El léxico militar en el Poema de Alfonso XI

Abstract

The Poema de Alfonso XI, composed around 1348 by Rodrigo
Yáñez, narrates the principal events of Alfonso XI’s life and
reign (1312-50), from his childhood until his triumphal entrance into
Algeciras (1344). It is one of the best sources for the study of mid
fourteenth-century military terminology. This article is divided into
two parts. The first constitutes a complete glossary of the military
terminology contained in the Poema de Alfonso XI. The second is a
more detailed study of twenty terms that have not been recorded in
any existing dictionaries or that have presented problems of interpretation
in some of the editions of the Poema.
