El "Cantar de Mío Cid", es el manuscrito de la literatura clásica castellana, mas antiguo, del que se tenga noticia. Existen otros códices, que también tratan sobre la vida del Cid Campeador, y son contemporáneos a este, pero fueron escritos en latín, y se consideran más bién, como parte de la literatura hispano-romana. El códice "Carmen Campidoctoris" (poema latino), fue escrito en un latín clásico, y su estilo es más parecido a los poemas greco-latinos. El códice "Incipit Gesta Rodericii Campi Docti", está escrito en un latín más contemporáneo, y trata más bien, sobre aspectos prácticos y hechos históricos, de las crónicas romances de las gestas medievales hispanas. Y por supuesto, como mencioné antes, ambos tratan sobre la vida de Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, El Cid Campeador.
“Stand down, Indiana Jones: these two historians say the holy grail has been discovered . . . A ride rich in historical detail” (Publishers Weekly). Recently discovered parchments in the Egyptian University of Al-Azhar have finally made it possible to identify where the Holy Grail has been kept for the past one thousand years. Their discovery led Margarita Torres Sevilla and José Miguel Ortega del Río on a three-year investigation as they traced the Grail’s journey across the globe and discovered its final resting place in the Basilica of San Isidoro in León, Spain. Translated by Rosie Marteau, this is the definitive guide to one of history’s most sought-after treasures, the object of both Arthurian myth and Christian legend. Kings of the Grail presents new historical and scientific facts that have come to light, unraveling the mystery that has surrounded the Holy Grail and taking the reader on a compelling and thought-provoking journey back through time. “The writers make a convincing case . . . This book is a fascinating look at a mystery which has caught the Western imagination via books, poems and movies.” —The Historical Novels Review “An academic exposé on the famed cup of Christ. Torres Sevilla and Ortega del Río claim to have proven the identity of the true grail, the cup with which Jesus Christ and his Apostles shared wine at the Last Supper . . . [An] intriguing glimpse at one of Christianity’s great treasures.” —Kirkus Reviews
