‘Gloss 89’, from the Codex Aemilianensis 60: the first Spanish text. The Hispanic Romance language makes its first linguistic appearance in this text as the earliest record fully expressing the romance language of Iberia in the High Middle Ages. This was the first text that purposefully displayed the lexicon, grammar and sounds of the language which evolved into a universal language - Spanish.
