ZUBILLAGA, Carina. El mal singular frente al bien plural en el Ms. K-III-4 (Libro de Apolonio, Vida de Santa María Egipciaca, Libro de los tres reyes de Oriente). Olivar [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.33, e097. ISSN 1852-4478.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18524478e098.

The manuscript K-III-4 brings together three poems from the early thirteenth century that present numerous common features, particularly thematic, despite their differences. The associations between each other bring them closer, despite the fact that critics initially considered them as representatives of “mester de clerecía” and “mester de juglaría” due to their stylized verse (Libro de Apolonio) or its popular verse (Vida de Santa María Egipciaca and Libro de los tres reyes de Oriente). Christian exemplarity is the axis that allows them to be unified, through the good-evil opposition that shapes each poem and the identification of the forms of good with the collective and of the manifestations of evil to individuality.

Palabras clave : Singular evil; Plural good; Christian ethics; Manuscript compilation.
