La versión latina de Pere Marsili frente a los manuscritos del Llibre dels fets: propuesta de stemma codicum y reconstrucción del arquetipo

Abstract

The Liber gestorum of Pere Marsili is essential for tracing the stemma codicum of the Catalan text Llibre dels fets, and for establishing the archetype of the Catalan text, as it shows variants of the original Catalan text. A stemma codicum of all versions of Llibre dels fets is proposed here for the first time, including all Catalan manuscripts and the Latin and Aragonese versions. The Latin text makes clear that the successive divisions in the stemma of the Catalan manuscript tradition are caused by simple scribal errors and not by different versions. Among the textual modifications are some dialectal variants, which can be explained by different types of copy.
