Abstract

The article offers detailed information about the ms. 389 of the Casanatense Library, which brings together three texts by Alfonso de Cartagena: Qüestión sobre el fecho de la cavallería, Doctrinal de los cavalleros and Proposición contra los ingleses. The interest of this xvth century manuscript lies in the fact that it is not included in the bibliographic repertoires (although it does in the catalogues of the Casanatense), it has not been used by the respective editors of the texts and apart from the very compact corpus of translations of Seneca and Cicero it is one of the few unitaries that exclusively conserve works of our author. The ms. 389 also presents the particularity of the signature «Antonius de Ferrera», which from a calligraphic comparison could be identified with the «Anton de Ferrera» who subscribes in 1452 the Cancionero del Duque de Gor.
