Resumen
En 1720 Felipe V decidió levantar un palacio y sus correspondientes jardines en San lldefonso, en la provincia de Segovia. En 1723 y 1735 se adquirieron terrenos colindantes para ensanchar el parque y regularizar su perímetro. El arquitecto creador de los jardines fue René Carlier (fallecido en 1722). Desde el principio Carlier contó con el apoyo del jardinero, también francés, Boutelou, quien había trabajado ya en los jardines de Aranjuez y será el antepasado de una saga de jardineros de los reyes de España, que duró cinco generaciones. Muy poco se ha sabido hasta ahora del primero de los Boutelou en España. El reciente hallazgo de su testamento que recoge el listado de los libros de su biblioteca, arroja nueva luz sobre la formación y la personalidad de uno de los introductores de las ideas de la jardinería francesa en España.
In 1720 Felipe V decided to build a palace with gardens in San lldefonso in the province of Segovia. Between 1723 and 1735, additional adjacent lands were acquired to broaden and regularize the park perimeter. The creator of the gardens was the architect René Carlier (deceased in 1722). From the beginning Carlier was supported by a gardener, also French, Boutelou, who had worked in Aranjuez and became the founder of a dynasty of gardeners of the kings of Spain which lasted five generations. Very little has been known until now about the first of the Boutelou in Spain. The recent discovery of his will, which includes an inventory of his library, sheds new light on the formation and personality of one of the introducers of French ideas on gardening in Spain.
