Resumen
[ES] En este trabajo final de Máster se realiza un estudio de la fórmula latina usada en colofones Qui scripsit
carmen sit benedictus amen. La fórmula parece haber estado activa entre los siglos XIII y XV y es
especialmente frecuente en manuscritos de origen inglés. Tras elaborar un corpus de manuscritos que la
contienen, se realiza un estudio estadístico de su uso para esclarecer su origen, difusión espacial y
temporal y posibles variantes. Se concluye que la probabilidad de que la formula tenga un origen inglés es
alta.
