A tradição manuscrita da Crônica de D. Duardos I

Abstract

Francisco de Morais ́ Palmeirim de Inglaterra is the most famous Portuguese romance of  chivalry. Beyond the known edited sequence of  this work, there is another one that remains unpublished: it is the book we call Crônica de D. Duardos, probably written in the late sixteenth century, which has been preserved only in manuscript copies. The purpose of this paper is to examine the manuscript tradition of  the first part od this Crônica in order to prepare the edition of  the text.
