CampeadorTranslation from Italian in progress, help welcomed. Campeador was a nickname or cognomen applied to Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar (El Cid); it is the Romance or Vulgar Latin version of the Latin campi doctor or campi doctus; the term pu essere rinvenuto in writings of late Latinity (4th–5th century) and can be found in some inscriptions of that era. After that period it became rare, although still sometimes found in the writings of the less educated writers of the Middle Ages. The literal significance of the expression campi doctor is "master of the military arts" and its use in the period of the late Roman Empire appears to have signified only one who instructed new military recruits. La sua ricomparsa nella Spain of the 11th century is a curious fact, but spiegato in modo convincente. It is significant that the definition was applied to an armiger reale, anche se non detto che sia stata impiegata alla the court of Sancho II. Forse the term stato riscoperto e rimesso in circolazione dall'autore del Carmen Campi Doctoris, probably educated in the Catalan monastery of Ripoll. In Ripoll there was an excellent library and the author could have encountered this expression in the course of his reading. What is certain is that it was in current usage when El Cid was still alive e venne riferita a Rodrigo da a member of his circle in an official document promulgated in his name in 1098.
