espanolLo que se propone en este articulo no es una evidencia indiscutible sino solamente una hipotesis razonable que, en caso de resultar cierta, ayudaria a entender mejor la vida y obra del Mancebo de Arevalo. Partiendo de una descripcion de la realidad social arevalense en la primera mitad del siglo XVI y de los avatares de su comunidad morisca en ese periodo –que coincide con el momento en que tuvo lugar la vida y obra del Mancebo de Arevalo– se analiza la informacion contenida en un pleito que un funcionario real promueve contra la pretension de un morisco de apropiarse de los bienes dejados por un hermano suyo que hacia 1542 habia huido a Berberia para “tornarse moro”. En ese pleito el funcionario real dice, para reforzar su argumentacion de que era una familia muy islamizada, que un hermano menor de estos moriscos –llamado Gutierre– fue sorprendido hacia 1543 leyendo y explicando el Alcoran a algunos moriscos de Arevalo y otras villas cercanas, por lo que fue apresado y encerrado en un convento donde murio. A partir de esta informacion proponemos la hipotesis de que este joven pudo ser el Mancebo de Arevalo. Sabemos quienes eran los padres, abuelos y otros familiares de este Gutierre y a que se dedicaban todos ellos mas otras peculiaridades sociologicas de sumo interes: todos disfrutan de una situacion economica desahogada; entre ellos predominaban los mercaderes que se movian por gran parte del reino y varios de ellos desempenaron cierto protagonismo social tanto en el interior de la comunidad morisca como en las instituciones de Arevalo. Tambien se datan y reconstruyen los periodos fundamentales de la vida de este personaje: educacion en el Palacio Real de la villa y en el convento de los franciscanos; hacia los 18 o 19 anos acompana a su padre o a alguno de sus tios en sus viajes como mercaderes y clandestinamente recoge informacion y ensenanzas de otros moriscos; unos tres anos despues se retira a Aragon donde escribe sus tres libros hacia 1533 o 1535; despues peregrinaria a La Meca regresando a Arevalo en 1543, donde murio a manos de la Inquisicion. EnglishThe aim of this article is to present not something unquestionably obvious but only a reasonable hypothesis, which, if it is proven to be true, would enhance the understanding of the life and work of the Young Man of Arevalo. Starting with a description of the social life of Arevalo in the first half of the XVI century and the different manifestations of the Moorish community during the same period, which coincides with the life and work of the Young Man of Arevalo, I analyse the information contained in a law-suit filed by a royal civil servant to prevent a Moorish man from taking possession of the goods that his brother had left behind when he fled to Berber land around 1542 to “become a moor”. To strengthen his argument during the law-suit, the royal civil servant said that the Moor concerned was from a very Islamised family, and stated that around 1543 a younger brother of these Moors, called, Gutierre, had been caught reading and explaining the Coran to a Moorish group from Arevalo and other nearby villages, an act for which he was arrested and imprisoned in a convent where he died. Building on this information, my hypothesis is that this young man could have been the Young Man of Arevalo. We know who the parents, grandparents and other relatives of this Gutierre were and what they did as well as other specific sociological details of great interest: they were all well off, most of them being merchants that moved around the kingdom and some of them enjoying a certain social prominence in both the Moorish community and the local institutions in Arevalo. We can also date and reconstruct the main periods of the life of this character: his education at the Royal Palace of the town and the Franciscan monastery; then, when he was around 18 or 19 year old, he accompanies his father or one of his uncles on their journeys as merchants and he secretly gathers information and teachings from other Moors; about three years later he withdraws to Aragon where he writes his 3 books around 1533 or 1535; after that, he would go to Mecca on a pilgrimage returning to Arevalo in 1543 where he dies at the hands of the Inquisition.
