In this paper, I will present some reflections about the classical attribution of the only manuscript of the Chronicle of Aniane (Paris Bnf Ms. Lat. 5941, 12th century) to the Catalonian abbey of Ripoll; in my opinion, the arguments used in recent years to dismiss the attribution of this fundamental source on Aquitanian history to Ripoll are not very strong and may display a restrictive image of the cross-borders relations between Aquitaine and Catalonia since the Carolingian times.
