It includes a critical edition of an important part of a medieval chronicle on which the study is based. The grammar consists of three parts: (1) phonology, reconstructed from graphemic references, (2) description and classification of morphosyntactic structures, and (3) analysis of stylistic devices. In addition, it contains a chronological identification of the language and its interrelation with languages of the Mediterranean area and other Hispano-Romance dialects. A glossary shows the origin, medieval usage and Modern Spanish equivalent of the words of the text with references to their use in other Old Spanish literary works and to their counterparts in the Old French version of the chronicle. An exhaustive bibliography concludes the book.
