Abstract
This paper presents a paleographic analysis of the text copied by the main hand in the Lybro de magyka, an astrological guide in Spanish acquired by Hernando Colón in 1527, in Seville. According to the Colombina Library, the text is written in Gothic cursive with the humanistic g. Our objective is to present a detailed description of the writing of the document and to verify that information. The results indicate that in fact the manuscript presents a multigraphism mentioned by the Library. This provides more information about the history of the manuscript, which description is an essential stage for the introduction of the text in the corpus of research on the Spanish and Romance languages.Downloads
