La carta 53v del Matricensis Q 87 e le antiquitates rinvenute a Caralib. in Sardinia

The autograph paper 53v of the manuscript 5781 = Q 87 from the Biblioteca Nacional de
Madrid transcribes the texts of some documents wich have been found in Càller in Sardinia
and communicated to Agustín by an unknown correspondent. The short collection, totally
ignored by Rodrigo Baeza’s PanegyricusCaralis (1551), has probably been dismembered in
the years following immediatly its discovery and then partially recomposed just at the end
of the xix century. Here we try to reconstruct the context of discovery of the collection, the
identity of the correspondent of Agustín, the vicissitudes of each piece and their interest
for the reconstruction of the socio-cultural frame of Roman Karales
