Abstract

This work examines manuscripts, linked to the topoi of the discovered manuscript and the pretense of translation, in the fictional worlds of romances of chivalry. Specifically, it studies the characterization and history of such manuscripts in different works of the genre. The article analyses the traits used to describe the material aspect of manuscripts in fiction. Furthermore, it takes into account the history of the manuscripts, that is, its creation, transmission, and reception, beyond their physical characteristics. All of these aspects portray a direct link with the central textual practices and concerns of Humanisms, as well as the material reality of its works.
