Résumé
Critical edition based on all extant witnesses, two incunabula and seven manuscripts, together with Spanish translation, of the letter sent by Bishop Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo to Cardinal Bessarion in which he offers him consolation for the recent fall of the island of Euboea, also called Nigroponte, in the hands of the Turks on July 12, 1470.
