A - discovered while the incunabula collection of the Córdoba Public Library was being
catalogued, bound together with another incunabulum.
B - Work written towards the end of the life of the author, who died in 1247. The manuscript was brought to the Dominican Convent of San Pablo, Cordoba, at the end of the thirteenth century at the request of Fr. Pedro de San Andres. There is documentary proof that it was lent to the city's Bishop on 25 September 1454. In 1835 the Dominicans were expelled and in 1842, the Cordoba Public Library, which houses that Convent's collections, was established. The work was exhibited in the Bibliographical Section of the International Exposition in Seville in 1929 and at the Exhibition of Bookmakers from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance in Madrid in 1994.

5. Assessment against the selection criteria

5.1 Assessment of the documentary heritage against each criterion described in Annex 2
A - Collection of unpublished poems and letters by the Italian humanist, dedicated or addressed to Prince Miguel, son of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain; to the Duke of Medina Sidonia; and to the Archbishop of Toledo, Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros.
B - Archbishop Jimenéz de Rada's work marks the beginning of a long series of historical monographs on Spain. It is a record of Hispanic events, in which the genealogy of the royal Houses of Navarre, Aragon, Castile and Portugal is established. The second work, the Cronica Omnium Pontificum, must have been written in Rome, while he was attending the Fourth Lateran Council (1215)

5.2 Contextual assessment of the documents
A - To date, there is only one copy of this document, which contains unknown texts that bring this humanist's work to completion.
B - The copy is considered to be the oldest preserved copy of this work and the first work on Spanish history as a whole. If its great formal beauty is also taken into consideration then it is a codex of extraordinary historical, cultural and artistic value.

5.3 Evaluation of authenticity
B - Thirteenth-century Gothic script. Contains numerous hand-written notes from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries.

5.4 Assessment of rarity (if appropriate)
A - It has not been described in any other repertory apart from those mentioned in the bibliographical section.
