Abstract

In the writing of history, several times the same past was remembered in different contexts, so that several manuscripts that contain the same text constitute the manuscript tradition of a document, which may present textual, palaeographical and codicological differences and, mainly, different reasons for its composition. In this sense, this article aims to analyze the different contexts of composition of the manuscripts of the Book of Deeds of James I of Aragon (1208-1276) produced during the reign of Peter III of Aragon (1336-1387), also known as Peter the Ceremonious: the first manuscript was produced in the year 1343 (ms. 1 of the Library of the Universitat de Barcelona) and the second in 1380 (ms. 1734 of the Library of Catalunya). Our intention is to reconstruct the contexts of compositions of these manuscripts in order to understand how the elaboration and recordation of the past by Peter III influenced the territorial formation of the Crown of Aragon.
