ABSTRACT

The writing of history, in medieval Latin, in the territory today known as Portugal, has been poorly studied. For the period before 1200, critical editions, comprehensive studies, even a list of known texts are lacking. Further, there has been no attempt to understand the Latin historiography of Portugal in its proper Iberian context. This paper seeks to address these issues. Focusing on the lands that would, during the twelfth century, evolve from the county of Portucale into the kingdom of Portugal up to the beginning of the thirteenth century, the paper establishes the historiographic sub-genres employed in the period; identifies the texts that were held in north-western Iberian libraries as possible sources or models for new texts; and presents an annotated catalogue of all known historiographical texts produced in the region.

摘要

在今天被称为葡萄牙的领土上，中世纪拉丁语中的历史写作研究得很少。在1200年之前的时期中，缺乏关键的版本，全面的研究，甚至缺少一系列已知的文献。此外，没有尝试在适当的伊比利亚语境下理解葡萄牙的拉丁史学。本文旨在解决这些问题。着眼于十二世纪期间从Portucale县演变成葡萄牙王国的土地，直至十三世纪初，本文建立了该时期所使用的史学子类别。确定在西北伊比利亚图书馆中保存的文本，作为新文本的可能来源或模型；并提供该地区所有已知史书的注释目录。
