• The influence of St. Augustine in the Sacramental Plays of Lope

  A. Domingo

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

  
  

  Abstract

  The success of Spiritual Literature in Golden Age, especifically St Augustine prays and his autobiography Confessions, are used by Lope de Vega to reflect the official position of the Catholic Counter-Reformation. The Sacramental play shows these rethoric aspirations and Lope, in order to teach and make the audience feel like he did with Sacred Rimes, uses images and Augustinian themes to get it.

  F. Sánchez, M. Márquez

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

  
  

  Abstract

  In the beginnings of New Spain, particularly in the middle of the sixteenth century, Bishop Vasco de Quiroga maintained a serious confrontation with the inhabitants of Guayangareo, who sought to obtain the name of Michoacán, which originally corresponded to the bishopric established by Quiroga based on Various Royal Cedars. The conflict, turned into a trial that would last several years, would show the interest of Vasco de Quiroga, for a social integration, between the naturals and the Europeans of New Spain.

• Language Ideas in the Teaching of Latin in the 17th and 18th Centuries. Rivalry between Vernacular Languages: Antoni Portella’s «Nou mètode per aprendre la llengua llatina»

  R. Vila

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

  
  

  Abstract

  In 1764, Antoni Portella i Enric presented his book titled Nou methode per aprendre la llengua llatina. Primera part dels Rudiments (in English: A new method for learning Latin. Part one of the rudiments) to the Palma Town Hall. The book exemplified Port-Royal dictates and the fashionable educational ideas of the 17th century; it was successfully used in Minorcan schools, but it did not catch on in Majorca. The fact that it was written in Catalan, a language that was commonly used on the smaller island subject to the Treaty of Utrecht, and competed with grammar books created by experts who questioned its adequacy, put it at the center of a debate on the methodology for teaching Latin, as was common across Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, but with the addition of the conflict between the two vernacular languages, Catalan and Spanish. This work deals with the controversy of ideas about the Catalan, Spanish and Latin languages that was lived in the second half of the eighteenth century in Mallorca and Menorca in the field of education; as well as the grammatical works in use.

• The Portrait of the Barbarian and the Concept of Barbarism in the Epic on the Arauco War in the Sixteenth Century

  M. Salazar

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

  
  

  Abstract

  The article approaches the epic poems that sang the process of conquest of Chile in the 16th century and, especially, the Arauco War. These works offer a representation that although it exalted the natives as heroes in battle, portrayed them also as barbarians, complex configuration that reflected an epic but critique perception on the conflict. From this consideration, we review the uses of the terms barbarian and barbarism in these poems, analyzing their complexity and the intrinsic tensions between the significant tradition of these concepts and the perceptions of the conflict that the authors projected in their works.

Considering that he had this book in his library, we will examine the different levels of influence of Castiglione’s work, especially the translation into Spanish by the poet Juan Boscán. This study will address not only the importance of the translator, but also the significance of a piece that brought together all the ideals of the Renaissance: the perfect courtier’s form, style and attitude are omnipresent in Inca Garcilaso’s work and life.

• Luther in the «Cortes de la Muerte»: Representing Heresy in the Spanish Theatre of the Sixteenth Century

  J. Corradine

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

  
  

  Abstract

  Taking into account the presence of Luther and Lutherans in the Cortes de la Muerte, the Farsa militar by Diego Sánchez de Badajoz and some plays from the Códice de autos viejos, we analize the figure of the heresiarch and the heretic in the Spanish theatre of the mid-sixteenth century. This issue brings us to the question of the origin of the sacramental drama as an antiprotestant reaction. In the second half of this article we present a hypothesis about the extend of participation in the Cortes of the two writers  (Miguel de Carvajal and Hurtado de Toledo), based on the different spiritual traditions found in the text.

  Abstract

  The autghor of this article analyse the influence of the work of the Millenarian Joaquin Da Fiore, Ramon Llull and Arias Montano on the composition of Christian Rhetoric by Diego Valadés. From the first of these writers, the author takes the notion of the era of the Holy Spirit; from the second, the concept of the Earthly City, for conquering the Indians; from the third, an idea for an engraving of significance in Valadés’ book, namely, the convent atrium. Additionally, he also take into account the idea of restitutio and reductio ad unum, with which both the mission of his Franciscan order and that of the Spanish monarchy are justified.
