Summary/Abstract: On the occasion of the celebration of the centenary of the publication of Documentos lingüísticos de España, by Ramón Menéndez Pidal, two objectives are proposed: to state the importance of notarial documentation for the history of the Spanish language and to demonstrate that, despite the formulaic form of some parts of these texts, they are a source which registers a considerable number of linguistic innovations in all areas (phonic, morphological, syntactic and pragmatic). In order to demonstrate it, the article deals with three deontic periphrasis with deber found in Documentos lingüísticos and another collections of Spanish notary documents.
