Hello. I'd like to know if you can recommend me some new books or articles about
the origin of the difference in verbs "ser" and "estar" in Spanish.  I know that
the difference is present also in Portuguese (and "gallego"), so I think that
maybe the roots of this is in a big branch that includes the "galaico-portugués"
and the "leonés" (which I've read is the basis of Spanish -"castellano"-). 

According to Ricardo Carballo Calero, Portuguese and Spanish were originated as
dialects of "gallego" and "leonés" respectively, which, in time, were originated
from a "protorromance galaico". If his hypothesis were true, does it mean that
the beginning of our structure ser-estar started in this "protorromance galaico"?

Thank you for your help and sorry for the Spanish words I haven't translated
into English (I didn't know how to do it).
