A reference work for the study of the evolution of Spanish, it analyses the phonetic, morphological and syntactic changes that have shaped the language since its origins.

The work, originally published in 1904 as «Manual elemental de gramática histórica española», reached later editions such as the fourteenth or the twenty-third.
