Lexicography Elio Antonio de Nebrija's influence on philology and biblical studies extended well beyond his lifetime. This paper explores how his annotations to the Vulgate, compiled in the Tertia quinquagena (1516), were incorporated -often without attribution- into succes sive editions of the widely circulated Vocabularium seu lexicon ecclesiasticum by Rodrigo Fern & aacute;ndez de Santaella and later editors, from 1556 to the late 18th century. The study focuses on the chronology and mechanisms of this reception, highlighting the roles of Eustaquio Cervantes de Morales and Diego Jim & eacute;nez Arias, who disseminated Nebrija's annotations within the vernacular sacred lexicography of post-Tridentine Spain.
The objective of this article is to analyze comparatively and from a historiographical and philological perspective the relationship between Italian humanists and chroniclers of the Indies. We will focus on the influence that the works of the Milanese Pedro M & aacute;rtir de Angler & iacute;a and Paolo Giovio had on two of the most influential authors of the 16th century: Gonzalo Fern & aacute;ndez de Oviedo and Francisco L & oacute;pez de G & oacute;mara. In this work we will unravel the historiographic methods and models of these authors, we will analyze the anti-Italian feeling that fueled their works and we will explore the collective and heterogeneous dimension of his works, a link between the historiography of the Renaissance and the New Spain chronicle.
The aim of this article is to explore the presence of theatre -especially that written in Castilian- in the female convents of northern Portugal during the seventeenth century. To this end, three nunneries of the Order of Saint Clare are examined. First, the paper presents an unpublished bilingual entrem & eacute;s in Castilian and Portuguese, written by a priest after a detailed script by B & aacute;rbora Pereira, a nun in the convent of S & atilde;o Francisco of Vale de Pereiras (Ponte de Lima). Next, it discusses a loa and a series of redondillas by Jer & oacute;nimo Baia, which reveal a staging of Lope de Vega's La humildad y la soberbia at Santa Clara of Vila do Conde, as well as the existence of other para-theatrical practices related to the Corpus Christi processions. Finally, attention is paid to a performance of Calder & oacute;n's Amado y aborrecido at Santa Clara of Oporto, preceded by an anonymous loa. This confirms the significance not only of Baroque theatre, but also of the Spanish-Portuguese literary exchange amongst the nuns of this region, as part of an Iberian interliterary community.
The "letter" sent by Maximilianus Transylvanus, Charles V's personal secretary, to the Cardinal-Archbishop of Salzburg Matthaus Lang von Wellenburg, was the first published narrative of the circumnavigation of the world and, as such, constitutes one of the bases of all historiography on that subject. Transylvanus claims that his account is a genuine transcription of the testimonies and documents provided by the protagonists of the journey, but this is not true. That's what we will demonstrate throughout this article. To do so, we will study both the sender and the receiver of the letter, as well as the circumstances in which it was written, printed and disseminated throughout Europe. We will also compare the testimonies, documents and stories that have come down to us about the expedition with the Transylvanus narrative, checking both the coincidences and significant differences, and we will analyze these differences in search of the reasons why they arose. The conclusion is that the imperial secretary skillfully modified the testimonies and documentation to create an account of what happened in the expedition in the service of the interests ofhis lord Charles V, the House ofBurgundy-Habsburg and his imperial project.
This article explores the modernization of literary biography, focusing on how writers' lives were portrayed. To understand this transformation, I compare the views on biography and poets' lives in the works of Juan Jose Lopez de Sedano (1729-1801) and Samuel Johnson (1709-1784). The analysis of their texts reveals significant shifts in the purpose and structure of literary biography. While some changes are similar in both cases, others differ, but they can be grouped into three key areas: the integration of poets' lives into literary historiography, the adaptation of biography to scholarly principles, and the rise of biographical criticism. However, both authors' works also show that many traditional forms and approaches to biography remained in use well into the 18th century, highlighting that the modernization of literary biography was a slow and gradual process.
