is one of two major forgeries by the hagiographer Tamayo de Salazar (d. 1662),
as exposed by Nicolás Antonio (Censura de historias fabulosas. Valencia, 1742.
See Bib# 4103586/Fr# 1567 in this collection), a completely fabricated ‘Carmen
Heroicum’ on the coming of the Apostle Saint James [the Great] to Spain, by a
mythical twelfth-century poet ‘Aulus Halus’ of Bordeaux and Toledo – the text
supposedly ‘edited’ by the forger himself from an otherwise unknown ‘Gothic’
manuscript. Tamayo de Salazar later authored another great hagiographic
forgery, the six-volume ‘<span>Anamnesis’</span>
(Lyon, 1651-59). </span><span lang="nl-be" style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;" xml:lang="nl-be">See W. Speyer, Die literarische
