Certainties and Hypothesis about the ending of the Hernando de Baeza’s "Grenadian Chronicle"

Abstract

In this work I get to know the discover of the Hernando de Baeza’s Historia de los reyes moros de Granada ending, through two miscellaneous codex that contain both manuscripts finished and unpublished. I do a codicological and paleographical description of both of them, showing their similarities and differences through the formal and the contents analysis. I recover the documentary tradition through the Lorenzo Galíndez de Carvajal’s Memorial de los Reyes Católicos copies inside these both codex. I add a third manuscript of the Baeza’s chronicle, unpublished till nowadays, mutilated, without the beginning, but with the ending. I compare, after that, each of the new Baeza’s chronicle models with the version known and published, and finally, I make a compared edition of the ending, using the three manuscripts unpublished. All this work permits me, on one hand, to conclude that there is an interesting documentary tradition in the trasmision of these texts and, on the other one, to put into context the theories about the end of the Baeza’s chornicle based on its supposed presence into some following chronicles.
