In search of a forgotten Spanish incunabulum: the Panegyricum in laudem Serenissimorum Regum Hispaniae Fernandi et Hellysabeth of Gaspare Manio de Clodiis (Sevilla, ca. 1492
Abstract
In this article we edit, translate and annotate a Panegyricum in laudem Serenissimorum Regum Hispaniae Fernandi et Hellysabeth dedicated to the military and political achievements of the Catholic Monarchs, composed by the Italian humanist Gaspare Manio de Clodiis. The poem, written in hexameters, was printed in Seville around 1492. The only recorded copy of the Panegyricum is kept in a Scottish private library, and is not accessible for the moment. However, the text can be known through a handwritten copy that has to date been wrongly catalogued (ms. 1530 from the Library of the University of Salamanca). The article provides all available data about the author, the incunabulum and the manuscript. Likewise, it sets composition in the literary and propagandistic context of the time
