Las lenguas del archivo pretende articular el quehacer del archivo como exploración en el campo y trabajo documental con la reflexión teórico-crítica en torno a la relación entre los términos propuestos en el título. La filología, en sus avatares contemporáneos, se ofrece aquí como el hilo conductor para interrogar un objeto tan amplio y vigente como elusivo. El archivo cuya lengua se interroga aquí es un espacio plural y diverso: a partir de una selección de contribuciones damos a conocer el resultado de un largo y constante diálogo teórico y crítico entre disciplinas que atraviesan y transitan los bordes de la crítica, la teoría literaria y las ciencias del lenguaje, que en la interrogación de las formas de su base empírica y los rasgos de su armazón teórica procuran hacer visible y legible un objeto que han contribuido a conformar. Un punto que intersecta esos recorridos está dado en el texto de Didi-Huberman que abre el volumen, publicado por primera vez en español.

This book traces the history of manuscript production in the Islamic West between the 10th and the 12th centuries. It interrogates the material evidence that survives from this period, paying special attention to the origin and development of Maghribi round scripts, the distinctive form of Arabic writing employed in al-Andalus (Muslim Iberia) and Northwest Africa. More than 200 dated manuscripts written in Maghribi round scripts - many of which have not previously been published and are of great historical significance - are presented and discussed. This leads to a reconstruction of the activity of Maghribi calligraphers, copyists, notaries and secretaries, creating a better understanding of the development of their practices. Using a blend of art historical methods, palaeographic analyses and a thorough scrutiny of Arabic sources, the author paints a comprehensive and lively picture of Maghribi manuscript culture, from its beginnings under the Umayyads of Cordova until the heyday of the Almohad caliphate. He lifts the veil on a glorious, yet neglected season in the history of Arabic calligraphy, shedding new light on a tradition that was crucial for the creation of the Andalusi identity and its spread throughout the medieval Mediterranean.

The writing of the past between monks and laypeople is a direct testimony of the current vitality of medieval studies in Brazil, especially those dedicated to new historical problems about the Portuguese kingdom in the late centuries of the Middle Ages. Leandro Alves Teodoro revisits Portuguese chronological sources from two places of production: the scriptorium of the monastery of Santa Cruz de Coimbra and the royal court of the Avis dynasty. The merit of this book is in the comparison between these two types of chronicles, unveiling the path of writing history in two distinct moments. In the 12th century, the foundation of the Crosier monastery of the canons ruling Saint Augustine was intertwined with the creation of the kingdom of Portugal. The monks were responsible for the constitution and ordering of the memory of the kingdom's glories. From 1385 onwards, the author analyzes the process of transforming this monastic history into a secular historical knowledge in the hands of royal chroniclers. In this process, Christian values ​​were incorporated so that these chronicles could also have a pedagogical action in the formation of the noble knights of the kingdom, seeking to idealize the present and the future through the triumphs of the past. With a well-written text, Teodoro provides both a pleasant reading and a return to the origins of the art of Portuguese chronological composition.
