De Serpentibus en el norte medieval: traducción y comentario a Om Ormar.
Palabras clave:
enciclopedias, serpientes, Isidoro de Sevilla, Alberto Magno, Islandia
Resumen
El artículo presenta una primera traducción castellana del fragmento enciclopédico islandés conocido como Om Ormar. Este texto constituye una versión abreviada de los textos latinos sobre animales reptilianos que derivan de la sección De Serpentibus de las Etimologías isidorianas. Presentamos aquí además algunas reflexiones sobre su posible lugar en la cultura letrada medieval islandesa, así como de su posible filiación dentro de la cultura enciclopédica de la Edad Media Central, planteando la hipótesis de su cercanía con el pasaje correspondiente en el De Animalibus de Alberto Magno.
