It is the oldest Spanish epic poem that is nearly complete; the only missing pages are the first page along with 2 others within the writing. However, other accounts of the work have led historians to produce what is likely to have been in the missing segments. Along with this poem, there exists three other works chronicling the life of El Cid: "Mocedades de Rodrigo" (circa 1360), the "Cantar de Roncesvalles" (circa 1270), and an epitaph, the "Epitafio épico del Cid" (circa 1400).
