A lenda de Gaia dos livros de Linhagens : uma questão de literatura?

Abstract

In the present study the author defends the idea that, if it is indeed correct to see the oldest version of the Lenda de Gaia of the Book of Lineages as a product of certain forms of oral transmission, the same cannot be said of the longest version: this was probably written with a very precise intention in mind, and to understand it we must go back to the final reworking of the Livro de Linhagens do Conde D. Pedro.
