MUNTANER, Ramon (1265-1336)
Chronica o descripcio dels fets, e hazanyes del inclyt rey don Jaume primer rey Darago, de Mallorques, e de Valencia, ...e de molts de sos descendents. Barcelone : Jaume Cortey, 1562.

Seconde édition de cette célèbre chronique, qui se distingue des autres grands travaux historiographiques de son temps par la position de Muntaner dans l'entourage des rois aragonais - il ne fait pas oeuvre de compilateur, mais écrit comme un témoin. Redécouverte avec la parution de l'édition originale en 1558, sa Chronica, via le roman de chevalerie Tirant Io Blanc qui en est dérivé, est l'une des sources utilisées par Cervantès pour son Quichoxe.
