Gonzalo de Berceo was born in the end of the 12th century in the Riojan village of Berceo, close to the major Benedictine monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla.
He is celebrated for his poems on religious subjects, written in a style of verse which has been called Mester de Clerecía, shared with more secular productions such as the Libro de Alexandre and the Libro de Apolonio, and later works, such as the fourteenth-century Libro de Buen Amor.
He also wrote the fragmentary Martirio de San Lorenzo (the Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence, the Roman martyr of the third century), which may be connected to a shrine of St Lawrence supposedly built by Aemilian himself, at the top of the mountain below which the monastery of San Millán is situated.

Nevertheless, this vision of "Berceo propagandist" has not to diminish the poetic value of his work nor to contrast with the religiosity of which the monasteries are bearers.
Pedro Cátedra, professor at Salamanca University, broke with the image of Gonzalo de Berceo engraved in the walls of his monastery and defined him as a fighter with a close ideology to the refoms proclaimed in the 4th council of Letrán, "A man of his time".
Berceo transferred common miracles from the european literarture of the era, without place or precise date, but this miracle of Codice 31 has a date and a concrete locality.

He was a secular priest associated with the monastery of San Millán de Cogolla in the Rioja, where he served as an administrator and notary.
Berceo's subjects were religious topics--the lives of the saints, the Mass, and the miracles of the saints and the Virgin.
He wrote in Castilian, a dialect which was then considered inferior to Galician-Portuguese, in order to bring religious learning to the common people.

Berceo no inventa, sólo pretende difundir en lengua romance los relatos ya existentes sobre la Virgen, los cuales él modifica con libertad.
Al final de cada relato aparece una moraleja o enseñanza para hacer comprender al oyente las ventajas que reporta ser un devoto de la Virgen.

 Gonzalo de Berceo y el mester de clerecía - RinconCastellano
De Berceo, primer poeta castellano de nombre conocido y el más genuino representante del mester de clerecía, se sabe bastante, aunque si se compara con otros poetas contemporáneos o aun posteriores puede parecer francamente poco.
Gonzalo de Berceo debió de morir bastante mayor; diversas escrituras notariales mencionan que vivía aun en 1264.
Pero a pesar de esto, poco más es lo que se conoce de su vida, que debió de transcurrir plácidamente entre gentes sencillas, entregada a sus deberes religiosos y a componer sus obras.

Gonzalo de Berceo was born in Berceo near Navarre in the wine-rich region of La Rioja, which figures prominently in his works.
He was raised and educated in the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, an important shrine in that region.
The subject of Gonzalo's poetry is religious and international (lives of the saints and miracles of the Virgin, many of them with known French sources), and traditionally his poems have been considered the lyrical outpourings of a simple soul.

El propósito de Berceo es dar sabor de cosa próxima y vivida a lo que cuenta, precisamente por la condición de la gente sencilla a que se dirige.
Se esfuerza por ser gráfico y familiar, para lo cual recurre a comparaciones de prácticas de los labriegos, a locuciones campesinas, a nombres de utensilios domésticos, a refranes.
Pero lejos de ser ingenuo, Berceo fue un experto en las técnicas y estructuras de la literatura didáctica y un propagandista experto que sentía profunda lealtad por el monasterio al que estaba vinculado, localizado estratégicamente en el camino francés a Santiago de Compostela, por donde pasaban múltiples peregrinos.

De nuestra extensa tradición literaria, alguno tenía que ser el primero, ¿no? O al menos el primero en pasar a la Historia con nombre y apellido.
De todas maneras, los juglares fueron fundamentales en la literatura, porque funcionaron como transmisores de la tradición oral.
Esta falta de creatividad puede que se debiera a que los códices (manuscritos antiguos) se traducían y se hacían versos de ellos, y, claro, había que serles fiel.

He became a priest and passed the whole of his life in or near the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla.
His compositions extend to more than 13,000 verses (Alexandrines), arranged in monorhymed quatrains (cuaderna via), and, at least in so far as the truly authentic are concerned, are religious and hagiographical in their nature.
If we are to believe the ascription contained in one of the two manuscripts of the old Spanish poem on Alexander the Great ("Libro de Alexandre") we must credit him with that secular work also; but scholars are not too prone to regard the ascription as correct.

Poco se sabe acerca de él y su vida, pero pasa por cierto que tuvo un hermano, maese Juan, que como él fue clérigo y nació en igual lugar.
Mas sabido es que pasó sus primeros años en el vetusto monasterio de San Millán de Suso, sin que se pueda precisar si allí se hallaba como puesto por sus padres para recìbir cristiana y ejemplar educación, según usanza de la época, o en calidad de monacillo destinado al servicio de la religión.
Lástima es que tanto acerca de tan eximio poeta como de tantos otros, se esté falto de datos precisos, pues los poquísimos que se tiene son deducidos de sus propias obras, en algunos de cuyos pasajes alude incidentalmente a sí mismo, como en éste :

Gonzalo de Berceo nació, con toda probabilidad, hacia finales del siglo XII, en el pueblo denominado Berceo, aledaño a la abadía de San Millán de la Cogolla.
Berceo es un poeta ingenuo, con alguna erudición y, aunque sencillo, de gran inspiración.
Se podría decir que su obra es un fresco de grandes proporciones, aunque con un toque rústico y un admirable candor, inconfundibles ambos.

By Berceo's times, the pilgrim route from France to the shrine of Saint James in Compostela was a well-traveled one indeed, and passed just ten miles north of the monastery of San Millán de Suso, at the foot of the Sierra de la Demanda mountains, where the poet was raised from boyhood.
Berceo's imagery of the here-and-now, though typical of his poetic opus in general, is especially significant in De los signos on several levels.
Perhaps Berceo chose to end his list of allusions to wealth and power with a potent reminder not only that such textile symbols will be reduced to nothing, but that they never amounted to much more than the humble rabbit in its hole in the first place.

 2003_Conference/Weiss_Abstract.htm
After a brief critique of that view on theoretical grounds (it is based on too narrow a concept of ideology), I argue that the Virgin Mary is not so much an ideological trope for an institution, as for a process of negotiation between different forms of authority and power.
Berceo's manipulation of the convention of Virgin as 'mediatrix', his adaptation of his sources, and his representation of the 'miraculous', combine to reconcile some of the contradictions that were produced in the course of the profound social, political, and cultural changes of early thirteenth-century Iberia.
The Virgin Mary was a fulcrum between the two poles of this 'harmonious discord', and as such she was appropriated by clerics eager to represent themselves as the indispensable mediators between a diverse, expanding society and the increasingly institutionalized centres of religious and secular authority.

Six young people took part in the Gonzalo de Berceo reading this year at the homage to San Millán held in the Salón de la Hispanidad of the Monasterio de Yuso, which was brought to a close by the president of the La Rioja Parliament, José Ignacio Ceniceros (r.).
The third edition of the "Homage to San Millán, the Cradle of Spanish" was also held at the Monasterio de Yuso on 23 April, an event which was attended by a broad cross-section of Riojan cultural and wine-growing institutions, as well as representatives from the world of culture.
Gonzalo de Berceo brought together language and wine in his verses and the aim of this homage is to symbolise this close relationship between these two most emblematic cultural references of La Rioja's historical heritage.

Berceo's works abound with imagery of blindness versus sight and darkness versus light, where light symbolizes the divine, sight enables Christians to connect with God, and blindness or lack of sight in darkness impedes Christian salvation.
Along with Christian imagery, Berceo's depiction of blindness incorporates the scientific principles of medieval vision theory and cognitive psychology in a synthesis typical of the learned mester de clerecía's literary school.
Berceo knew how light enabled sight and how sight lead to understanding in both the physical realm of cognition and the interior realm of the soul.

Gonzalo de Berceo -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
Gonzalo de Berceo was born in the end of the 12th century in the (Dry red table wine from the Rioja region of northern Spain) Riojan village of Berceo, close to the major Benedictine monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla.
This view has been propounded above all by Brian Dutton, editor of Gonzalo de Berceo's collected works, although some critics (notably Fernando Baños and Isabel Uría Maqua) have taken a view which presents the poet as less motivated by his concerns for the monastery; others (particularly Gregory Andrachuk) have linked him to the Lateran reforms.

Gonzalo de Berceo, el autor de la Vida de San Millán, Vida de Santo Domingo de Silos, Vida de Santa Oria, Loores de la Virgen, etc., aparece documentado como notario del abad de San Millán de la Cogolla a mediados del siglo XIII.
Sus libros han sido calificados de «cantares de gesta a lo divino», debido a la abundancia de elementos épicos que se mezclan en los textos.
Su obra cumbre, Los Milagros de Nuestra Señora, es un buen ejemplo del renacer del culto mariano en el siglo XIII, que ofrecería otras obras tan importantes como Las Cantigas a Nuestra Señora, de Alfonso X. Gonzalo de Berceo es el máximo representante de lo que se ha denominado el Mester de Clerecía.
