Valencia, 1742. See Bib# 4103586/Fr# 1567 in this collection), a completely fabricated ‘Carmen Heroicum’ on the coming of the Apostle Saint James [the Great] to Spain, by a mythical twelfth-century poet ‘Aulus Halus’ of Bordeaux and Toledo – the text supposedly ‘edited’ by the forger himself from an otherwise unknown ‘Gothic’ manuscript. Tamayo de Salazar later authored another great hagiographic forgery, the six-volume ‘<span>Anamnesis’</span> (Lyon, 1651-59). </span><span lang="nl-be" style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;" xml:lang="nl-be">See W.
