The Chronique latine des rois de Castille was first published in 1912-13 by Georges Cirot from a manuscript of the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century, which contained a number of mediaeval chronicles, copied in all probability for Lorenzo Galíndez de Carvajal. The manuscript later belonged to Luis de Salazar y Castro and was known to Juan Iriarte and Manuel Abella, but the Chronique was generally ignored before Cirot, whose articles provide the only discussion of its sources, authorship and literary history. In his description of the manuscript, Cirot explains that it affords no external evidence of authorship for the Chronique; no help is afforded by bibliographers such as Nicolás Antonio or José Rodríguez de Castro; and, although he notes certain personal references in the text of the Chronique, Cirot considers it impossible to draw from these any conclusions about the identity of the author. In the present article, on the other hand, it will be suggested that the internal evidence of the Chronique offers some grounds for identifying its author with a certain measure of probability.
