Carla Setién García
A tenth-century manuscript, composed in the Kingdom of Pamplona’s courtly circle, transmits a letter by emperor Honorius to troops stationed city Pamplona. The brief introduction that precedes features information crucial understanding and interpretation rest text. This article seeks reevaluate existing scholarship on its content, firstly, analysing function whole text within manuscript’s conception tradition and, secondly, looking at other Late Antique Early Medieval sources, try recontextualise prefatory My main argument is an anonymous author from Pamplona wrote it, or compilers code modified it suit their own interests.
