Un manuscrit du Libro Verde de Aragón : le Ms 18305 de la Biblioteca Nacional de España
Abstract
The Libro Verde de Aragón, a manuscript work dating from the sixteenth century, is a collection of the genealogies of some important Aragonese families all starting by, at least, a Jewish ancestor converted at the beginning of the fifteenth century. The declared purpose of this work is the revelation in broad daylight of these converts’ descendants in order to save old Christians from getting married with them, inadvertenly, and, so doing, mixing their pure blood with a blood which was much less. Several examples have reached us. All of them are the evolutions of a common nucleus which traces the descents back to about 1550, but they show some prolongations more or less long and sometimes different. The Ms 18305 of the Biblioteca Nacional de España that we are transcribing here constitutes an important stage in the successive copies chain.
