Sumario:The Historia de los Reyes Moros de Granada, written by the chronicler Hernando de Baeza in the first half of the XVI century, in Spain, is a valuable text that provides a very different perspective from other late medieval Spanish official chronicles. In this article we give an account of the discovery of a previously unknown manuscript of this chronicle which, unlike the two others already known, is complete and includes the ending and the negotiations between the Catholic Kings of Spain and the last Nasrid sultan Boabdil for the Islamic surrender of Granada. We describe this previously unknown manuscript, give an account of the importance of the codex in which it is found, and show the importance of this discovery for Spanish historiography.
