The Ordenanzas generales de Ávila of 1487. The Original Codex. Recovered Contents for an Edition of the Complete Text
Abstract
We present a codex of the late fifteenth Century that partially contains the text of the Ordenanzas generales de Ávila approved in 1487. It is a manuscript that, despite not having been completely preserved, offers several attractions: the main one of them is a series of completely unknown dispositions, which will allow to fully recover these Ordenanzas. We present here a description of the manuscript and its textual content. Next, we outline a comparative analysis of the different testimonies and finally we draw the guidelines for an edition of the full text.
