Abstract
One of the few testimonies of the direct application of Visigothic law are the so called Formulae Visigothicae. In spite of their uncertain origin, they are thought to have been written in the reign of king Sisebut, circa 620. Of the 46 formularies that comprise the collection, the present work is centred on the group specifically dedicated to the manumission of slaves, placing special emphasis on the analysis of one, which could be considered to contain almost all of the elements assumed to be found in this kind of document. The importance which Roman Law (especially the notarial tradition) had in the elaboration of these texts is also emphasized.
