Los mundos de Carlos V. Humanismo, educación y transmisión del conocimiento en Europa y América collects the texts of the conferences delivered during the summer course, framed within the Campus Yuste, which was held at the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste from 6 to 8 July 2022, under the same title. The directors of the course were Rosa María Martínez de Codes, professor of American History at the Complutense University of Madrid, and César Chaparro Gómez, professor of Latin Philology at the University of Extremadura.

In the 16^th century, the humanist movement of the Renaissance left a huge mark on the arts and sciences. The cultural renewal it fostered revolved around the recovery of elements from classical antiquity in all areas of culture: literature, art, thought, attitudes, and behaviours. The objectives of this course aimed to delve into aspects related to education and humanist thought. In particular, the education of the Christian prince and its contextualisation in the general framework of pedagogical humanism; the configuration and development of university education (in Europe and America); and the transmission of technical and scientific knowledge. Some important figures of Christian humanism, their artistic and scientific manifestations, and their relationship with America were also analysed.

The programme unfolded in three interconnected scenarios where pedagogical and artistic humanism shone brightly. Charles V was educated in a Flemish humanist environment that greatly influenced his Christian education and projected itself over the years in the governance of his Empire. At the height of European humanism, the discovery and conquest of America took place, a fundamental historical juncture for the cultural history of America and the educational models that were implemented there. These models originated in Spain and responded to a humanistic renewal of teaching methods that developed in the 16^th century.
