Tres textos hagiográficos medievales sobre la ciudad de Zaragoza y sus santos Valerio, Vicente y Braulio. Edición y estudio

Abstract

This paper offers the editio princeps of two Latin hagiographical works of mediaeval Spain: the Legenda Cesaraugustana (BHL 4774) and the tale Quando fuit liberata Cesaraugusta a Sarracenis (Díaz 1079) as well as a new edition of the De reuelacione b. Braulii ep. Cesaraugustani (BHL 1448m). All these works came from Zaragoza and were written in honour of the bishops of the city and of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar. The Legenda Cesaraugustana and the De reuelacione b. Braulii ep. Cesaraugustani are of the 13th cent. The first one recounts the history of the bishops of Zaragoza from the third century until the reconquest of the city in 1118, and the second describes the invention of the relics of St. Braulio at the time of Bishop Pedro de Librana (1118-1128). Quando fuit liberata Cesaraugusta a Sarracenis is a work of the 15th cent. about the reconquest of Zaragoza and its most important source is the Legenda Cesaraugustana.
