unusual facts about ''Historia Roderici'', ms. 9/4922, Real Academia de la Historia



Chronica latina regum Castellae

The Chronica is preserved in only one late fifteenth-century manuscript, MS G-1 or 9/450, in the library of the Real Academia de la Historia in Madrid.

Historia Roderici

It was found in the late eighteenth century in San Isidoro in León, but was probably originally copied in Castile or La Rioja.

Real Academia de la Historia

In 2011 the Academy published the first 20 volumes of a dictionary of national biography, the Diccionario Biográfico Español, to which some five thousand historians contributed.

The publicly funded publication has been subject of controversy for failing to achieve the standards of objectivity associated with, for example, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
