• «En los mayores peligros se conoce la amistad» («Friendship is Best Acknowledged when in Danger»), an Auto Sacramental (Eucharistic Morality Play) by José de Valdivieso, Staged at the Corpus Christi Feast in Seville, in 1619. An Analysis and a Virtual Reconstruction

  M. Peña, V. Palacios

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2017). Vol. 5, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  This paper studies José de Valdivieso’s En los mayores peligros se conoce la amistad (Friendship is best acknowledged when in danger) one of the five autos sacramentales (Eucharistic morality plays) staged at the Corpus Christi feast in Seville, in 1619, by Diego de Vallejo. It also bears the title La amistad en el peligro (Friendship when in danger), and has never been published in a modern critical edition, though two published records (1622 and 1624) bear witness to the play, of which there are two 17 th Century manuscript versions extant. This article, based on contemporary records, studies the historical socio-religious- urban context of the Corpus Christi feast in Seville and virtually reconstructs the play’s performance, on pageant wagons, and its subsequent procession within the town.

• The Bestiary in Lope de Vega’s Sacramental Plays

  E. Lueiro

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2017). Vol. 5, (1), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  In the critical bibliography referred to Lope de Vega, the scholar usually finds the image of this author as a forerunner of Calderón. A good strategy to verify this impression is through partial studies as this devoted to the analysis of the bestiary in the sacramental plays. This article analyses the bestiary assigned to Christ, the devil and others more eclectic references ascribed to metaphorical expressions, or biblical characters. In short, the author proves that there is a strategy of performance through associative nets (that combines biblical text, patristic references, emblems, sculpture and painting) laying down the way to the magnificense of Calderón.

• The Topic of the Jerusalem War in Luis de Miranda and Martin del Barco Centenera

  S. Tieffemberg

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2017). Vol. 5, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  The work proposes an analysis of Chapters IV and IX of Argentina y conquista del Rio de la Plata, the first epic poem about this region, published in 1602 by Martin del Barco Centenera, in dialogue with the so-called Romance of Luis de Miranda, the first poem about the same region, probably written about 1540. This analysis, whose point of departure is the discursive complexity of colonial productions and their multiple horizons of gestation and circulation, considers in a particular way in both texts the presence and rearticulation, in the early colonial-colonial political scene, of a topic of great diffusion in the peninsular literature of the time, that of the siege of Jerusalem. This topic, which refers to the account of Flavius Josephus De bello Iudaico, is shaped on two axes: the destruction of the city as divine punishment and the ravages caused by hunger because of the site.

• Continuity with Creole Epic and Innovation in the «History of New Mexico», 1610

  P. Cebollero

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2017). Vol. 5, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  This is an introductory study to Gaspar de Villagrá’s History of New Mexico (1610) in the context of the Cortés epic cycle tradition. The concept of «epic continuity» is utilized in order to better understand how the poem adheres to epic tradition at the same time that it goes through formal changes needed for its renovation. Part of the renovation is the inclusion of prose as a legal defense strategy, and its use as a vehicle for the struggles of Mexican Creoles. It is proposed that this poem belongs in a Frontier Creole epic sub-cycle.

  J. Zambrana

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2017). Vol. 5, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  This paper explores the representation of the Holy Office in allegorical works in which beyond the mere mention of his name is seen the character and / or the preparation and execution of the auto of faith, which constitutes the most ostensible proof of its power. After tracing a rapid panorama, the analysis focuses on The Inquisition, by Mira de Amescua, a little known work that has remained unpublished until very recently.

• The Dramatic Development of the Parable of the Prodigal Son in the Sacramental Play by Alonso Remón

  R. Rodríguez

  Revista Test Hipogrifo (2017). Vol. 5, (2), 1

  
  

  Abstract

  The parable of the prodigal son is circumscribed as a predominant theme for the authors of the Spanish Golden Age to develop the plot of some of his autos sacramentales. However, among all these playwrights, the figure of Alonso Remón and his piece have been largely ignored. This article reviews the sacramental career of this author and highlights its importance and differences compared to other comedies that address the same theme.
