Abstract

The objective of this study is to offer a typology of the means of transport found in the books of Belianis written by Jerónimo Fernández, one of the books of chivalry that covers a wider geography, in order to review these vehicles, their descriptions, the narrative function they perform and the repercussions of their incorporation in the story and in the perception of it by the reader. Since there is no classificatory study of the means of transport in the books of chivalry, although some attention has been devoted to magical vehicles, the typology established for the Belianis offers the possibility of serving as a basis for future research that might include other works of the genre.
