O ‘liuro da troya’ no Livro da Virtuosa Benfeitoria do Infante D. Pedro: uma recepção indirecta da General Estoria de Afonso X?

The impact that Alfonso X’s General Estoria had at the court of Avis is made evident in João I’s Livro da Montaria, through quotations in Gomes Eanes de Zurara’s Crónica dos feitos da Guiné, and the identification of a “Estoria Geral” in the inventory of King Duarte’s library. A new reading of the Infante D. Pedro’s Livro da Virtuosa Benfeitoria provides an interesting metaliterary reference offering what appears to be another indirect influence of Alfonso X’s universal chronicle. This study analyses an allusion in that work to a “liuro da troya”, leading to considerations about narrative modes in the lnfante D. Pedro’s treatise.
