Description In the paper, the use of the ablative of gerund in the Mozarabic Chronicle of 754 was studied. There are ablatives of gerund used in a classical way, but also ablatives of gerund that approximate to the present participle as employed in Late Latin. Their approximation is proved by the significant number of circumstantial ablatives of gerund, including those denoting anteriority with regard to the State of Affairs of the main predication. In the Mozarabic Chronicle, there are cases of absolute construction with the gerund too. The most typical feature of the ablative of gerund is not a precisely specified semantic function. The development observed in the Mozarabic Chronicle can be related to the use of gerund in the old Spanish texts.
