Bautista (2016: 22) suggests that the Toletanus and the codex from Burgo de Osma may be the same. 35 Villanueva (1804: 198, 199-200; 216-17); Cardelle de Hartmann (2001: 22*-23*); Bautista (2016: 23-26). 36 Ewald (1881: 323-27); Mommsen (1894: 167-72); Cardelle de Hartmann (2001: 27*-38*, 85*-89*). 37 Furtado (in press). 38 Pontac (1604: 27). 39 Mommsen (1894: 486-87); Pontac (1604: col. 786). I am now preparing a paper about this version of Prosper’s Chronica, in which I develop these conclusions.

Madrid, Fondo Fotográfico, photographs 191 and 192 (= fols. 117v and 118r). 41 Prosp. Chron. 1351-1354 (ed. Mommsen); Mommsen (1892: 487, ‘Continuatio Alcobaciensis’). About Prosper’s editions, see Mommsen (1892: 345-47), and also Muhlberger (1986); Humphries (1996). 42 Is. uir. 25. 43 Cardelle de Hartmann (2001: 101*-02*; 108*). 44 I do not think that Isidore misinterpreted Eusebius/Jerome’s and Prosper’s Chronicles as a kind of first part of Victor’s Chronica as posited by Mommsen (1894: 179-80); Reydellet (1970: 368-69); Cardelle de Hartmann (2001: 102*-06*). In fact, Isidore knew them very well and made extensive use of both Eusebius/Jerome’s and Prosper’s Chronica. Moreover, in the Complutense 134, Alcobaciensis or Toletanus manuscripts, the Chronica of Eusebius/Jerome does not start a principio mundi as Victor’s did, according to Isidore.

Estévez Sola (1995: li-lii) argues that MS Madrid, BN 2805 is not directly derived from Madrid, BN 1358, but that these two manuscripts come from a codex of Compostela, which is in turn a copy of a manuscript of San Juan Bautista de Coria. 77 Madrid, BN 1358, fols. 9vb-10ra; Madrid, BN 2805, fols. 11r-11v, and 28ra-29rb 78 Madrid, BN 1358, fols. 8vb-9rb; Madrid, BN 2805, fols. 10r-10v, and 36r-37v. 79 Madrid, BN 1358, fols. 9rb-9va; Madrid, BN 2805, fols. 10v-11r. 80 Madrid, BN 1358, fols. 25ra-25va; Madrid, BN 2805, fols. 32r-32v. 81 Escorial d.I.2, fol. 240va. 82 Díaz y Díaz (1976a: 218-21). 83 Díaz y Díaz (1976a: 218-21). 84 Furtado (2016b).
