En la traducción española del Examen crítico de la historia de la geografía del Nuevo Continente de Humboldt, elaborada por Luis Navarro y Calvo, buena parte de los textos grecolatinos citados por Humboldt no fueron traducidos de sus lenguas originales, sino de versiones francesas del s. XIX, lo que provoca la incomprensión de varios pasajes.

El presente artículo examina algunos aspectos problemáticos de las citas o alusiones bíblicas contenidas en la Oratio pro correptione uitae, una de las obras del llamado «Corpus de Pseudo-Sisberto de Toledo», tres composiciones altomedievales de temática penitencial que, aunque tradicionalmente consideradas visigóticas, fueron compuestas con toda probabilidad en ambiente (pre)carolino, en el s. VIII, en la Galia o la Italia septentrional.

Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional de España, 10442 (T) transmits an anonymous collection of texts about Isidore of Seville together with Lucas of Tuy’s Chronicon mundi. The manuscript is a heterogeneous composite codex; the Isidorian codicological unit is probably older than the Chronicon. Every witness transmitting the same contents ultimately descends from T. Both units are independently related to Alfonso X: Bernardo of Brihuega’s Vitae (s. XIII) derive from the Isidorian unit, whereas the romance sections of the Chronicon included in the General Estoria depend on a lost gemellus of the second codicological unit. Even if the first unit could come from León, the composite codex was probably bound in the medieval library of Toledo.

This paper analyses a sermon copied in the manuscript Universidad de Valencia, 481. The alleged attribution to Augustine of Hippo is clearly wrong, though comprehensible according to its sources and transmission: as pointed out by Divjak, the text is a reworking of a sermon by Caesarius of Arles. However, to a certain extent the traditional attribution could be paradoxically false and authentic at the same time. Thanks to the discovery of a second witness, the codex Complutensis 66, it is possible to publish the first critical edition of the text.

This paper deals with the sources of the Oratio pro correptione uitae, an anonymous work traditionally dated in the Visigothic period and closely related to two poems. The main study on these works, due to Elfassi, can be complemented with the addition of new Isidorian sources, specifi cally Sententiae and Etymologiae, very relevant with regard to a new edition of the work, currently in preparation.
