• Sommario/riassunto: The writing of the past between monks and laypeople is a direct testimony of the current vitality of medieval studies in Brazil, especially those dedicated to new historical problems about the Portuguese kingdom in the late centuries of the Middle Ages. Leandro Alves Teodoro revisits Portuguese chronological sources from two places of production: the scriptorium of the monastery of Santa Cruz de Coimbra and the royal court of the Avis dynasty. The merit of this book is in the comparison between these two types of chronicles, unveiling the path of writing history in two distinct moments. In the 12th century, the foundation of the Crosier monastery of the canons ruling Saint Augustine was intertwined with the creation of the kingdom of Portugal. The monks were responsible for the constitution and ordering of the memory of the kingdom's glories. From 1385 onwards, the author analyzes the process of transforming this monastic history into a secular historical knowledge in the hands of royal chroniclers. In this process, Christian values ​​were incorporated so that these chronicles could also have a pedagogical action in the formation of the noble knights of the kingdom, seeking to idealize the present and the future through the triumphs of the past. With a well-written text, Teodoro provides both a pleasant reading and a return to the origins of the art of Portuguese chronological composition.
