Revisiones de autor y de copistas en las obras de Isidoro de Sevilla. A propósito de la Historia Gothorum

This paper deals with some aspects related to the works of Isidore of Seville that were revised by the author, as well as to other Isidorian works that were altered by copyists, introducing spurious interpolations and other modifications. This kind of study mainly focuses on the textual tradition and the extant manuscripts, but it should also take into account internal inquiry of the texts themselves, the sources used by the author, the aims of the works and their late tradition. Within this perspective, we make some considerations concerning the double recension of the De origine Gothorum (or Historia Gothorum) and its manuscript tradition.
