Abstract
The purpose of this artiele is to offer an inquiry on location and mediation, trying to analyze the role of images in thinking about history and place. The miniatures of the Crónica Troyana de Alfonso Xl (Escorial, h.I.6) allow us to reflect upon the way they shape a concrete perception of the text and also a very idea of past and its meanings. The notion of anachronism links both the medieval refiguration of past and our own, and poses compelling questions about the ethics of historical writing.
