This paper offers the editio princeps of the life of John the Almsgiver transmited in ms. Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Lat. 3820. This codex dating from the 14th century belonged to the St. Trophime cathedral of Arles. It is the only known witness of a late translation of the saint's life written by Leontius of Neapolis, already spread across the latin world trough the version of Anastasius the Librarian. A concise introduction to the latin text and a Castilian translation are presented alongside the critical edition.
Este trabajo se propone brindar una aproximación al antiguo libro impreso existente en nuestras colecciones nacionales a través del examen de un aspecto hasta ahora poco estudiado: la presencia de fragmentos de manuscritos medievales y humanísticos empleados como refuerzos de diversa índole en las encuadernaciones, reconociendo su tipología a través del análisis de casos representativos.
