    ¿Un cánido con alma de león? Un resello para Gran Canaria.
    (Revista Numismática Hécate., 2025) García González, Jaime Alberto; Sin departamento asociado
    A lo largo del presente trabajo, pretendemos arrojar más luz a la incógnita de partida, donde la numismática canaria ha dado sus primeros, pero decisivos pasos, durante los últimos años. Para alcanzar este objetivo, partiremos de dos hipótesis formuladas en otro trabajo, publicado en 2022, pero que, mediante el análisis de varios ejemplares de este resello grancanario aparecidos a lo largo del 2024, destacaremos dos piezas inéditas, que han resultado ser determinante para la investigación.

    Los destinatarios del "Rommans de la dame a la licorne et du biau chevalier"
    (2015-12-03) García Fernández, Manuel Angel
    The Rommans de la Dame á la Licorne et du Biau du Chevalier is an anonymous account of the mid-fourteenth century consists of some 8500 octosyllabic courteous overloaded adventure novels inspired by the love of the Arthurian cycle. The two protagonists of fiction of the poem seem to have had two for living: Blanca de Navarra, the Lady and the Unicorn, and John the Good, the handsome knight. The dedication as a composite shield that appears on folio 14 of manuscript only refers to the matrimonial alliance of these families. The wedding never took place because the promised eventually married the father, but the manuscript survived as the only witness to this curious episode happened at the French court. The story, deeply rooted in the events of the time, is one of the last verse of courtly román mold characteristic of the mentality of the era that craves the glorious deeds of a glorious era that moves away in time.
