CRÓNICA Geral de Espanha de 1344. Lisboa. 1951. - CRÓNICA Geral de Espanha de 1344 . Edição crítica do texto português por Luís Filipe Lindley Cintra. Lisboa: Academia Portuguesa de História & Imprensa Nacional Casa da Moeda, 1951. 4 v.; 250 mm. The General Chronicle of Spain of 1344 , compiled by Pedro Afonso, Count of Barcelos, natural son of King Dinis, is considered the most important of the Portuguese historiographical chronicles prior to the 15th century and a landmark of medieval prose in the Portuguese language, narrating everything from the legendary origins of the Iberian Peninsula to the history of the first seven kings of Portugal and the Battle of Salado (1340). This critical edition of the Portuguese text, authored by Luís Filipe Lindley Cintra, originally resulted from his doctoral thesis in Romance Philology (University of Lisbon, 1953), developed under the supervision of Ramón Menéndez Pidal, and is unanimously recognized as one of the most important works of the 20th century for the literary history of the Portuguese Middle Ages, remaining unsurpassed to this day. It was published in four volumes over almost four decades by the Portuguese Academy of History, in collaboration with the Imprensa Nacional-Casa da Moeda: volume I (Introduction), in 1951; volume II (Text), in 1954; volume III (Text), in 1961; and volume IV, only in 1990. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
