latter issue, all the aspects considered by the scholars as typically hagiographical have been examined in the Vita. It has been observed that not all of them appear, while some have very peculiar and distinct features.
