Abstract
This paper deals with some linguistic problems raised by the Old Spanish Libro de Alexandre. Since the discovery of the manuscript P in 1888, scholars have raised questions about the original dialect it was written in. After summarizing the achievements of previous research and considering some hotly debated linguistic issues concerning the two manuscripts, O and P, I shall try to discover the methodology that could be applied to solving the linguistic enigma of the Libro de Alexandre’s original dialect. Finally, I shall take a closer look at the syntax of perfects in the Libro de Alexandre, a phenomenon which has been scarcely touched upon before. This topic points to some possible relationships between the language of Eastern Iberia and the language of the Libro de Alexandre.
