Alberto Gutiérrez Gil, Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla y la comedia palatina, New York, IDEA, 2023.3.

ISBN: 978-1-952399-16-9

Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla y la comedia palatina is the result of the research that began in 2011 with my doctoral thesis on the palatine corpus of the Toledo playwright, one of the most praised followers of the Calderonian trail. Critics had focused, preeminently, on his cloak-and-dagger comedies and his tragic production; however, until now there had been no comprehensive volume analyzing the peculiarities of the comic subgenre of Palatine comedy within his creations. After an update of the considerations about the limits of this genre so productive in the golden theater and the fixation of the rojiano corpus, we analyze a total of eleven titles in the light of four features that identify it: the spatial and temporal distancing of the narrated events, the nature of its main characters, the spaces of the action and its main thematic axes. All of them contribute, as will be seen in the study, to the search for an original product that stands out for its literary and ideological quality and that, consequently, would have been well received by the public attending the corrales.

Alberto Gutiérrez Gil, Associate Professor at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, is graduate in Philology Hispánica and PhD in "programs of study Filológicos". His specialization program is the theater of the Golden Age, especially the palatine comedy of the Calderonian generation, with greater incidence in the figures of Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla and Antonio Enríquez Gómez. He is a member of the Almagro Institute of Classical Theater and of group of research in Spanish Classical Theater (GITCE). His publications include articles in specialized journals and book chapters and, above all, critical editions of several titles by the aforementioned playwrights. He currently combines the purely philological programs of study with more didactic aspects in the area of the language and Spanish Literature.

The ten essays examine authors and works corresponding to different artistic manifestations, which are offered to the reader as watchtowers or privileged points of view to be able to evaluate in their complexity the proposed topic .

Epidemics and diseases, the resulting crises and their cures are constant episodes faced by human societies. Although the programs of study linked to health policies already have a long and productive relationship with the Humanities, little has been contributed in the specific field of the programs of study of the Golden Age with an interdisciplinary view. The project "Enfermedades y epidemias en el mundo hispánico del Siglo de Oro. Realidades médicas y percepciones sociales en el Perú virreinal" (VRI-UP), from the Office of the Vice President for Research of the Universidad del Pacífico (Peru), underlines the importance of applying traditional methods for seventeenth-century texts to the complex social fabric of the Peruvian viceroyalty. The fundamental goal was the recovery of some textual materials of the Golden Age in the New World related to epidemics and epidemic diseases, mainly measles and diphtheria, since in order to base the historical, sociological or medical history programs of study , it is indispensable to have guarantee editions of the texts, which include medical and moral treatises, reports of events and other literary works. In this volume, the treatise by Francisco de Figueroa on "el garrotillo o esquilencia mortal" (1615); and the speech de la enfermedad sarampión experimentada en la Ciudad de los Reyes del Perú (1694) by Francisco de Bermejo y Roldán are published in a critically reliable condition, with programs of study and the corresponding annotation.

Artistic Inheritances and Rewritings (from the Age average to the XX-XXI centuries) presents a set of critical works on the question of rewriting. This theme is studied, more specifically, from a transcultural, transhistorical and transmedial point of view. The creations analyzed here belong to the Caribbean, French-speaking and Hispanic areas; moreover, they highlight the aesthetic and ethical processes resulting from the transhistorical dialogue (from the Age average to the 21st century) and transmedial (hybridization of some rewritings). The book proposes programs of study on Goya in the contemporary Spanish novel and cinema, on Simone Leigh's Las Menines (2018) and on the mystical tradition in José Ángel Valente. Works on Calderonian motifs in Ernesto Caballero's latest theater and on Manuel Iribarren's Letras are added, along with reflections on Rojas Zorrilla's Donde hay agravios no hay celos (Where there are grievances there is no jealousy ). Also included is an analysis of La judía de Toledo or Alfonso VIII by Eusebio Asquerino and another related to the interartiality of El caballero de Olmedo from the Festival of Avignon. The volume is completed by a contribution dedicated to Lourdes Ortiz and the feminine rewriting of a classical myth: Fedra (1984) and a study on the rewriting of the Bible in David combattant, by Louis de Masasse.

Almost all the articles published here coincide in having at their base one or more sheets preserved in the Library Services University of Geneva. It is not often that works on the history of literature take into account both permanence and mobility; nor that an attempt is made to trace and document the presence of these characteristics, almost antithetical, at different moments of a literature collected in single sheets, as the programs of study gathered here do. Let us hope that the sixteen programs of study published in this book are as many swallows, of paper and ink, heralding a springtime of the research on string literature, at once legible, visible, audible, representable, singable and danceable.

The Spanish Golden Age -its outstanding works, its themes and characters, and even its authors themselves: writers, painters, etc.- has known numerous recreations throughout the centuries, in different arts and in various genres, with approaches of all kinds and with the most diverse intentions. It could be said without fear of contradiction that such a tendency to recreate has been particularly intense in recent years, in formats that are not only the traditional ones in literature (novels, theater, poetry, essay...) and in other arts (music, cinema, television, comics and graphic novels ...), but also in other more modern territories such as manga and anime, advertising, video games, and even the Internet, social networks and other virtual spaces related to the unstoppable development in our days of new technologies. Of course, the eight contributions that make up this volume -Re-creatingthe Golden Age: golden adaptations in literature and the arts-cannot cover such a complex panorama in all its vast extension; but we think that the different analyses offered here by its authors constitute a significant sample on the numerous possibilities that exist to re-create -that is, to re-create, not only to evoke- our splendid and exciting Spanish Golden Age.

Ignacio D. Arellano-Torres received his PhD from Stony Brook University with a thesis on literary travel in the literature of the Golden Age. He is currently Assistant Professor at the University of Lousiana at Monroe, where he combines his work professor with research.

The Jesuit Jerónimo Román de la Higuera (1537-1611) was a Toledan historian and professor who went down in posterity as one of the greatest forgers of Spanish historiography, for having produced a series of "false chronicles" in Latin attributed to various authors of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages average. However, we know today that this author also dedicated part of his life to composing a B number of poems and at least two dramatic works that were never published. This volume presents for the first time one of these unpublished plays entitled Novum Ver (New Spring), written around 1593 and preserved in the archives of the Royal Academy of History (Madrid). It is one of the many plays that were composed in the different schools of the Society of Jesus on the framework of some festivity, to be performed by their students, in this case the members of the Congregation of the Anunciata of the high school of Madrid.

ISBN: 978-1-952399-07-7

In the Spain of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, daily existence was often reduced to surviving in bad ways. Those were good times for extraordinary men and women with an adventurous spirit. From those who decided one fine day to board a ship and travel the ocean in search of the riches and honor denied them by the mother country, who arrived in the newly discovered Indies in meager handfuls, to those who fought hand to hand in the different war scenarios of Europe, with the inexhaustible arrogance of those who had nothing to lose, and who often fought in pitiful conditions, without adequate supplies and plagued by hunger and thirst. But also the futility of common life in the Golden Age made existence itself a daily adventure, full of trades and affairs that today seem to our eyes just as extraordinary. This volume, which brings together contributions from various specialists in Golden Age literature, aims to pay a well-deserved tribute to these free spirits, authentic adventurers of that era.

ISBN: 978-1-952399-02-2

The works gathered in "Ni distancias que estorben, ni mares que impidan": globalización y la temprana modernidad hispánica seek to bring to light the links that unite the Hispanic world of the 16th and 17th centuries, considering, in fact, inevitable linguistic, social or even racial tensions of the time, around themes such as authority, the literary language , honor, religion, etc. In short, this collection of programs of study aims to establish a dialogue with the usual colonialist criticism and the old-fashioned prejudices of certain peninsular critics through a global perspective: a thorough understanding of early modernity as an integrated whole, which was known at the time as the Hispanic monarchy. This philological approach intends to leave aside extemporaneous readings and old ideological barriers around the texts addressed.

In addition to the philological edition of the dramatic text, it includes a study of the trajectory publishing house of the stamp in which it was published, the Galcerín family, a family of printers at the service of the interests of the Crown.

Santas, poderosas y pecadoras: representación y realidad de las mujeres entre los siglos XVI y XIX, brings together eighteen contributions in which the analysis of the feminine speech in the centuries of Modernity in the peninsular and American sphere is approached from disciplines such as Literature, Linguistics, History, Art or Thought. The reader will be able to contemplate a wide variety of female types described in the imaginary and recreating sentences or verses of dramas, comedies and poems, or reworked from the historical experiences of real characters. Thus transgressive women, saints and saintesses, queens, scholars, prostitutes, admired, satirized or hated women, real or imaginary, sometimes stereotypes, who live and survive their time, make their presence felt. The contributions of these specialists, with the female subject in perspective, stimulate a better understanding of the social reality of past centuries, regardless of anachronisms.

Martina Vinatea, The "speech in praise of poetry": a declaration of principles of the poets of the New World, New York, IDEA, 2021.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-50-3

The speech en loor de la poesía, an anonymous paratext that prefaces the Primera parte del Parnaso antártico de obras amatorias, by Diego Mexía de Fernangil (1608), is an exponent of the group of poems aimed at praising and defending poetry from those who do not consider the importance of their empire. This defence is made on behalf of a group of authors who, in the last decade of the 16th century and the first two decades of the 17th century, carried out their literary work and formed the so-called Academia Antártica.

The speech is an attempt to reflect on the act of writing poetry with two important additions: the art of writing poetry in the New World, specifically in Peru, and the art of writing by the feminine hand. It is also clearly an attempt to establish a new canon which is beginning to be built in the New World and which is based on the appropriation of classical models by American writers. The speech should be seen as a more ambitious poem than the mere introduction to Mexía's translation. In fact, it is a work that is linked to the foundation of the American Creole project .

The American continent, during the modern era, was a woman. Letrados of the 16th and 17th centuries imagined it as an untamed Amazon surrounded by wild fauna. And, above all, anthropophagous. She was the antithesis of the Christian city, where idolatry reigned. It was then that the viceroyalties established a new humanity, where the woman was more than the soldier's companion. The wombs of American women gestated the life of the lineages which, since the 17th century, have renewed the pact with which America is linked to the rest of the world. This volume reviews the symbolic categories with which the female body was thought of and, above all, contributes two programs of study which, from biography, trace the coordinates of the sphere of action of women who, from apparent anonymity, exerted their influence on literate culture and the political sphere.

Raúl Marrero-Fente, Obra nuevamente compuesta... de Bartolomé de Flores (1571). First Hispanic poem in the United States, New York, IDEA, 2021.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-81-7

This book presents a study and critical edition of the poem Obra nuevamente compuesta... (1571) by Bartolomé de Flores, considered the first poem in Spanish about North America and the only poetic testimony to Pedro Menéndez de Avilés's victory over the French Huguenots in Florida in 1565. The poem offers one of the earliest poetic descriptions of nature and Native Americans in the 16th century. The formal characteristics of the work, which belongs to the literary genre of verse accounts of events printed on sheets of string, are examined. A close reading of the poem is also made in order to understand its importance in the history of 16th-century colonial poetry. Finally, it includes a facsimile reproduction of the only known copy of the work, preserved in the John Carter Brown Library.

Raúl Marrero-Fente is Full Professor of Hispanic Literatures and Law at the University of Minnesota and a corresponding member of the North American Academy of Spanish language .

Rosa Perelmuter (ed.), The Literary Reception of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz: A Century of Critical Appraisals (1910-2010), New York, IDEA, 2021.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-69-5

The present volume has been prepared thanks to the partnership of thirteen scholars who accepted the task of dealing with the literary reception of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz during a century of commentaries (1910-2010). For each of the decades in our volume, the contributors have had as their goal aim to go through in detail - albeit with admitted subjectivity - the critical production during their decade and thus avoid the subject of generalisations that a more comprehensive view would perhaps elicit. The result has been a collection of essays which bear the individual stamp of each researcher, but which in any case offer different approaches to the paradigms of reading Sorjuan's work. In these chapters the reader will find both the essays and the bibliographies for each decade. The latter, prepared by the diligent bibliographer Luis Villar, allow us to see as a whole all that was written about Sor Juana in that decade; the essays collect what the authors interpreted from that information, emphasizing the themes that seemed most relevant to them among the critical opinions of the particular decade. Our readers will thus be able to see the continuity of what Elías Trabulse already observed in 1975, that the twentieth century "has invented a variety of Sor Juanas, from the mystic, ascetic and beatific to the psychoneurotic; from the forerunner of Mexican nationalism to the emancipator of women and, finally, from the sum and compendium of the "multiform" and "magical" of Gongorine poetry to the prolific author whose writings -which could be said to be encyclopaedic- "filled the Hispanic world...."".

Rosa Perelmuter is Professor at department of Romance Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she specializes in the literature of the Spanish-American colonial period. She received her doctorate in Romance Languages from the University of Michigan. She has published widely on a range of writers from Christopher Columbus to Manuel Puig. She has two monographs on Sor Juana: Noche intelectual: La oscuridad idiomática en el "Primero sueño" (UNAM, 1982) and Los límites de la femineidad en Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz: Estrategias retóricas y recepción literaria (Iberoamericana / Vervuert, 2004).

ISBN: 978-1-938795-73-2

This volume of the Antología de la literatura burlesca del Siglo de Oro, undertaken in the framework of the project Identidades y alteridades. La burla como diversión y arma social en la literatura y cultura del Siglo de Oro (FFI2017-82532-P, MICINN/AEI/-FEDER, EU), is devoted to Burlas picarescas. The Spanish picaresque novel continues the humour of the buffoonish literature begun in Spain in the 15th century by poets such as Villasandino or Antón de Montoro, and continued in the early 16th century by the prose work of Villalobos or Don Francés de Zúñiga. From Lazarillo de Tormes onwards, the new genre appropriated the subject carnivalesque and demystifying humour of the literature of jesters to personify it in the rogue and his graces and misfortunes. In this volume we have attempted to present a wide-ranging anthology of mockery in various picaresque texts, some of which are well known: Lazarillo de Tormes, Guzmán de Alfarache and El Buscón; others are less widely read, but which contain amusing episodes of a comicality typical of European carnivals and courts: El Guitón Onofre, La pícara Justina, La segunda parte del Lazarillo by Juan de Luna, Teresa de Manzanares and El high school program Trapaza, by Castillo Solórzano, Lazarillo de Manzanares by Cortés de Tolosa, La desordenada codicia de los bienes ajenos by Carlos García, and, finally, the novel that closes the volume and the genre of the picaresque-bufonesque novel, the Estebanillo González.

Rebeca Lázaro Niso (ed.), Nuevos paradigmas para el estudio del teatro aurisecular, New York, IDEA, 2020.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-72-5

The proliferation of new technologies and other complementary aspects to their environment, developed since the end of the last century, have made it possible to approach the dramatic text from other less conventional and more novel perspectives within the Hispanic philological tradition. The different works that are collected in this volume are therefore intended to account for this innovative spirit through the consideration of new paradigms that approach the literary fact seen as an amalgam of elements that shed new light on the preponderance of the text and its adjacencies. The aim is, therefore, to present the reader with other forms of critical analysis which, by force, represent a new look within the panorama of the programs of study on the theatre of the Aurisecular period.

Rebeca Lázaro Niso, PhD in Philology , is a lecturer at the University of La Rioja. She is a specialist in Golden Age Literature, specifically in the dramaturgy of Álvaro Cubillo de Aragón.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-71-8

In the framework of the Antología de la literatura burlesca del Siglo de Oro (Anthology of the burlesque literature of the Golden Age), undertaken from the project Identidades y alteridades. La burla como diversión y arma social en la literatura y cultura del Siglo de Oro (FFI2017-82532-P, MICINN/AEI/FEDER, UE), this volume is devoted to materials that we can call indianos. This book is an attempt to disseminate some of the most important compositions and authors. It does not claim to be exhaustive or even to provide a basic systematic overview, but rather to show some representative texts in the sphere of the two great viceroyalties. For Peru, the poems of Caviedes and Ciego de la Merced and the prose texts taken from the chronicles of the Indies are a limited but significant example. For New Spain, the poetic anthology includes a version of the famous scatological opuscule by Quevedo dedicated to the last eye, a manifestation of the validity of a model like that of Don Francisco, which is also very perceptible in a poet like Caviedes.

Carlos F. Cabanillas Cárdenas, graduate from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and PhD from the University of Navarra, currently works as a professor and researcher at the Norwegian Arctic University in Tromsø. His fields of study are the literature of the Golden Age and, in particular, the work of the poet Juan del Valle y Caviedes, whose work he has edited and published several articles.

Celsa Carmen García Valdés (ed.), Antología de la literatura burlesca del Siglo de Oro, Entremeses de burlas, New York, IDEA, 2020....

ISBN: 978-1-938795-70-1

The present volume contains a set of entremeses - one of them unpublished - which, due to their special characteristics, are representative, within the gigantic world of entremeses, of a sub-genre: entremeses de burlas. The central motif of each of the twenty pieces selected is, precisely, a mockery, but it is not just any mockery: it has to be a witty mockery -wit is highly valued by the society of the time-; it has to have a purpose and carry it out; and it has to be inoffensive, eutrapelic. The anthology closes with two more pieces in which the structural mockery, while being ingenious and achieving its goal, does not fulfil the condition of not harming. Thus the reader can compare and see what the difference is between the entremeses de burlas and other entremeses that also contain mockery.

The first volume of the Antología de la literatura burlesca del Siglo de Oro, undertaken in the framework of the project Identidades y alteridades. La burla como diversión y arma social en la literatura y cultura del Siglo de Oro (FFI2017-82532-P MICINN/AEI, FEDER, UE), published by this collection Batihoja, was devoted to the three major names in Golden Age poetry, Lope, Góngora and Quevedo. This second volume includes a selection of those who can be called "seconderons", in relation to the first, and who in turn have a different category. More names could certainly be added; the poets of transatlantic Spain are not included here, as they will be included in a specific volume devoted to the burlesque poetry of the viceroyalties of the Indies. It is, therefore, one of many possible anthologies. However, the high Degree of codification of themes and expressive resources - the reiteration of many jokes, burlesque motifs and puns will be noted - makes this problem of selection less relevant than it might seem, since all these poems are highly representative of the genre. The main contribution of this volume consists in the annotation, which attempts to clarify for a lay reader the innumerable joking references, allusions and puns of all kinds subject.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-79-4

The Hispanic Society of America has a manuscript copy that must have been printed in Seville in 1621, but for some reason was never published. It is the Historia del Huérfano, by Andrés de León, a text that narrates in the third person the life of a young man from Granada. At only fourteen years of age, the Orphan embarks for the New World, beginning a series of adventures and misfortunes that will take him to South America and the Caribbean as well as to much of Spain and Italy. The story is spread over 328 pages and is accompanied by more than 100 poems that are attributed to the protagonist, but which may have been written by the author of the work. This volume offers a critical edition of the manuscript, accompanied by a rigorous apparatus of notes and an introductory study designed to facilitate understanding of the text.

Belinda Palacios holds a PhD in Colonial Hispanic Literature from the University of Geneva. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Geneva, where she has also been teaching courses and seminars on colonial and contemporary Hispanic American literature and an introduction to textual analysis since September 2014.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-68-8

En los márgenes del Siglo de Oro (On the Margins of the Golden Age ) aims, through fiction, to recover characters and issues that were left in that blank space on paper and have gone largely neglected: ignored women around consecrated subjects; writers who were left behind, for various reasons, in the current literary canon; as well as little-known episodes in the small history of those centuries, such as the sick galley slaves whom nobody, except a civil servant, took pity on or the forgotten lady who inspired a very famous literary character in her time. With diverse textual modalities, these eight stories are also an exercise in style that reworks the literary expression of the Golden Age, with its commonplaces, its lexicon and some of its narrative moulds.

Fernando Rodríguez Mansilla is an associate member of GRISO (group of research Siglo de Oro) and PEI (project programs of study Indianos).

ISBN: 978-1-938795-67-1

This is an important piece of 18th century Catalan lexicology, hitherto unstudied and, to a certain extent, forgotten. The Nou mètode, a work written by the Menorcan Antoni Portella in 1762 and republished in 1783, is surprising for its methodological content, following the dictates of Port-Royal. It is a work of unquestionable interest, which needed a critical edition and a study highlighting its linguistic, sociolinguistic and grammatical value, together with a comparative analysis of the two editions. Its publication was accompanied by controversy among the scholars of its time due to the fact that it was written in Catalan, contravening the dictates of the committee of Castile, and, at the same time, intended to enter skill with the methods in use in Mallorca. Hence the civil service examination to the Menorcan grammarian and his work, the fruit of a Menorca that was committed to the cultivation of the autochthonous language in all areas, outside the standardising process dictated by the Nueva Planta Decrees.

In the Arte nuevo de hacer comedias en este tiempo, Lope de Vega tackles, sometimes with cynical heartbreak, other times with enthusiasm and categoricalness, the complex dialectic relationship between artists and their audiences in the birth of modern theatre. The articles in this booklet attempt to sketch with methodological rigour the context in which this speech was born, its origin and significance, the academic framework in which it was conceived, its editorial vicissitudes, the precise scope of its degree scroll, its relations with other works by the author.... These preliminary questions are the curtain that rises to give way to the text, critically edited, with the variants of all the important testimonies.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-66-4

At the beginning of the 4th century, in the ancient Complutum, the young Christians Justo and Pastor, who soon became known as "the Holy Children", were martyred. Their cult spread little by little, but around the year 732, in times of Muslim domination, their relics were transferred to northern territories, finally ending up in the church of San Pedro el Viejo in Huesca. The people of Complutense would have to wait several centuries, until 1568 to be exact, to see the precious remains of the Holy Children on their soil once again. Alcalá celebrated the return of the relics in style. The festivities included the staging of two plays: the Representation of the martyrs Justo and Pastor written by Francisco de las Cuevas and an Auto del martirio de Sant Justo y Pastor by the master Alonso de Torres, which is perhaps - although it is not possible to say for sure - the second of the works that we publish here as anonymous, which has been preserved in the Codex of old plays. These are two important dramatic pieces not only for Alcalá de Henares, but also in the process of development of Spanish religious theatre in the second half of the 16th century.

The universe of mockery in the Golden Age offers many complications and difficulties to the reader and the scholar.

La burla como diversión y arma social en la literatura y cultura del Siglo de Oro (FFI2017-82532-P MICINN/AEI, FEDER, UE), in whose framework this volume has been prepared, which deals with the burlesque poems of the three major poets of the Baroque period: Lope de Vega, Góngora and Quevedo. To them we owe the three fundamental poetic repertoires of the period: the Rimas humanas y divinas del graduate Tomé de Burguillos by Lope, the Chacón manuscript of Góngora's poems and the edition of Quevedo's El Parnaso español by José González de Salas. From these three essential sources, we have chosen a series of poems characterised by the burlesque approach , abundant in mockery and with an intense satirical component, as in the internship it is impossible to separate these sides of jocoseria literature, all mixed with mockery and truth, not to mention the fact that mockery is not in itself alien to truth.

Travellers to the New World analyses the integration strategies of foreigners living in Lima in the years 1590-1640. This question is interesting because foreigners, according to the law, agreement , were forbidden to travel to the Indies, let alone trade with them, unless they had obtained a carta de vecindad or naturaleza, or through a royal licence that enabled them to make the journey. The analysis of the notarial deeds reveals not only the presence of foreigners in the social composition of Lima, but also their active participation in the social dynamics of the city. The marriage strategy with a native of the kingdom, the acquisition of real estate, the links created with the city's religious and health institutions, the exercise of a certain profession or official document without any prohibition, and the use of goods or objects common to those used by other Limeños, without signs of a particular excluding identity, are data that suggest - from the social internship - that they lived integrated.

It includes, as the ultimate human expression of evil, the Antichrist, or the very example of betrayal represented by the New Testament character Judas Iscariot, the fatal instrument that facilitated the capture and subsequent Crucifixion of Christ. Not to be missed, as might be expected, is the devil, with his various facets of evil-doer and somewhat mocking character. Through the story of the unfortunate Tamar, as told by Tirso, the role of the evil brother, Amon, is studied against the beautiful Absalom, defender of family honour, and how the love affairs (in various forms) found in the Bible were received theatrically. Also, and in relation to the previous story, ambiguous characters are evoked, such as King David, both Israelite hero and fallible, sinful and punished monarch. The volume also presents an extensive essay on the notion of the good king and the bad king. It is, in short, a set of programs of study that delves into the function and scope of a wide variety of biblical characters present in Aurisecular literature.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-61-9

One of the issues that has attracted the most attention in Americanist criticism has been the role played by the European imaginary in constructing in America a chimerical continent that brought together a large part of the hopes and fears of the old world, as well as its projects of colonial domination. Such is the influence of this current that there is hardly a study of importance, from Todorov's classic to recent imagological works, that does not pick up on it and examine how Europeans invented America or (and perhaps here is the most important development of recent years) how Americans adopted and modified this invention to further their own interests. This volume, The Writing of American Territory, examines this series of European chimeras in their interaction with American reality and across various literary (the travel or merit account, the chronicle, the chorography, the comic theatre, the Philosophy, etc.) and artistic (mural painting) genres.

Carlos Mata Induráin, Senior Associate Professor , is researcher and Secretary of GRISO (University of Navarra) and IDEA. His research focuses on the Spanish Golden Age: burlesque comedy, autos sacramentales, Cervantes, Lope or Calderón, among other authors.

The goal of congress was to present the renewed state of the art on the Persiles. The fifteen articles offered here reveal this vitality of Cervantes' literary testament within the current research . Another selection of works presented at congress is collected in a monographic section of Hipogrifo. Revista de literatura y cultura del Siglo de Oro (7.1, 2019), accessible online.

Antonio Sigler de Huerta, No hay bien sin ajeno daño. Las doncellas de Madrid, introductory study and critical edition by Luisa Roselló Castillo, New York, IDEA, 2018. 

ISBN: 978-1-938795-39-8. 

Antonio Sigler de Huerta is a secondary author whose life and work have received little attention from critics, which is why his theatrical production has gone virtually unnoticed. However, he did enjoy a certain amount of recognition in his time (not only did he participate in various academies, but he was also praised by Montalbán and Lope de Vega, which, however, did not prevent him from being the target of Calderón's acid sonnets) and his comedies contain some notable successes. Thus, a knowledge of his life and work allows us to understand more accurately the literary panorama of the Golden Age and the relationships of friendship or enmity that were established between the playwrights of the time. This volume offers a study and a critical and annotated edition of two of his cloak-and-dagger comedies: No hay bien sin ajeno daño and Las doncellas de Madrid.

Luisa Rosselló Castillo, PhD in Hispanic Philology (award Extraordinary of doctorate), is a collaborator of high school of programs of study Hispanics in Modernity (IEHM) of the University of the Balearic Islands.

Delia Gavela García (ed.), Escenarios en conflicto en el teatro bíblico áureo, New York, IDEA, 2018. 

ISBN: 978-1-938795-54-1. 

This volume brings together eleven works by research related to the conflict as a literary motif, but also as a reflection of a complex social-historical reality, that of 17th century Spain, which had religion as one of its main backbones and theatre as one of the most universal and socially influential forms of entertainment. The authors, all of them renowned specialists in golden drama (Tatiana Alvarado Teodorika, María Rosa Álvarez Sellers, Piedad Bolaños Donoso, Enrica Cancelliere, Francisco Domínguez Matito, Alfredo Rodríguez López-Vázquez and Marcella Trambaioli), the history of religions (Ruth Fine and Francisco Peña Fernández), literature written in Latin (Teresa Jiménez Calvente) and contemporary theatre (María Isabel Martínez López) have approached the biblical source and its protagonists (Jael, Rachel, Abraham, Jonah, etc.) to analyse their presence in the biblical comedy (Jael, Rachel, Abraham, Jonah, etc.).) to analyse their presence in the golden comedy, in its antecedents and in its later sequels, through the analysis of various works and authors, in order to highlight the multiple perspectives and scenarios from which the biblical conflict can be approached.

Delia Gavela García is Senior Lecturer at the University of La Rioja. She has previously taught at the UAM, Carleton University (Canada) and the UIMP, and has been a visiting professor at the University of Rome-La Sapienza and the University of Toulouse-Le Mirail.

Enea Silvio Piccolomini (Pius II), Treatise on the Misery of Courtiers (Translation by Diego López de Cortegana), critical edition, introduction and notes by Nieves Algaba, New York, IDEA, 2018.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-48-0.

This book publishes the translation into Spanish of De curialium miseriis, one of the most acidic works by Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who was pope under the name of Pius II from 1458 to 1464. It is a text (translated by Diego López de Cortegana as Tratado de la miseria de los cortesanos and published in Seville, 1520) which should be included among the works on "court contempt and village praise" which had such an impact during the first half of the 16th century and which, in part, emerged in the heat of Erasmus' ideas. But if there is one thing that makes this treatise stand out, it is the way in which Piccolomini combines the continuous recourse to classical and contemporary authorities (mainly Juvenal and Poggio Bracciolini) with his own experience as a courtier. And it is here that a satire emerges, which, underpinned by a sometimes scatological realism, makes for pages of enjoyable reading.

Nieves Algaba holds a PhD in Philology Hispánica from the Complutense University of Madrid. She is currently working professor at the Pontificia Comillas and UNIR universities and at the UCEAP programme of the University of California, based at the Complutense University. Although his field of specialization focuses on the study of the 15th and 16th centuries, and particularly on Spanish-Italian relations, he has published books and articles on Lope de Vega, contemporary authors and the special cultural crossroads of the late 19th century.

Rafaèle Audoubert, Aurélie Griffin et Morgane Kappès-Le Moing (eds.), La poésie d'exil en Europe aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles, New York, IDEA, 2018. 

ISBN: 978-1-938795-47-3.

If exile in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, a period of great change, has been studied in depth, the same is not true of the modern period. The very notion is problematic: is it possible to speak of exile in the 16th and 17th centuries, is there a definition of exile specific to this period, what are the possible commonalities, the possible differences between geographical and linguistic areas (Spain, England, Italy, the Netherlands)? One may also wonder what form exile takes when it becomes poetic. Indeed, poetry, the privileged means of expression of the "I", implies an emotional density not found in other genres of exile writing. Thanks to its codified character, poetry can favour the aestheticisation of the world to be abandoned or, on the contrary, that of the place of exile. Is there a poetry of exile, recurrent figures or motifs? Can the choice of this noble genre be seen as a possibility of compensating for the failure of exile?

Rafaèle Audoubert, professor at the Université de Saint-Étienne (Université de Lyon, France), devoted her thesis doctoral thesis to Quevedo's moral poetry, and her work focuses on Quevedo's work and its links with Spanish politics in the Golden Age. She has also researched other aspects of aurisecular poetry, translations, letters and the circulation of texts in early modern Europe.

Martina Vinatea, "Fundación y grandezas de la muy noble y muy leal ciudad de los Reyes de Lima", by Rodrigo de Valdés, New York, IDEA, 2018. 

ISBN: 978-1-938795-46-6.

Lima, the most important city in South America from the beginning of the 17th century, is described in Fundación y grandezas de la muy noble y muy leal Ciudad de los Reyes (Foundation and Grandeurs of the Most Noble and Most Loyal City of the Kings) by means of a speech that seeks to appropriate space and time and marks continuity with the European tradition. It is exalted for its splendour and designated as a new Rome, a translatio imperii, because it quickly became a rich and complex city, a political and commercial centre of great importance and a monumental Baroque city, where religious buildings take on special importance. The Jesuit Rodrigo de Valdés described Lima in this way, because the Creole speech needed to construct an idea of the New World as an extension of Spain, the seat of power of the largest empire in Christendom. This construction had to be expressed in a mythical founding story that would make it possible to establish the New World as a paradigm within the system of representations established by the imperial imaginary and consolidate a symbolic image of Lima and a Creole mythography. Thus, the poem by Father Valdés should be seen as a text centred on the foundation itself, with two central figures as its framework: Pizarro and Santa Rosa de Lima. The two characters are recognised as the paradigms that sustain the empire: courage in the struggle combined with the desire to conquer and sanctity. Francisco Pizarro, hero of the conquest, is presented as a centaur, a viracocha and as a vehicle for the establishment of the myth of Lima as the garden of Eden where Isabel Flores de Oliva, the Dominican tertiary, the first saint of the New World who protects the city from civil discord, plagues and pirates, the unifying symbol of a fragmented society, will be born.

Martina Vinatea, PhD in Hispanic Philology and PhD in History, is Senior Lecturer at the Universidad del Pacífico (Lima, Peru) and Co-Director of the Centro de programs of study Indianos (CEI) / project programs of study Indianos (PEI) of the University of Navarra and the Universidad del Pacífico.

Beatrice Garzelli, Translating the Golden Age: Quevedo and His Contemporaries, New York, IDEA, 2018.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-44-2.

This volume studies the translation -whether intersemiotic or interlinguistic- of literary texts from the Golden Age, especially those of Francisco de Quevedo, together with works by Carlos García and Baltasar Gracián. The book allows a careful reflection on the fact of translation in its various manifestations, commenting - in the passage from Spanish to Italian - on the mechanisms of compensation for some losses, thanks to linguistic negotiation. This pathway highlights the figure of the translator of Spanish texts from the Golden Age, whose role has only recently come to be recognised, and whose work is essential to grasp the author's thought and decipher the Baroque doctrine of difficulty. If, on the one hand, Italian translation constitutes a relevant critical contribution to literary texts of great attraction and complexity, on the other hand, it offers a wide public of Italian speakers, not Hispanists, the opportunity to get to know extraordinary authors who would otherwise be almost completely ignored.

Beatrice Garzelli is Professor of language and Spanish Translation at the Università per Stranieri di Siena where she is Director of the Linguistic Centre and Vice-Director of department.

This volume brings together thirteen pieces that form part of the corpus of courtly and sacramental loas of the Golden Age, which is perhaps the least known of the genre. They are works that manifest, at various levels and dimensions, concerns related to the topic of authority and power, which are offered here in reliable and conveniently annotated texts. Brief commentaries (on the authors and their context, data of representation, plot outlines, metrics, etc.) accompany the editions, which have been written by various specialists (Ignacio Arellano, J. Enrique Duarte, Judith Farré Vidal, Carlos Mata Induráin, Tonina Paba, José Antonio Rodríguez Garrido, Enrique Rull, Leonardo Sancho, Ana Suárez Miramón and Martina Vinatea). First the peninsular loas (Rojas Villandrando, Calderón de la Barca, Bances Candamo and Zamora) are collected, followed by one from Sardinia (Delitala and Castelví) and, finally, the American loas (Sor Juana, Llamosas and Peralta Barnuevo) are added.

ISBN: 978-1- 938795-37- 4.

The epistolary De imitatione ( c. 1515) is a set of three letters in Latin signed by two of the leading humanists of the Renaissance and a text of paramount importance insofar as it became the programmatic text of the theory of the uniquemodel . The De imitatione is the direct antecedent of Bembo's Prose della volgar lingua, which would codify the Italian literary language and Petrarchism of the 16th century and, as such, is the linchpin necessary to fully understand one of the works core topic of the Renaissance. This edition includes the first Spanish translation of the epistolary, as well as a study of its impact both on the Latin letters from which it emerged and on the vulgar letters of Italy and Spain to which it spread. Its publication makes it possible to recover an essential text for understanding the Renaissance literary canon. It also has the advantage of including the third letter, considered lost for centuries, which is presented, together with the other two, duly annotated and translated into Spanish for the first time.

Bartolomé Jiménez Patón, Discursos (de calamidades, cruces y herejes), ed. González Maya, New York, IDEA, 2017.

ISBN: 978-1- 938795-35- 0.

This volume presents three very little studied and edited discourses by the famous humanist from La Mancha, Jiménez Patón. The one on the Cross and the one on the Statutes of Cleanliness have never seen the light of day, so their reading will be of great interest to the specialised reader. Together with the speech on the plagues of locusts, they present a set of short works centred on a series of moral questions anchored in his most immediate reality, which characterised the Patón of his last years, already far removed from his philological programs of study . This interest in the times in which he lived and his particular religious obsession with the placement of the image of the holy cross, with the sins of men, which caused the coming of the plagues of locusts, and with the ambitions of the so-called unmerited pretenders to positions of responsibility, define not only a man on guard against the enemies of the faith but also an entire society. It is worth noting, finally, Philip IV's edict on the irreverent uses of the cross only known from this book, and which we now edit and study.

Mariela Insúa and Jesús Menéndez Peláez (eds.), Viajeros, crónicas de Indias y épica colonial, New York, IDEA, 2017.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-36-7

This collective volume brings together a dozen works focusing on three thematic lines: the transatlantic voyages, the chronicles of the Indies and the colonial epic, which are approached from different critical and interdisciplinary perspectives. The analysis ranges from general aspects such as the need for a relevant philological annotation of the epic, the chronicles and other Indian texts, or the fundamental role of Columbus and Cortés in the configuration of the toponymy of the Indies, to the commentary on particular relationships such as that of Gaspar de Carvajal or the Infortunios of Alonso Ramírez de Sigüenza y Góngora. It also offers approaches to specific travellers such as Fray Miguel de Aguirre and the polemic Bartolomé de las Casas, and to specific issues such as the presence of the brigantine in the conquest and capture of Mexico. As for the epic genre in the American framework , interpretations are provided on the poem Vida de Santa Rosa de Oviedo y Herrera; the curious Poema heroico hispano latino de Rodrigo de Valdés or El Bernardo de Balbuena. The volume closes with a coda on travellers of Cervantes' lineage and their pilgrimages.

This volume brings together a series of programs of study that analyse the relationship between thought, in a broad sense, and literary work during the height of the Golden Age. The topics covered range from the symbolic value of certain animals in the work of Gracián; the vision of the Church held by a humanist of the stature of Bartolomé Jiménez Patón or his considerations on what we modernly call misogyny and homophobia; the relationship between power and politics in some of Lope de Vega's comedies and the background of the town of Illescas in two of his comedies, without forgetting some of the ideas of the Fénix on the monarchical institution.

Jaume Garau is Full Professor at the University of the Balearic Islands. He has specialized in the Spanish literature of the Golden Age. He has published several books and articles about the beginnings of literature in Spanish in Mallorca, as well as critical editions of Tirso de Molina, Torres Villarroel and Bartolomé Jiménez Patón.

Batihoja, 37. We offer here a study and edition of what was very probably the first newspaper in the Americas: the Diario de noticias sobresalientes en Lima and the Noticias de Europa, which were printed in the workshops of José de Contreras y Alvarado between 1700 and 1711 in the capital of the viceroyalty of Peru. This is material that has hitherto had little circulation among scholars of the Peruvian colonial world and which offers a wealth of information on events in Lima at the beginning of the 18th century and on the events that were shaking Europe at the same time. This first volume contains the first five years of Peruvian and European news, corresponding to the final stage of the viceregal government of the Count of Moncloa (1700-1705).

ISBN: 978-1-938795-32-9.

This book includes fourteen works that focus on the study of different colonial subjects who lived in the American viceroyalties between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. The approach of each one is diverse, as diverse were these subjects and also the different strategies they used, not only to find improvements within the colonial system but, in many cases, to claim an individual or collective identity. Some of these works also study the forms of representation (including their valuations) among the different groups of colonial subjects: peninsulars, Creoles, Indians, mulattos, maroons; and the discursive strategies (imitation, representation, rewriting) they used in their respective projects. The Inca Garcilaso de la Vega deserves attention in several of the programs of study . But there are also approaches to the figures of Alonso Enríquez de Guzmán, Titu Cusi Yupanqui, Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora, Juan de Espinosa Medrano, Juan del Valle y Caviedes and José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi, as well as other chroniclers and texts of the period.

Abraham Madroñal and Carlos Mata Induráin (eds.), El Parnaso de Cervantes y otros parnasos, New York, IDEA, 2017.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-12-1.

This book may seem heterogeneous and in fact it is, as its own degree scroll indicates: El Parnaso de Cervantes y otros parnasos. In vain will we look for a common thread between Cervantes' work and the other texts presented here, and yet we can speak of fortuitous coincidences. The most striking is undoubtedly the fact that the Voyage of Parnassus saw the light of day in 1614 and that just three hundred years later the catalogue of Édouard Favre's collection was published, work , an exemplary work carried out by Léopold Micheli. It is a collection of several thousand documents kept at the Library Services in Geneva, known until a few years ago as the Bibliothèque publique et universitaire (BPU), which dates back to 1556. Ten papers make up the contents of this volume: four of them are devoted to the work of Cervantes; five others are devoted to materials from the Geneva Library Services ; finally, another article focuses on historical aspects that explain how, at the end of the 19th century and in the early years of the following century, the magnificent Altamira collection was gradually dismantled, divided into several lots that were dispersed throughout Western Europe.

Abraham Madroñal is currently Full Professor at the University of Geneva and research scientist at the Center for Human Sciences of the CSIC.

Judith Farré (coord.), Antonio de Solís. Teatro breve, New York, IDEA, 2016.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-23-7.

This volume presents an edition of the short plays of Antonio de Solís, one of the poets of Calderón de la Barca's cycle who, despite sharing with the latter the title position of palace playwright, has aroused little interest among current literary historiography, to the point that his works still lack a complete critical edition from a neo-Lachmanian perspective. Because of his presence in the social and cultural world of the second half of the seventeenth century, and as a result of his intense participation in palace festivities, it is essential to begin the recovery of Solís's theatre insofar as it contributes to the mechanical stylisation of the cloak-and-dagger comedy and systematises certain features noted in Calderón. Solís's short plays, as a field of study of procedure and the compositional technique of his comedies as well as the dramaturgy of the late 17th century, also allows us to address other interdisciplinary issues such as court patronage, the professionalisation of the theatre and the evolution of comedy.

The edition of the short theatre of Antonio de Solís has been coordinated by Judith Farré Vidal. The team publisher was formed by Alain Bègue (Université de Poitiers), Judith Farré Vidal (committee Superior de Investigaciones Científicas), Dalia Hernández Reyes (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México), Adriana Ontiveros (Universidad Iberoamericana, México) and Josep Maria conference room Valldaura (Universitat de Lleida).

Alonso Ramos, Los prodigios de la omnipotencia y milagros de la gracia en la vida de la venerable servant of God, Catarina de San Juan (libros II, III y IV), ed. Robin Ann Rice, New York, IDEA, 2016.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-28-2.

Approved by the highest and most elite ecclesiastical hierarchs of late seventeenth-century New Spain, Los prodigios de la omnipotencia y milagros de la gracia en la vida de la venerable servant of God Catarina de San Juan exploited the evangelising docere, delectare, movere in the form of a hagiographical novel. True to the Ignatian fantastic, the text promotes the global success of the Jesuit apostolate through Catharine of St John's bilocations around the world, hyperbolic and pedestrian miracles, and supernatural interventions that became everyday occurrences. On the verge of being considered for beatification, the whole process came to a halt when the Jesuit author, Alonso Ramos, came under suspicion when he began to have problems with his own congregation but on an international level. The influential and celebrated Ramos spent the last 18 years of his life in prison and Catarina became a myth that survives to this day.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-27-5.

Hagiographies of nuns proliferated in the 17th century in New Spain, and the Jesuits were the champions of this subject of novelistic manifestations. Inspired by the authors' personal ambitions to cultivate holiness in unsuspected persons, the texts, part medieval exemplum , part fantastic novel, wove stories with excessive miracles and portentous acts only possible in a world living in the last paroxysms of Renaissance imagination, mystical exuberance and the intellectual technique of the Ignatian compositio loci. The Prodigies of Omnipotence and Miracles of Grace in the Life of the Venerable Servant of God Catharine of St John, written between 1689 and 1692, is the most voluminous and complicated compendium of all the hagiographical models of the time. It recorded how society experienced spirituality and at what Degree it was willing to believe in thaumaturgical events and people whose lived experiences went beyond the bounds of belief.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-24-4

Authority and power are universally valid themes, in all spheres, in all dimensions, and constitute an endless field of analysis. The Golden Age is, moreover, a privileged period, rich in reflections on power, from treatises on the art of good government to theological works; from political satire to the complex propaganda (not at all mechanical, despite the well-known theory of a scholar like Maravall) developed by the theatre. In the present pages, the reader will find a handful of enquiries that cover some of the infinite possible fields: conflicts between love, duty and power applied to a historical protagonist whose circumstances are subjected to the power of legend and artistic creation; the propagandistic power of theatre; the image of military power in the works of a playwright as universal as Calderón; models from the Bible transferred to the figures of power in theatre; analysis of specific plays that materialise different types of powerful and varied power conflicts...

ISBN: 978-1-938795-13-8

The Spanish Renaissance conceived rhetoric as an all-encompassing link between all the arts and sciences, a true regina artium. According to agreement with this idea, the scientific authors of that time consciously used rhetoric to link the specific knowledge of their discipline with the general categories of culture and Public discourse. This book analyses this process of mediation through a corpus of 24 prologues to mathematical treatises in Spanish language , texts which are included in the second part of the book.Felix K. E.

The Thirty Years' War was an international conflict in which Spain played a very important role, which has not always been highlighted. This is reflected in the numerous historical chronicles, accounts of events and literary works that, in print or in manuscript, dealt with the vicissitudes of that cruel confrontation. These texts not only described certain events, more or less heroic, more or less surprising, but also reflected the political ideas, religious sentiments and diplomatic attitudes of the protagonists and the actors involved. From the defenestration of Prague (1618) to the signature of the Peace of the Pyrenees (1659), the authors of such writings were busy narrating battles, describing heroes and traitors, telling us about miracles and astrological phenomena that seemed to influence the destiny of men, while at the same time they stopped to recount the endless negotiations that sought the longed-for peace in the midst of a Europe plunged into a war that seemed to have no end.

ISBN: 978-1-938795-20-6

Three short plays written by Joaquín de Oreamuno y Muñoz de la Trinidad were staged in the province of Costa Rica in January 1809. In colonial geography, the province belonged to the Old Kingdom of Guatemala, and the performance was part of a series of displays of loyalty to the Spanish monarchy. The three pieces respond to a large extent to the Aurisecular aesthetic and show a careful handling of style and spectacular elements. The present volume makes available to the public these short plays, written in the late colonial period, which show that the canon of Golden Age theatre had also reached the most distant province of the Old Kingdom of Guatemala.

This volume, which focuses on certain models of life in the Navarre of "early modernity", constitutes a partial node in a broader network of research being carried out by the GRISO (group de research Siglo de Oro) of the University of Navarre, from an interdisciplinary point of view, to analyse in their historical and cultural environment some notable Navarrese figures, representatives of certain "models of life", such as the saint, the adventurer, the intellectual, the writer, the member of the clergy or the poet, also tracing certain coordinates of professional life (midwives), social and political (manorial regime, structure of the insults....) and literary life. Although the scope is regional (Navarre), the importance of many of these figures or the representativeness of other aspects of social life give these approaches - we believe - wider values than those of a costumbrista or local investigation.

Alessandro Martinengo, Al margen de Quevedo. Paisajes naturales. Textual landscapes, New York, IDEA, 2015. ISBN: 978-1-938795-10-7.

This book aims to demonstrate how - starting from little studied documents concerning Quevedo, for example, the Letter-Brief of Pope Urban VIII (1625) or from apparently marginal works, such as the Judgement that the writer placed before the History of the unhappy prosperity of Felipa de Catánea, translated from the French by Juan Pablo Mártir Rizo (1625) - we achieve not only a new perspective on the vicissitudes of his mature period, but also a true specimen of his writing techniques.

Alessandro Martinengo has been Senior Associate Professor of Spanish-American Literature at the University of Pisa (1958-1963) and of Spanish Literature at the University of Trieste (1963-1969), and then Full Professor of Spanish Literature (1969-2003) at the University of Pisa. His publications deal with Spanish Romanticism - he has edited the edition of Espronceda's Poesías (1840), Barcelona, Octaedro, 2004 -, the literature of the geographical discoveries and the Spanish Baroque with several books dedicated to Quevedo, the last one entitled Quevedo, fronteras de la Philology. Con una mirada hacia Gracián (Pamplona, Eunsa, 2006).

The relationship established between history, the historical, the historical character and literature in its different forms is one of the most treated and fruitful elements since the beginnings of criticism and which has not yet been exhausted, as test this book shows. The authors of these works have reflected on how the writers of the Golden Age were able to somatise the historical elements that form part of the historical character into operative literary elements in the context of a work that are inserted into a baroque aesthetic, studying the way in which it is integrated into the literary part of the character.

Juan Manuel Gauger, Jesuit Authority and Universal Knowledge. La polémica cometaria entre Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora y Eusebio Francisco Kino, New York, IDEA, 2015. ISBN: 978-1-938795-05-3.

Jesuit authority and universal knowledgeisa new approach to the astronomical and philosophical Libra of Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora in the context of the polemic with Eusebio Francisco Kino and his astronomicalexhibition of the comet. In addition to situating both cometary treatises in the European and colonial astronomical tradition of the period, we study the main sources of the exhibitionto show that Kino, rather than refuting Sigüenza, was reproducing the arguments that two Bavarian colleagues had formulated to refute the hypothesis that comets were not involved in human misfortunes. Obsessed with asserting his American status, it was the Creole who found in the European missionary an ideal adversary with whom to compete intellectually. The greatest contribution of this study, however, lies not only in reinterpreting Kino's motivations and exposing Sigüenza's biased reading. By examining the bibliography of these treatises, the author proposes that the actors in the quarrel abused the argument of authority in order to affiliate themselves with the intellectual tradition of the Society of Jesus.

Juan Manuel Gauger is high school program at Humanities and graduate in Linguistics and Literature, with accredited specialization in Hispanic Literature, from the School de Letras y Ciencias Humanas of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú.

María Fernández López (Marcia Belisarda), Obra poética completa, ed. Martina Vinatea Recoba, New York, IDEA, 2015. ISBN: 978-1-938795-03-9.  

A manuscript, a pseudonym, a nun's name and a convent were the keys with which Martina Vinatea deciphered the enigma of Marcia Belisarda. For the first time, her Obra poética completa ( 1640) has been published, based on the manuscript preserved at the Library Services Nacional de España. Starting with the text itself, which always provides reliable and reliable information, and with the help of history and research in archives, where there is more information than one might imagine, Vinatea identifies Marcia Belisarda: María Fernández López was her name in the century; and María de Santa Isabel, in the convent of the Comendadoras de Santiago de Toledo. This book consists of two main parts: a preliminary study that provides a literary-historical approach to the text and the author's biography; and a second part that presents the complete annotated poetic oeuvre. Much of the poetry of the women writers of the Golden Age circulated in manuscript among a small and select group readership. Today the "Batihoja" collection of high school of programs of study Auriseculares brings back to Hispanic literature a voice B of 17th century convent poetry by women.

Ricardo Fernández Gracia, La buena report del obispo Palafox y su obra en Puebla, New York, IDEA, 2014. ISBN: 978-1-938795-00-8.

This study focuses on the unpublished declarations made by leading figures in the city of Puebla in 1648, on the eve of Palafox's departure for the peninsula, at the same time as the bishop was drawing up his instructions for the government of the diocese. The documentation analysed here forms part of Palafox's private file which he passed on to his descendants, the Marquises of Ariza. They are opinions that praise the works of the bishop-viceroy, from different points of view, and are elaborated through answers to a common questionnaire . Hence the use of the expression de buena report as the title of this monograph. In addition to the full transcription of the declarations, we study the context of the document and the witnesses. We have grouped their testimonies by subject in two chapters, the third and fourth, adding another chapter at the end, related to the image of the prelate in the painting of the time, which perfectly complements what was written by these men in the mid-17th century.

Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Cephalus and Pocris, introd. Enrica Cancelliere, ed. Ignacio Arellano, New York, IDEA, 2013. ISBN: 978-1-938795-93-0  

The universal genius of Calderón de la Barca was not only interested in the field of tragedy or the fables of great spectacle and the auto sacramental. Although less studied, his comic work is no less important. Among all his comedies of humour, the burlesque and nonsensical Céfalo y Pocris stands out, an astonishing grotesque parody that constitutes a veritable encyclopaedia of the aurisecular mechanisms of laughter and an unsurpassable example of Calderón's wit.

This edition has been prepared by Ignacio Arellano, Full Professor of the University of Navarra, author of numerous works on Calderón and the literature of the Golden Age, director of group of research Siglo de Oro of the same University (GRISO) and founder of the magazine yearbook calderoniano.

The introduction, which outlines the main lines of the comedy, is by Enrica Cancelliere, professor at the University of Palermo, a leading authority on Góngora's poetry and the theatre of the Golden Age, among other areas of her interdisciplinary research , especially attentive to the relationship between the literary and the visual. Professor Cancelliere is one of the most internationally renowned specialists in Calderón's work and her study offers the fundamental keys to the reading of Cephalus and Pocris, surely the best comedy of its genre.

Joan Oleza, From Ancient Classical to Modern Classical: Lope de Vega and the New Challenges of Spanish Theatre, New York, IDEA, 2012. ISBN: 978-1-938795-89-3

This book offers the reader for the first time in English some of Joan Oleza's most representative essays on early modern Spanish theatre. Its pages go through the genre system that Lope de Vega puts into play and its evolution over time.They stop especially on one of the most innovative genres, the historical drama of private events. Or they go into the relativistic discourse that supports Lope de Vega's theatre, such as Montaigne's essays, as opposed to the theocentric and substantial thought of the time. Finally, it analyses Lope de Vega's entire theatre as a system in which three different factors interact: genres, schemes and cases. All these essays highlight the new challenges faced by the New Comedy.

Joan Oleza is Professor at the University of Valencia. At present he is the Principal Investigator of different research projects such as the Spanish classical theatrical patrimony: texts and research tools,TC/12, or the Database, plots and texts of Spanish classical theatre project(Artelope).

Pedrarias de Almesto, Relación de la workshop de Omagua y El Dorado, ed. Álvaro Baraibar, New York, IDEA, 2012. ISBN: 978-1-938795-88-6

The present edition makes available to the reader the Relación de la workshop de Omagua y El Dorado written by Pedrarias de Almesto, a first text prepared by this Marañón before the version by his colleague Francisco Vázquez came into his hands.

It was therefore necessary to undertake the edition that this text deserved, rescuing it from the oblivion into which it had fallen in modern editions on the Marañones. This Relación thus joins an important corpus that recounts the events of a workshop that began as the search for the mythical Dorado and ended with the rebellion and death of Lope de Aguirre.
