ABSTRACT
This article aims to collaborate in the historical and philological study of the Emilian Glosses and Silenses, so in need of thorough investigations from the most varied perspectives. From the critical analysis of some of the most recent and prestigious contributions, it warns of the insufficient consistency of the arguments both for delaying the dating of the Glosses to assign the place of origin. These scientific reservations are based mainly paleographic and linguistic reasons.
Keywords: Glosses, glosses Emilianense, glossing Silense, Romance, Euskera, Monastery of San Millan, Abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos.
