Now housed in Spain's Archivo Histórico Nacional, the El Cid Documents relate to the life of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. Díaz de Vivar, also known as The Cid (an Arabic honorific meaning "lord"), was a knight, ruler, and a Spanish national hero and cultural icon widely represented in literature. The collection includes originals, copies, and forgeries dating from the Cid's lifetime and after. One document records a donation made by El Cid and his wife, Jimina, to the Benedictine monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
