• A bibliographical, material, description of the «Buscón’s» editio «princeps»

  M. Quintanar

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2016). Vol. 4, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  This article describes the Buscón’s editio princeps from a material point of view. Special attention is paid to the material examination of the busiest pages and of the emptiest pages. In the same way, this article studies the insertion of censorious and stylistic exclusive readings of the first edition. The information obtained shows that the variants due to ratio typographica were sporadic and irrelevant with regard to their meaning. Furthermore, it is possible that some exclusive variants of the first edition were introduced by the author, since they appear in other Quevedo’s works.

• The Words not Translated in Titu Cusi Yupanqui's «Instrucción»

  M. Cattan

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2016). Vol. 4, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  This study examines textual evidence in Titu Cusi's Instrucción in order to review the mediation that fray Marcos Garcia had in the production of this document. From a critical analysis of certain textual marks, the author attempts to reflect on the translation process and measure the level of intervention that the European thought —that of the translator’s Marcos García— has over the native point of view (i.e., the author’s Titu Cusi). The analysis focuses on the study of the select group of quechua words that were maintained in the text and the reasons why they were not translated into Spanish. To frame the translation strategy used by Marcos García, historical aspects and current theory on the art of translation are considered. Also, the concept of monologism introduced by Bakhtin is reviewed in order to understand the ideology that prevails over the translator’s discourse.

• Swordmanship as Mathematical Science: The Curious Case of Luis Pacheco de Narváez

  F. Schmelzer

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2016). Vol. 4, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  From the 15th century on, the practitioners of the mechanical arts obtain a new self-confidence and do no longer want to be regarded merely as manual workers. In this context, they frequently underline the mathematical basis of their discipline in order to increase its value from the status of a mechanical to that of a liberal art. In the Spanish golden age period, the military art, amongst others, is conceived as a mathematical discipline. A particularly curious case is the Libro de las grandezas de la espada (1600) whose author, Luis Pacheco de Narváez (1570-1640), propagates the art of swordsmanship, which he names «the true skill», as a science based on the disciplines of the quadrivium. The present article outlines the arguments applied by Pacheco in a preliminary chapter in order to prove the mathematical and scientific status of his discipline.

• Theatrical Companies, Textual Manipulation and Literary Authorship (Concerning Lope de Vega’s Tongue)

  D. Rodríguez

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2016). Vol. 4, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  In this paper I will study the presence and use of the words do, vide y vido in Lope de Vega’s works, by analyzing twenty seven critical editions based on Lopean holographs. The restricted and particular way in which Lope used these terms will allow me to identify passages from different plays that were surely manipulated, probably by directors of theatrical companies. By studying these examples, I will think about the need to analyze the vocabulary in order to prepare a critical edition and about the reliability and limits of the vocabulary as a method for determining the authorship of a Golden Age comedia.

• Linguistic Variation or Copyist Error?

  R. Riquelme, T. Vergara

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2016). Vol. 4, (1), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  This article, embedded in the field of Philology —with an historical approach and a linguistic viewpoint— and in the history of the Spanish language, discusses the acceptability of the examples presented as copyist errors in two of the most renowned manuals in Spanish textual criticism, namely, Manual de crítica textual (1983, 2001) by Alberto Blecua, and La edición de textos (2011) by Miguel Ángel Pérez Priego (for Pérez Priego, see Arellano’s observations in his review, 1997). The analysis of the cases and their documentation from different sources —critical editions and metalinguistic works— enables the conclusion that several of the so-called errors in these manuals are in fact legitimate, historically-documented linguistic variations, although some of them being scarcely testified.

• Pirate Alterity and Mimesis in Colonial Epic Poetry

  J. Navascués

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2016). Vol. 4, (1), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  Pirate representation is studied in a series of Epic poems in the late sixteenth century and early seventeenth century. The ambiguous image of the English enemy is read in texts by Juan de Miramontes, Pedro de Oña, Martín del Barco Centenera and Juan de Castellanos, among others. On the one hand, Colonial Epic ignores some important differences between privateers and pirates since the privateering had been legally accepted by all European nations, including Spain. Besides, Pirate is always called «Lutheran» and revealing its absolute otherness with respect to the Catholic model. On the other hand, it proposes a laudatory epics enemy painting from the imitation of the values accepted by the colonial society. The relationship between the Spanish hero and the privateer is represented not in a vertical direction, as could happen between colonizer and colonized subject, but on a level of rivalry.
