I: Historia Silense
-
Simon Barton
Abstract
The chapter provides an annotated translation of Historia Silense (HS) the misleadingly named composite historical miscellany whose main claim upon the attention of historians has been that it includes the principal narrative account of the Leonese monarchy between 1037 and 1072. The author suggests that there is a strong probability that the work was composed by a member of the religious community of San Isidoro in the city of León, at a date certainly after 1109 and probably before 1118.
