Siete Partidas, stylometry, authorship analysisAbstract
This study is based on three considerations. Firstly, the certainty that King Alfonso X is not the true author of any of the works attributed to him, although he could have intervened in their conception (García Solalinde, Menéndez Pidal, Fernández Ordóñez). Secondly, the extensive debate that has existed since the 16th century over whether Jacobo de las Leyes was one of the main authors/writers of the Siete Partidas. Thirdly, it takes into account the suggestion that more than one author could have participated in the composition of each of the Partidas (Pérez Prendes). From this basis, a stylometric analysis is undertaken to try to determine whether the intervention of more than one writer/author in each of the Partidas can be confirmed. To do this, three kinds of analysis are carried out: cluster analysis, principal component analysis and rolling classify. In the introduction the problem of authorship is examined. The section materials details how analyses were carried out. The results section explains what conclusions can be reached with each of the analyses carried out. The final conclusion is that the stylometric analyses are inconclusive when a reference corpus is not available.
