Autenticidad de la donación de Fernán González a San Sebastián de Silos (954)

Abstract

RESUMEN: Algunos estudiosos consideran falsos muchos de los documentos del conde Fernan Gonzalez, entre ellos la carta dirigida al monasterio de San Sebastian de Silos, cuyo original no se ha conservado. En este articulo pretendemos demostrar la autenticidad de esta donacion, sobre todo comparando sus formulas con las Formulae Visigothicae y las de otros documentos de la epoca que parecen seguir un formulario comun, utilizado en los siglos X y XI en todo el reino de Leon. ABSTRACT: Many documents associated with Count Fernan Gonzalez are considered to be falsifications by a number of scholars, including the count’s donation to the monastery of San Sebastian de Silos, whose original has not come down to us. The present article sets out the authenticity of the document, above all by comparing its formulas with the Formulae Visigothicae and those of other, contemporary documents which indicate they were composed using the same formulary, adopted during the tenth and eleventh centuries over the whole of the kingdom of Leon.
