"Mester de Clerec\u00EDa (\"Ministry of Clergy\") is a Castilian literature genre that can be understood as an opposition and surpassing of Mester de Juglar\u00EDa. It was cultivated in the 13th century by Spanish learned poets, usually clerics (hence the name 'clerec\u00EDa'). .Unlike Mester de Juglar\u00EDa, Mester de Clerec\u00EDa was written on paper, not anonymous, with regular metre (the cuaderna v\u00EDa) and done by educated authors. Also the topics are more serious: religious, historical and novelesque."@en .
