Abstract

This paper offers an historiographical assesment of “Der Schatz von Aliseda”, a late work (1928) in the bibliography of José Ramón Mélida Alinari. The analysis of the circumstances in which it arises and madurates is essential to understand his interpretive turn about questions as the context or the cronology of the famous Aliseda’s Treasure, found casually in 1920 and studied and recovered to the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid by this distinguished character of Spanish Archeology.
