Abstract

The objective of this article is to study what place Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo’s Compendiosa historia Hispanica (1470) occupies in its age context, and to stress the influence that his master Alfonso de Cartagena exerted on him. To do this, it will be first described the relationship that linked them; then, the influence that Classical rhetoric had on their historiographical endeavour and what was the intellectual positioning the Compendiosa took with regard to Italian humanism and, finally, its links to Hispanic historiographical tradition, granted that its most impor- tant source was Alfonso de Cartagena’s Anacephaleosis.
