Textual transmission and critical edition of four unpublished poems of the Sevillian incunable of Fernán Pérez de Guzmán (92PG)

Abstract

Although numerous studies on the work of Fernán Pérez de Guzmán have been carried out over the past decades, there is still a long way to go toward producing a comprehensive map of the transmission of his poetic work in both its manuscript and printed traditions. In this regard, it is essential to examine the place occupied by the Sevillian incunable of his Coplas (92PG), an edition that would establish the author’s late canon and inaugurate a lineage of printed editions that would continue to be produced until 1566. This article seeks to shed light on this issue through the study of the textual transmission and the critical edition of four works contained therein: the Ejemplo de bien vivir, the Pater noster, the Ave Maria, and the Himno a los gozos de Nuestra Señora
