Summary
El Escorial, Real Biblioteca de San Lorenzo d.11.18, fols. 94r–93v (foliation reversed), saec. xv (described in Guillermo Antolin, Catálogo de los códices latinos de la Real Biblioteca del Escorial 1 [Madrid, 1910], pp. 451–458). Anonymous gloss to the Constitution of King Pere II, ‘Item quod in terris siue locis’ enacted at the Corts of Barcelona, 1283.
(f. 94r) Item quod in terris consueuerunt. … Dico quod de iure communi presumpcio est quod omnes homines sunt liberi nisi contrarium probetur, item de iure istius terre generaliter vltra et citra flumen Lupricati nisi sit consuetudo quod consueuerunt se redimere vt habes hic in aperto. Unde debes scire quod quando Ispania sit ocupata a Saracenis propter prodicionem comitis Iuliani, et tenebant Christ <i> anos quasi captiuos (f. 93V) et (erant?) se redimi et facere istas seruitutes. Ex post venerunt Christiani et conquistabant istam terram et, cum continue preliabant contra Saracenos, petierunt secrete adiutorium ab istis Christianis captiuis, qui timore Saracenorum nullum sufragium voluerunt dare Christianis. Et Christiani per gratiam Iesu Christi totam terram conquistarunt et aplicarunt fidey Christiane, et multi fuerunt in oppinione quod interficerent Christianos istos sic captiuos ex eo quare tempore conquiste nullum sufragium voluerunt prestare Christianis. Ali <i> tenuerunt quod illesi remanerent et sub Christianis sicuti erant tempore Saracenorum, et quod redimerent se et cultiuarent et alia seruicia facerent Christianis sicuti facere solebant Saracenis et sic fuerunt a morte liberati. Et eo dicunt antiqui quibus est credendum cum dicta antiquorum probant, ut super iura, in salmo, Deus, auribus nostris audimus.
