Dulcidius likely compiled the Asturian chronicle sources himself

Evidence

This seems to indicate that Dulcidius assembled the documentation, perhaps largely from manuscripts that he himself had brought to Oviedo from Toledo and Córdoba. This may (as Bonnaz speculates) make him the author of the Roda version, which is then reworked by Sebastian before being given royal approval by its official auctor, Alfonso. — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 1651

  • QUESTION: Dulcidius’s specific manuscript travels from Toledo and Córdoba to Oviedo deserve chasing — did his bibliographic work shape which sources survived?
