The first Spanish edition of Pro Archia by Francisco Cervantes Salazar (Seville 1544): approaching study and possible models
Abstract
This very scarcely known edition and comment, whose only preserved copy is in University Library of Salamanca, is studied in this paper, paying special attention to the possible textual models from the Ciceronian printed text transmission. The work includes several meaningful paratexts, particularly some prefaces and the comment, whose models -only partially known- I have tried to reveal. This edition demonstrates a good knowledge of Cicero’s speech and works concerning it so far published. The analysis of printed text tradition taken from earlier years has allowed me to identify main features of textual form in this edition whose most immediate source is the Pro Archia text and comment by F. Dubois (Paris 1530), but also from some other sources as Melanchthon, Latomus, Bolerus and others.
