f “A onomástica do personaxe na prosa galega medieval”

This article analyses the onomastics of characters in medieval Galician prose. For this purpose I have selected the most representative texts of the period and I have compared the Galician texts with their versions in Latin, Spanish and French in order to see how translators manage to adapt proper names in their translations. Thus, we can perceive in this study that the adaptation is easy with common Galician names, whereas difficulties increase with exotic or uncommon ones. I have extracted an extensive number of examples, out of all possible ones, to make clear either the skilfulness or the unskilfulness of the translators or copyists involved.
