Documentation

During months I was compiling information for the investigation: in Internet, in historical files, libraries and foundations. By now the only studied made about Romasanta which worth to name for his rigour is at Xosé Domínguez's web. I used it as a guide to start my research. Domínguez with Lino Blanco published “O home do unto. Manuel Blando Romasanta. Historia real de una leyenda” (The man of the lard. Manuel Blanco Romasanta, real story of a legend) study published by the Deputación Provincial de Ourense (Ourense's Council Provincial) in 1991.

Advisable also the film Romasanta, the hunt of the beast, (2004) produced by Filmax and directed by Paco Plaza, although the adaptation to the Cinema was not a faithful guide to the facts perpetrated by Romasanta, it’s useful to do an environmental recreation of the life of “Sacamanteigas”.
I would stand out, the web part mentioned previously, and the information that I could get from the Arquivo do Reino de Galicia (Historical Archive of the Kingdom of Galicia), Arquivo Histórico Provincial de Ourense (Ourense's Provincial Historical Archive) and texts written by Vicente Risco as “Un caso de Lycantropía, o home-lobo” (A case of lycanthropy, the wolf men), 1929, Ed. Moret, as well as the facsimil edition wich gives a "Review of the formulated cause at the Court of 1st instance of Allariz, district of. Coruña, against Manuel Blanco Romasanta, the “wolf man" published by the editorial Aranzadi, Pamplona, 2000.

Once recompiled and studied the existing documentation, It´s time to start the second phase of the investigation: to travel to Europe, to the place of the facts and to do a follow-up in situ for the places in which Romasanta lived, he walked, bought, sold and committed the crimes.
The trip I will do it concretly or on Tuesday, the 18th of May and stay there during one month, more or less, attending to the difficulties.
