The handbook of Greek Literature by Salvador Costanzo (1860): a singularity in the 19th Century Hispanic Historiography.
Abstract
After a brief state of the matter and a succinct biographical sketch of Salvador Costanzo, we analyze his handbook of Greek literature (1860), inspired by the Franz Ficker's handbook, but which provides its own characteristics and features, such as translations, critical judgments and literary reports that do not appear in other handbooks and, above all, two unexpected chapters in this kind of works, those dedicated to Christian Greek and Neo-Hellenic literatures. These peculiarities allow us to understand Costanzo's handbook as an authored work in the anodyne context of historiography of Greek literature in Spain at the time.
