Abstract

We know almost everything about the spanish translation of Giovanni Boccaccio’s De casibus virorum illustrium, from XV century, and their containg codex. But, there are not studies about the vulgata text, stablished by the Sevilla’s edition (1459), later copied in Toledo (1511) and Alcalá de Henares (1552). The variants and orders of the chapters could be result of the curator’s manipulation or by the existence of a second archetype.
