Estudio material de una traducción de la Historia Gothica de Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada (ms. A 331/143 de la BUS).

ABSTRACT: The lack of a systematic classification of the old manuscripts preserved in Spanish libraries has made it exceedingly difficult to come to definite conclusions about which tendencies were predominant in the elaboration of Latincodices throughout the centuries. Nevertheless, in the past few years several studies addressing this issue have been published. This paper hopes to contribute  to that line of research by presenting a Codicological and Paleographical study of manuscript A 331/143 of the Library of the University of Seville containing a Romance version of the Spanish Chronicle Historia de rebus Hispaniae, also known as Historia Gothica, written by the Archbishop of Toledo Rodrigo Jimenez de Rada (1170-1247), which, on the other hand, has been systematically overlooked by those who have concerned themselves with the study of the Textual Tradition of the said chronicle.
