PRIMERA CRÓNICA General de España. Madrid. 1955. - PRIMERA CRÓNICA General de España . Que mandó componer Alfonso el Sabio y se continuaba bajo Sancho IV en 1289. Publicada por Ramón Menéndez Pidal con la colaboración de Antonio G. Solalinde, Manuel Muñoz Cortés y José Gómez Pérez. Seminario Menéndez Pidal. Madrid: Editorial Gredos, 1955. 2 v.; 275 mm. The Primera Crónica General de España , commissioned by Alfonso X, the Wise, and continued under Sancho IV in 1289, is the most important historiographical monument in medieval Castilian, narrating the history of the Iberian Peninsula from Roman antiquity to the Gothic and Arab kingdoms, based on a vast literary and, probably, also oral tradition, more than on direct documentary evidence. First published by Ramón Menéndez Pidal in 1906, without the critical study that the editor himself had promised, the present edition, published by Gredos in 1955 under the auspices of the newly created Seminario Menéndez Pidal (1954), offers a reprint of the chronicle endowed with the critical apparatus lacking in the previous edition, with the collaboration of Antonio G. Solalinde, Manuel Muñoz Cortés and José Gómez Pérez, remaining to this day the reference edition for the study of the Alfonsine chronicle. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
