Announcing a New Edition of Lathrop’s Don Quijote!
2 cervantes & co. 2012
& [
A brand-new, revised edition of Lathrop’s Don Quijote will be published on June 1, 2012. The text remains
the same, but the typography is new and much easier to read. Jack Davis’s 55 full-page drawings enhance the
text. There are about a hundred photographs to illustrate many things that would be impossible to imagine
otherwise—a vihuela, the Toros de Guisando, the bay at Lepanto—as
well as reproductions of several first pages of Spanish classics. There
is also a revised index. If you need a desk copy, send us an e-mail at
deskcopies@europeanmasterpieces.com from your university e-mail
address, and we will send it to you on June 1, 2012.

La Giralda
562 The Caballero del Bosque tells of his feats II, 14
y diversos peligros, prometiéndome al fin de
cada uno, que en el fin del otro° llegaría el de
mi esperanza. Pero así se han ido eslabonando°
mis trabajos, que no tienen cuento,° ni yo
sé cuál ha de ser 'el último° que dé principio
al cumplimiento° de mis buenos deseos. Una
vez me mandó que fuese a desafiar a aquella
famosa giganta de Sevilla llamada la Giralda, 1
que es tan valiente y fuerte como° hecha de
bronce, y sin mudarse de un lugar es la más
movible° y voltaria° mujer del mundo. Llegué,
vila y vencíla, y hícela estar queda° y a
raya, porque en más de una semana no soplaron
sino vientos nortes. 2 Vez también hubo
que me mandó fuese a 'tomar en peso° las
antiguas piedras de los valientes Toros de
Guisando, 3 empresa más para encomendarse°
a ganapanes que a caballeros. Otra vez me
mandó que me precipitase y sumiese° en la
sima de Cabra, 4 peligro inaudito y temeroso,
y que le trujese particular relación de lo que
en aquella escura profundidad se encierra.
Detuve el movimiento a la Giralda, pesé los
Toros de Guisando, despeñéme en la sima
y saqué a luz lo escondido de su abismo, y
mis esperanzas, 'muertas que muertas,° y sus
mandamientos y desdenes, 'vivos que vivos.°
En resolución, últimamente me ha manda-
Twelve Labors: 1) to kill a lion 2) and a nine-headed hydra; 3) to capture a stag 4)
and a wild boar; 5) to clean all the cattle stables of King Augeas in one day [this
king had herds of cattle, so Hercules diverted a river to wash the stables clean];
6) to shoot man-eating birds; 7) to capture a mad bull; 8) and man-eating mares;
9) to take the girdle of Hippolyte, queen of the Amazons [after which she died
of a broken heart]; 10) to seize the cattle of a three-bodied giant; 11) to bring
back the golden apples found at the end of the world; and 12) to bring up from
the lower world the three-headed dog Cerebrus.
1 The Moorish belltower beside Seville’s cathedral is known as La Giralda
today (98 meters tall, built as a minaret in the late 12th century), but technically
giralda refers only to the weathervane statue of a woman at its top. The statue is
made of bronze, as the knight goes on to say.
2 That is, because only northwinds blew, the weathervane remained still.
3 The four famous “bulls” of Guisando near el Tiemblo (province of Toledo)
are pre-Christian representations carved from granite of four-legged animals—they
do look more like bulls than anything else. They bear Iberian and
Roman inscriptions.
4 The Sima de Cabra is a cave about five kms. outside of Cabra (province
of Córdoba), mentioned elsewhere by Cervantes.

Don Quijote tells how he met Montesinos 631
la barba, canísima,° le pasaba de la cintura. No traía arma ninguna, sino
un rosario de cuentas en la mano, mayores que medianas nueces, y los
incomparable dieces4 asimismo como huevos medianos de avestruz. 5 El
continente, el paso, la gravedad y la anchísima° presencia, cada cosa de
por sí y todas juntas, me suspendieron y admiraron. Llegóse a mí, y lo
primero que hizo fue abrazarme estrechamente y luego decirme, ‘Luengos
tiempos ha, valeroso caballero don Quijote de la Mancha, que los que
estamos en estas soledades encantados esperamos verte, para que des noticia
al mundo de lo que encierra y cubre la profunda cueva por donde has
entrado, llamada la Cueva de Montesinos, hazaña sólo guardada para ser
acometida de tu invencible corazón y de tu ánimo stupendo. 6 Ven conmigo,
señor clarísimo, que te quiero mostrar las maravillas que este transparente
alcázar solapa,° de quien yo soy alcaide y 'guarda mayor° perpetua,
porque soy el mismo Montesinos, de quien la cueva toma nombre.’
“Apenas me dijo que era Montesinos, cuando le pregunté si fue verdad
lo que en el mundo de 'acarriba° se contaba, que él había sacado de la
mitad del pecho, con una pequeña daga, el corazón de su grande amigo
Durandarte y llevádole a la señora Belerma, como él se lo mandó al punto
de su muerte.
“Respondióme que en todo decían
verdad, sino en la daga, porque
no fue daga, ni pequeña, sino un 'puñal
buido,° más agudo que una lezna.°”
“Debía de ser,” dijo a este punto
Sancho, “el tal puñal de Ramón de
Hoces, el sevillano.” 7
“No sé,” prosiguió don Quijote, “pero no sería dese puñalero,° porque
Ramón de Hoces fue ayer, y lo de Roncesvalles, donde aconteció esta
desgracia, ha muchos años, 8 y esta averiguación no es de importancia, ni
turba ni altera la verdad y contexto de la historia.”
“Así es,” respondió el primo, “prosiga vuestra merced, señor don Quijote,
que le escucho con el mayor gusto del mundo.”
“No con menor° lo cuento yo,” respondió don Quijote, “y así digo, que
Puñal
4 The rosary is essentially five sets of eleven beads used to keep track of
prayers said. Ten beads represent repetitions of the Hail Mary, and the eleventh
one (the diez, a slight misnomer), a bit larger than the others, represents the Our
Father. These 55 beads are connected into a loop to which is added five more
beads and a crucifix.
5 An ostrich egg is six inches across, and three inches wide. It weighs about
three pounds.
6 Although many editors make this into estupendo, the original did show
it spelled stupendo, perhaps an Italianism, in imitation of the fantastic epics
written in Italian.
7 No one knows if there was a real Ramón de Hoces who worked in Seville.
8 Ha muchos años is an understatement. Roland was slain at Roncesvalles
in 778a.d. See Part I, Chap. 26, p. 222, note 7.

The Caballero del Bosque describes Don Quijote 563
Los toros de Guisando
do que discurra por todas las provincias de España y haga confesar a
todos los andantes caballeros que por ellas vagaren,° que ella sola es la
más aventajada° en hermosura de cuantas hoy viven, y que yo soy el más
valiente y el más bien enamorado caballero del orbe, en cuya demanda
he andado ya la mayor parte de España, y en ella he vencido muchos
caballeros que se han atrevido a contradecirme. Pero de lo que yo más
me precio y ufano es de haber vencido en singular batalla a aquel tan
famoso caballero don Quijote de la Mancha, y héchole confesar que es
más hermosa mi Casildea que su Dulcinea, y en sólo este vencimiento
hago cuenta que he vencido todos los caballeros del mundo, porque el tal
don Quijote que digo los ha vencido a todos, y habiéndole yo vencido a
él, su gloria, su fama y su honra se ha transferido y pasado a mi persona:
Y tanto el vencedor es más honrado,
cuanto más el vencido es reputado.° 5
“Así, que ya 'corren por mi cuenta° y son mías las inumerables hazañas
del ya referido don Quijote.”
Admirado quedó don Quijote de oír al Caballero del Bosque, y estuvo
mil veces por decirle6 que mentía, y ya tuvo el mentís° en el pico
de la lengua, pero reportóse lo mejor que pudo por hacerle confesar por
su propia boca su mentira, y así sosegadamente° le dijo: “De que vuesa
merced, señor caballero, haya vencido a los más caballeros andantes de
España, y aun de todo el mundo, no digo nada. Pero de que haya vencido
a don Quijote de la Mancha, póngolo en duda—podría ser que fuese otro
que le pareciese, aunque hay pocos que le parezcan.”
“¿Cómo no?” replicó el del Bosque, “por el cielo que nos cubre que
peleé con don Quijote, y le vencí y rendí, y es un hombre alto de cuerpo,
seco de rostro, estirado y avellanado de miembros, entrecano,° la nariz
aguileña° y algo corva, de bigotes grandes, negros y caídos.° Campea° debajo
del nombre del Caballero de la Triste Figura, y trae por escudero a
5 These two verses, are adapted from La Araucana, I, 2, of Alonso de (1533-
1594), the epic poem about the conquest of the Chilean Indians by the Spaniards.
The verses as cited scan as eleven syllables each, but Ercilla’s version was different:
“Pues no es el vencedor más estimado / de aquello en que el vencido es reputado.”

Juan de la Cuesta is a celebrated name in Hispanic publications, most particularly because the first editions
of Don Quijote—1605 and 1615—were printed on Cuesta’s presses; but even without Cervantes’ masterwork,
Cuesta would have been famous through carefully prepared editions of other literary monuments and works
of humanistic erudition.
The modern Juan de la Cuesta, founded in 1978, is a descendent in spirit of its Madrid namesake since it
strives to publish only the worthiest of manuscripts, in the handsomest of editions, and at reasonable prices.
Within the monographs, aside from the more general works, we have developed specialty areas which
include: Documentacíon cervantina, Estudios lingüísticos, Ediciones críticas, Homenajes, Estudios de literatura latinoamericana
‹‹Irving A. Leonard,›› Estudios de literatura medieval ‹‹John E. Keller,›› and Estudios judeoespañoles
‹‹Samuel G. Armistead y Joseph H. Silverman››.
Juan de la Cuesta invites inquiries from scholarly authors in all fields of Hispanic language and literature.
To be eligible to be published, manuscripts submitted to Juan de la Cuesta must pass internal review, be approved
by an expert reader, and be endorsed by appropriate members of the Editorial Board.

de esto y aquello en las obras de cervantes
Stanislav Zimic
De esto y aquello en las obras de Cervantes contiene los estudios que se han presentado originalmente—por
invitación especial—como ponencias en congresos nacionales e internacionales o como homenajes a ilustres
colegas hispanistas. Representan un anticipo de ideas e interpretaciones que posteriormente se elaboraron en
libros: El teatro de Cervantes (1992), Las Novelas Ejemplares de Cervantes (1996), Los cuentos y las novelas del
Quijote (1998, 2003) y Cuentos y episodios del Persiles (2005). Los estudios 2, 10 y 11 (Indice) aparecen ahora
por primera vez . Todos estos estudios (algo modificados) se reunen en este nuevo libro por el deseo de que
sean fácilmente accesibles al lector interesado en los temas cervantinos en ellos tratados.
Stanislav Zimic es catedrático de Literatura Española en la Universidad de Texas en Austin. Ha escrito
libros y artículos sobre Gómez Manrique, Encina, Torres Naharro, Gil Vicente, Garcilaso, Lazarillo de
Tormes, Lope, F. de Quintana, asi como sobre otros autores y aspectos del Siglo de Oro. Sobre Cervantes ha
publicado numerosos artículos y estudios monográficos, además de los cuatro libros mencionados.

a Holy alliance: alfonso X’s use of Marian poetry
Connie L. Scarborough
Scarborough explores the political themes and messages embedded in the king’s collection of miracles attributed
to the Virgin—Las Cantigas de Santa Maria. While this study does not reject the religious sincerity
of this great Alfonsine project, it shows that the political implications for these songs were also principle
concerns in the monarch’s text. Special attention is paid to those songs which are narrated in the first-person.
Even though the use of a narrative “I” is not proof of Alfonso’s personal authorship of any of the songs, this
narrative device is frequent in those tales that relate the many challenges the king faced or events for which
he claims to be an eye-witness.
This book takes a fresh look at the propagandistic potential in songs related to historical events, especially
the conversion of the Moorish city of Alcanate into the Christian town of El Puerto de Santa María. It also
deals with select cantigas in which Jews and Moors play a prominent role and investigates how these texts reflect
the complex nature of the relationship between the king and the ethnic/religious minorities in his realms.
The use of Galician as the linguistic vehicle for religious/political verse is also addressed. Significant attention
is paid to the ways in which Alfonso chose to portray his recurring bouts of serious illness and addresses the
issue of why a monarch concerned with presenting himself as a strong ruler would so openly admit to frequent
physical limitation. The Cantigas de Santa Maria are also seen as a vehicle for Alfonso to record his own family’s
history and its privileged position as a royal family blessed with special favor by the Queen of Heaven.
A Holy Alliance also moves beyond the poetic texts to examine how Alfonso incorporated visual images
of himself in the illustrated manuscripts of the Cantigas de Santa Maria. It shows that the king was concerned
about how he was physically portrayed as well as the importance he placed on the display of symbols of royal power.
The purpose of this study is to shed more light on the complicated political preoccupations that beset Alfonso. As a monarch, scholar, and devotee
of the Virgin, the king reveals important clues about his own political ideology and strategies in his songs about the Virgin’s miracles. The political and
the religious are intertwined in the Cantigas de Santa Maria which often contain subtle, and not-so-subtle, subtexts within a framework of a collection
ostensibly designed to promote Marian devotion.

the poetics of word and image in the Hispanic avant-garde
Catharine E. Wall
The Poetics of Word and Image in the Hispanic Avant-Garde is a literary history of verbal-visual relations in the
Hispanic avant-garde in Europe and Latin America from 1909 through the 1920s. The introduction shows how
foundational writings by Jorge Luis Borges, Guillermo de Torre, and Ramón Gómez de la Serna both contribute
implicitly to the ut pictura poesis polemic in the 1920s and confirm an overriding visual impulse in the avantgarde
aesthetic. In rough chronological order with a predominantly national focus in each chapter, the book
traces the roots of Hispanic vanguardism from its rise in Spain and France (1909-1922) through ultraísmo and
martinfierrismo in Argentina (1921-1927), estridentismo in Mexico (also 1921-1927), and the new literature in
1920s Uruguay (1919-1931).
Each chapter opens with an introductory survey of relevant chronological, aesthetic, and bibliographic
issues. Multiple sections in each chapter highlight the most provocative manifestations of the visual aesthetic.
Some of these focus on an individual writer (Gómez de la Serna, Eduardo González Lanuza), an important work
(Oliverio Girondo’s “Croquis en la arena,” Manuel Maples Arce’s “Prisma”), or a significant theoretical issue (the
ultraísta prism aesthetic, Borges’s interartistic theory of metaphor), while others are surveys (book illustration
in estridentismo, the visual aesthetic in Uruguayan poetry). This experimentation takes the shape of illustrated
texts, visual writing in various genres, transpositions, and visual allusions, among other verbal-visual constructs.
Drawing, painting, printmaking, and photography are the principal visual media relevant to the literary topics under discussion. Vicente Huidobro,
Borges, José Juan Tablada, and other canonical avant-gardists necessarily appear together with less-studied, peripheral, or even forgotten writers and
works such as Alfredo Mario Ferreiro, Pedro Figari, Germán List Arzubide’s El movimiento estridentista, and an obscure visual text by Diego Rivera.
Several ancillary features enhance the scope of the book: a chronology, a glossary, a bibliographic essay, four appendices, and the most relevant
images available for reproduction. The chronology highlights the crucial moments of verbal-visual innovation in the Hispanic avant-garde, from the
initial musings of cubism and futurism, continuing with the reception in Spain and Latin America of the futurist aesthetic in 1909, and extending
into the early 1930s. The glossary serves as a ready reference to the aesthetics and the terminology of the myriad movements, groups, and tendencies
of the Hispanic and international avant-garde. The bibliographic essay surveys and evaluates the bibliographies and the anthologies of primary
sources that offer comprehensive access to the broad context of the Hispanic literary avant-garde. The Poetics of Word and Image in the Hispanic Avant-
Garde—a noteworthy contribution to the fields of Hispanic literature, the avant-garde, and word-and-image studies—exemplifies the burgeoning
importance of comprehensive, interartistic, and transatlantic approaches to avant-garde studies.

rabelais, Bajtin y Formalismo en la narrativa de sergio pitol
Genaro J. Pérez
Esta monografía sobre el galardonado escritor Mexicano identifica, demuestra y analiza el atrevimiento, la
originalidad y la virtuosidad formal de Sergio Pitol. El primer capítulo describe el contrapunteo narrativo de
los dos narradores de El tañido de una flauta y el resentimiento del artista al no ser reconocido en su propio país.
Se analiza al pícaro mexicano en el extranjero como personaje protagonista-de-película e, irónicamente, de
novela. Juegos florales, analizada en el capítulo 2, es un ejercicio metaficticio que desconstruye las vicisitudes de
la vida conyugal y la dificultad del escribir. El tercer capítulo examina la primera novela del denominado Tríptico
del Carnaval, El desfile del amor, ofreciendo una exegesis. Dicha obra podría considerarse como una novela
enigmática, no sólo porque el protagonista se encuentra involucrado en la investigación de un crimen, sino
también por ser una comedia de enredos y una comedia de modales–una especie de “cuadro de costumbres” de
la sociedad mexicana. La narración sobresale igualmente por su ironía latente desde el título hasta el cuadro
final. Las dos novelas siguientes, Domar a la divina garza y La vida conyugal, analizadas en el cuarto y quinto
capítulos, retratan una guerra sin cuartel entre los géneros: Domar retrata a Dante sufriendo los estragos de
haber perdido la batalla con su rival “académico” y La vida presenta a una esposa probablemente abusada y
cruelmente burlada por el marido. El estudio se propone presentar al lectorado una visión panorámica a la vez
que analítica de la narrativa del reciente Premio Cervantes mexicano.

positively negative: pío Baroja, the essayist
Carlos Roberto Saz Parkinson
ernesto giménez caballero: the vanguard Years (1921-1931)
Andrew A. Anderson
New titles
While Baroja’s novels have been the subject of numerous studies, until now, there has been no comprehensive
analysis of his essays, in spite of the fact that this incredibly prolific writer devoted more than a third of his production
to non-fiction prose. This work seeks to remedy this lacuna. The essays are approached in an innovative
way, focusing on philosophical and formal elements that lead to intriguing conclusions. The author argues for
two fundamental tensions in Baroja, one, the philosophical, due to, “contradictions of a violent existential struggle
between the philosophies of Nietzsche and Schopenhauer,” while the other is formal, in that Baroja sometimes
reveals this philosophical conflict differently in the essays and in the novels. This raises a number of fascinating
questions regarding both genres.
Divided into five chapters, plus a lengthy introduction and conclusions, the author begins by exploring the
history and form of the essay, concentrating particularly on Montaigne and Bacon. Chapter 2 is devoted to an
extensive analysis of those aspects of the philosophies of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche most influential in Baroja.
Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the essays, systematically pointing out the profound influence of Nietzsche, as well as
Baroja’s inner struggle as he tried to reconcile his admiration for both philosophers.
Chapter 5 considers seventeen of Baroja’s novels in the light of the philosophical tension revealed in the
essays, dwelling in particular on the Schopenhauerian pessimism that prevails in his fiction, in contrast to the
Nietzschean tone of so many of his essays. The author coins the phrase, “positively negative” for Baroja, the essayist, whom, he recognizes, was “not
exactly the world’s jolliest character.” He believes he was, “absolutely negative because Baroja’s capacity to be critical knew no bounds, but positively
so because behind the criticism there was a clear, even furious, desire for a vigorous alternative to what Baroja saw as the mediocre life of society.”
This work provides new insights into both the essays of Baroja and his novels. Those interested in the influence of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche
on early twentieth century literature will similarly find the work of value. A Foreword by Gonzalo Sobejano, specialist, among other things, in Nietzsche
in Spain, gives the book an added dimension.

Ernesto Giménez Caballero (1899-1988) was a key figure on the Spanish literary scene in the 1920s.
He is best known for his editorship of La Gaceta Literaria (1927-1932), an exceptional literary journal
that still today offers a remarkable depth and breadth of insight into art and letters over the latter half
of the twenties in Spain. Alongside this magazine, Giménez Caballero is also sometimes remembered
as a prolific journalist, an indefatigable lecturer and traveler, the co- founder (with Luis Buñuel) of the
CineClub Español, a filmmaker, the proprietor of La Galeria, and the inventor and sole practitioner
of the new mixed-media genre, the cartel literario.
As a writer, he will be associated for many with some of the foundational ideological texts of Falange
Española, but before he began to produce those books (from 1932 onwards he had already published nine very
diverse volumes. Modern research on Giménez Caballero has tended to focus mainly on his intellectual biography,
whereas the goal of the present study is to offer a primarily literary-critical approach to his output from
1921 to 1931.
Notas marruecas de un soldado (1923), Los toros, las castañuelas y la Virgen (1927), Carteles (1927), Yo, inspector
de alcantarillas (1928), Hércules jugando a los dados (1928), Julepe de menta (1928/29), Visitas literarias de España
(wr. 1925-1928, pub. 1995), Circuito imperial (1929), and Trabalenguas sobre España (1931) are diverse texts both in genre and content and in style
and tone. They range from travelogue, social, political, and cultural commentary,literary criticisim, and book reviews, through to avant-garde short
stories and creative prose. Giménez Caballero’s influences range from Ortega y Gasset to Ramón Gómez de la Serna, from Nietzsche to Freud,
and far beyond.
Ernesto Giménez Caballero: The Vanguard Years (1921-1931) dedicates a chapter to each of these listed volumes, and closes with a tenth that
engages wich the very substantial body of criticism that Giménez Caballero published over these same years on the topic of avant-garde literature
and film. In this way the study provides an intrinsic critical analysis of each and every of his early books, an assessment of his first growing and then
later decreasing engagement with the avant-garde in his own writings, and a parallel account of his critical commentary on other Spanish, French,
and Italian writers and filmmakers involved in the same movement. The conclusion addresses the appeal and fascination that the avant-garde held
for him, how he came to be involved in it, and how subsequently he came, slowly and reluctantly, to leave.

María Zambrano: palabras para el mundo
Edited by Madeline Cámara and Luis Pablo Ortega
The roots and the echo of the words of the writer and philosopher Maria Zambrano (1904-1991) are the focus of
this anthology. The essays examine Zambrano’s formative years in Spain, the lessons she took from exile, and the
impact of her return to Spain. The contribution of our book lies in the fact that this is the first attempt to release
a compilation of the Spanish philosopher in the United States where she is insufficiently known and translated.
The book discusses the influences Zambrano received from teachers: her dialogues with Zubiri, coincidences
with Paz and his disagreements with Ortega, all occurring in the critical period in Spain at the dawn of the republic
but trapped in the strangling knot of fascism. We trace Zambrano’s route to an exile of forty years and pay special
attention to the period she spent in Cuba where she found her pre-natal homeland and in Puerto Rico which
she called the “island of hope.” Also discussed are her relationships with senior Cuban and Spanish writers that
founded the artistic avant-garde with prominent women intellectuals who sought to rethink democracy in their
island and mestizo cultural identity in modernity. It seems inevitable then that the anthology seeks to establish the
parallel between “her Spain” and “her Caribbean.” It is precisely this renewed nature of Maria Zambrano after exile
that makes her thoughts universal. The texts closing this volume attempt to place Zambrano’s influence beyond
the realm of literature and offer proofs of the contemporary and universal footprint of her thought in feminist
theorists, particularly those who claim the realm of “difference feminism,” as well as philosophers who use the
Greek legacy to defend poetry.
Participants in this volume have approached the work of Zambrano from different perspectives—philological, political, philosophical, anthropological,
and feminist—indicative of the interdisciplinarity that is inherent in the object under study.
To read Maria Zambrano, according to the open invitation of this anthology, it is necessary to analyze the world we inherited, and to become
responsible for and reconciled with the world in which we live. Her work provides “tools,” “visions,” “guides,” writings without borders where the
traditional disciplines—ontology, logic, ethics and poets—are no longer distinguished by initial capitals. It is an open invitation to a vivid dialogue.
We hope the reader will also participate.

la autobiografía espiritual de
la Madre María de san José (1656-1719)
Mario A. Ortiz
Es justo en 1691, año en que Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz escribe su célebre Respuesta al obispo de Puebla, Manuel
Fernández de Santa Cruz, cuando se estima que la mística y visionaria mexicana, la Madre María de San José,
comenzó a escribir su voluminosa vida a petición del mismo obispo. Si bien ambas vidas son muy diferentes en
su estilo y contenido, éstas se enmarcan dentro de la extensa y rica tradición literaria de la autobiografía espiritual
femenina, uno de los pocos espacios en el que las monjas de la edad moderna temprana podían expresarse por
medio de la pluma.
Los escritos de la Madre María de San José nos narran las primeras tres décadas de su vida y los numerosos
obstáculos que encontró que le impedían poder ingresar a un convento, así como los treinta y dos años que luego
vivió en el claustro. Estos textos nos ofrecen un detallado retrato de la vida diaria en su hacienda y en los conventos.
Como concluye Kathleen Myers en su “Introducción”: “Sus escritos llenan muchas lagunas en nuestro conocimiento
de la vida novohispana cotidiana tanto en el mundo doméstico como en el conventual. [. . .] Nos abren
el conocimiento a las complejidades de esas jerarquías, tanto seglar como religiosa, de las creencias culturales y
espirituales de su época y de la vida colonial en sí.”
Esta edición modernizada intenta hacer sus textos accesibles a una amplia audiencia de lectores modernos. Las
primeras dos partes se dedican a la vida secular de la Madre María y a su vida religiosa en los conventos. La tercera parte incluye su obra devocional
Las estaciones (o Via crucis), texto que la Madre María escribió como resultado de una serie de visiones que tuvo de la Virgen María. La edición
incluye una “Cronología de la vida de María de San José,” una detallada sección sobre las “Fuentes manuscritas,” y una bibliografía sobre cultura
conventual.

Quehaceres con góngora
Julio Baena
New titles
This book is about Góngora, famously the most difficult and enigmatic poet of the Spanish 17 th Century, but it is
a book with Góngora as much as a book on his poetry. Góngora and his poetry are treated as fully our contemporary,
as if Soledades were a book just published by a new author, put in a bookstore stand for the first time in 2010.
The subject matter of this book, however, is not literature. It is both less and more than literature, and, in
some respects, it posits itself “against literature.” Poetry—that mysterious thing much older than literature—, on
one hand, is to be recovered from its kidnappers, and on the other hand it is the kidnappers that are exposed in
this book for what they are, and one of the things they are is “us,” even if we are, ourselves, no more than pawns
in a much bigger game (the very bloody game of History).
This book is a structured set of critical thoughts—in the sense that the Frankfurt School gave to the notion
of “critical thinking”—around the unique phenomenon of Góngora’s poetry. “Quehaceres”—“things to do”—is
the tag that the author has pinned on each of the several undertakings that interact, or face each other dialectically,
in the book. The first thing to do is entitled “Góngora a solas,” and it brings face to face two old enemies:
performance and textuality, in an attempt to differentiate the use-value of poetry—of any poetry—from any
exchange-value or “meaning.” This differentiation, with its concomitant pleasure, is, of course, both impossible to
attain and indispensable. Only through the laborious fabrication of a silencing apparatus can it be approached.
The second “thing to do” (“La soledad en construcción”) is to draw the master plan of such a silencing machine. Such a machine already exists: it is
Góngora’s own poem Soledades, of which the strange title (the plurality of alone) points to the root of the problem—our—problem. Language as a
problem becomes a symptom of a deeper crisis, and points to a persistent wish to “get out.” This crisis was first announced by the mystics ( John of
the Cross or Teresa of Ávila), and, thus, Chapter 3 (“Quehacer Tercero”) explores how can this be, given that nothing seems to be more opposite to
the poetry of John of the Cross (“fábula mística”)than that of Góngora (“poesía prófuga”).
A fourth section (“Otros quehaceres”) puts together several short pieces of unpublished material by the author, which illuminate some of the
main aspects of the book, or constitute independent points of reflection on a few Gongorine issues. There are two notes on the Polifemo (one on
the dialectics of acquisition/consumption, and one on the paradox of “beautifully singing badly”). Another “quehacer” notices a strange irregularity
in the rhyme of the first lines of Soledades. Another one relates two old cousins (Garcilaso and Góngora) to a third, seemingly unrelated one ( Juan
Alfonso de Baena—no known relation to the author of this book either), and the final “thing to do” of the book is to simply remark that “isolation”
comes from the same root as “island,” an island being a place surrounded by shore on all sides. And since “shore” is obsessively abundant in Góngora’s
poetry, the book closes with a return to its opening yearn (“a solas”).

This critical edition of a fifteenth-century Spanish translation of Dante’s Divina Comedia attributed to Enrique
de Villena includes the Infierno, Purgatorio, and Paraíso as the texts appear in manuscript 10186 of the Biblioteca
Nacional de Madrid. The Introduction lays the groundwork for a greater understanding of Villena’s work within
the context of fifteenth-century translation culture in Spain. Additionally, light is cast on the most controversial arguments
that surround the manuscript: problems of provenance, ownership, authorship, completion date, dictation,
and hypothetical and extant manuscripts. Moreover, a carefully composed glossary of the undocumented terms
found in the translation, as well as many others that provide further insight into the history of the Spanish language,
illuminates our understanding of Medieval Spanish.

Francisco sánchez y el redescubrimiento de la duda en el renacimiento
Marcelo Saúl Broitman
The purpose of this book is to put the work of Francisco Sánchez, el Escéptico, the Hispanic medical doctor and thinker
of the XVI and XVII centuries, in its philosophical and historical context. In order to provide the background to Sánchez’s
main book, Quod nihil scitur (That nothing is known), which called into question any possibility of knowledge,
the study presents an analysis of the various stages of skeptical thought from its inception in ancient times until its
resurgence in the European Renaissance.
This book pays special attention to the work of three early philosophers: Pyrrho of Elis, the legendary founder
of the skeptical school who left no written work behind, but whose life, as told mainly by Diogenes Laertius, was a
model for his followers; Arcesilaus, who helped to steer Plato’s Academy towards skepticism during the period of that
school that is known as the Middle Academy, and Carneades, who headed the so called New Academy.
Regarding the disdain for skeptical thought traditionally attributed to philosophers of the Middle Ages, this
book pays attention to an exceptional text by Henry of Ghent. For other reasons, there are also references to Peter of
Spain, perhaps the most popular philosophical author of his time. To better understand some characteristics of medieval
dialectic and the consequent criticism by Francisco Sánchez, this book includes the Spanish translation of two
texts: one by Francesco Petrarca, and the other, a highly critical text by Juan Luis Vives that very probably influenced the work of Sánchez.
This book also considers the role that the religious reformers Girolamo Savonarola and Martin Luther may have played in the revival of
skepticism in their time. The last section of the book exposes and analyzes two philosophical works by Francisco Sánchez, Carmen de cometa anni
M.D.LXXVII, and Quod nihil scitur. The latter was instrumental in the rediscovery of critical thinking, and was well known and highly appreciated,
or defamed, in its time. It is the work that placed Sánchez in the history of Western thought.

artemio de valle-arizpe y su visión del México colonial
Dolores E. Rangel
El interés de este estudio se centra principalmente en recuperar la visión histórica que da Artemio de Valle-
Arizpe (1888-1961) de México en la época de la colonia a través de una selección de su obra que abarca los géneros
de la novela, la leyenda y la historia. Su visión está compuesta por elementos que oscilan entre el idealismo y
el realismo e incluye aspectos tanto de índole popular como erudita. El tratamiento que el autor da a sus temas
muestra su seriedad y compromiso, al mismo tiempo que refleja su gran sentido vital y su particular humor. En
su visión, el autor mexicano busca un redescubrimiento de su país, de su gente y de su historia bajo una estética
particular. A través de su obra se puede apreciar la intención por mostrar aquellos recovecos de la vida colonial, de
las creencias populares, de los prejuicios y atavismos que, como pueblo, México mantiene. Propone al lector una
desmitificación de un período histórico y cultural que ha sido estigmatizado como aburrido y solemne.
En las obras estudiadas, los planos de la historia, la ficción y la cultura se encuentran íntimamente relacionados
por lo cual el aspecto histórico es una importante vía de acceso. Este estudio recurre a algunos postulados fundamentales
de la corriente del Nuevo Historicismo, como es el de Hayden White relativo a que el trabajo histórico
es una construcción verbal y el de Stephen Greenblatt acerca del poder de las instituciones en la formación de
códigos culturales. Estas nociones contribuyen a la recuperación del complejo y diverso escenario del México colonial,
en el que está presente una valoración de las formas de vida coloniales, con la presencia de instituciones como
la iglesia Católica y la Corona española como ejes dominantes en su discurso. La composición social que muestra Valle-Arizpe es tajante y de grandes
contrastes, pero en la cual se destacan las nociones de lo ordinario y cotidiano en las relaciones dadas entre el individuo y la institución que lo rige.
Este libro se encuentra dividido en función de la presencia de la historia y sus alcances en los tres diferentes géneros estudiados, con un primer
capítulo que se aboca a un estudio sobre la obra de Valle-Arizpe y su momento dentro de las letras mexicanas de inicios del siglo XX, particularmente
el colonialismo. Para Artemio de Valle-Arizpe la historia no reside sólo en los documentos históricos tradicionales, que le sirven como intertextos,
sino en la tradición oral y en las construcciones materiales que definen la ciudad colonial. Por extensión, esto nos lleva a concluir que la historia para
Valle-Arizpe es un concepto fluido que incluye tanto el evento efímero y la anécdota breve, como la actitud emocional y la valoración estética hacia
un objeto.

the cult of the virgin in the Milagros
of gonzalo de Berceo: its type and purpose
Richard Burkard
Fully objective comments on Berceo’s Milagros de Nuestra Sennora from an historical-theological perspective
would seem to be in short supply. For the most part studies written hitherto have dealt chiefly with diction and
style, or have taken an essentially devotional approach. As a result there is much in the Milagros that remains
ignored or without adequate discussion.
In this, his first booklength study of the Milagros, Professor Burkard undertakes an examination of the overall
sense of the poem and includes in his analysis a variety of topics which have customarily received only limited
attention as, for instance, the forthright sanctioning of the secular interests of the clergy and the unabashed
promotion of anti-Semitism. Above all, he makes it clear that for Berceo a primary reason for practicing the cult
of the Virgin is the notion that she, the Virgin, can be more merciful than the Godhead or Christ in the matter
of forgiveness for sin and deliverance from damnation.
The book contains an English translation of the Latin source models used by the poet.

the severed Breast: the legends of saints agatha and lucy in
Medieval castilian literature
Andrew M. Beresford
The Severed Breast offers an introduction to the legends of Saints Agatha and Lucy in medieval Castilian literature,
paying particular attention to the relationship between sex, torture, and gendered identity.
The book begins with an appraisal of the work of Billy Bussell Thompson and John K. Walsh, who, in a
pioneering study of the early Castilian hagiographic prose tradition, provided the first systematic attempt at
classification. Building on their findings, Chapter 1 offers a comprehensive analysis of Compilation A, the Gran
flos sanctorum, showing how the legends of Agatha and Lucy were reworked into a sequence of manuscripts that
adopted Jacobus de Voragine’s Legenda aurea as a frame text but introduced a considerable number of modifications.
This is accompanied in Chapter 2 by a detailed textual analysis of the evolution of the two legends from
Latin into Castilian, showing how they were designed to be delivered orally – possibly in the context of sermons
or in the form of daily readings.
Chapter 3 focuses on a second medieval prose collection, Compilation B, offering an evaluation of its formation
and development. It shows that the legends of Agatha and Lucy were progressively modified and rewritten
as they were copied – in the process producing a series of partially differing versions, not one of which can be
thought of as definitive. An illustration of this problem is given in Chapter 4, which offers a systematic analysis of
the evolution of the two legends from Latin into Castilian along with an appraisal of developments that took place exclusively in the vernacular. It
shows that it is dangerous, methodologically, to assume that there is a single Agatha or a single Lucy, or indeed, a definitive version of their legends.
The final part of the book looks specifically at the most familiar and sensational aspect of Agatha’s passion – the severing of her breast. The
analysis begins in Chapter 5 with an appraisal previous critical approaches followed by a consideration of the representation of sexualized torture
elsewhere in the Compilations. Looking at both male and female alike, the study shows that we should resist the imposition of simplistic dichotomies
of gender, and should instead appreciate that representations of gendered identity are seldom stable. This leads, in Chapter 6, to a re-reading of
the legends of Agatha and Lucy, focusing on the gendering of torture, the power of rhetoric, and the cognate impact on representations of sanctity.
It concludes by offering a consideration of the uniquely female, life-giving, and yet simultaneously erotic quality of the breast, arguing that Agatha’s
torture should be understood as one that reflects most significantly on traditional representations of nurture and spiritual development.
The volume is completed in Chapter 7 by critical editions of the medieval Castilian recensions.

A play based on Niebla by Miguel de Unamuno
into the Mist by Edward H. Friedman
Into the Mist is an adaptation for the stage of Miguel de Unamuno’s 1914 novel Niebla [Mist]. Miguel de Unamuno was one of the most
prolific and influential Spanish writers of his time. He cultivated a wide variety of genres: novel, short story, poetry, drama, and essay. Sharing
his personal reflections and his spiritual crises with the public, Unamuno often becomes an author-as-character within his fictional and
nonfictional texts. Whereas literary realism tends to underplay differences between reality and fiction, certain types of literature flaunt what
can be called their “literariness,” their self-referential qualities. Niebla, philosophical and ingenious, is arguably the most complex of Unamuno’s
narrative ventures. Cervantes and Don Quixote seem to be on Unamuno’s mind as he composes an innovative form of fiction, which
emphasizes the artistic process and the act of creation, and which he labels the nivola.
Unamuno fashions an intriguing system of frames. Niebla opens with a prologue by the protagonist’s fictional friend and writer, Víctor
Goti, who is invited by Unamuno to comment on the text. Not wholly satisfied with Goti’s assertions, Unamuno answers with a brief postprologue,
and the action proceeds from there. Niebla was published seven years before the first performance of Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters
in Search of an Author, and it clearly anticipates the striking and acclaimed self-referentiality of the Italian play. Into the Mist reflects the
spirit and the self-consciousness of Niebla. Edward Friedman has faced the challenge of bringing the metafictional thrust and the profound
and bittersweet abstractions of the nivola to center stage.

Francisco urondo y su poesía, un arma cargada de futuro
Hernán Fontanet
A few months after the bloody military coup in Argentina on March 24, 1976 that began seven years of brutal military rule and
state-sponsored terror, a remarkable intellectual and inexpert guerrilla fighter named Francisco “Paco” Urondo (b. 1930) was sent to
Mendoza. His mission was to strengthen the resistance, which in the 1970s was one of the most powerful guerilla organizations in
Latin America—the Montoneros. A few days later, he was killed, adding his name to a list of no less than 30 poets who paid for their
commitment to the revolution with their lives.
By 1976, Urondo had (1) published more than ten books of poetry, an essay, a novel, short stories, an anthology of Argentine
poems, and had his plays staged, written teleplays, movie scripts and lyrics for songs; (2) become a well-recognized journalist who had
contributed to numerous newspapers and magazines; (3) won national and international awards for his work; (4) served as Director of
the Contemporary Art Department at the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (1957), as General Director of Culture in the Ministry of
Culture in Santa Fe (1958), and as Director of the Department of Literature at the University of Buenos Aires (1973); and (5), most
importantly, been recognized as an active member of the underground guerilla group, Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias, in 1973, when he was arrested.
Schmidt-Cruz says: “It is important to note that Professor Fontanet’s book fills a significant lacuna in the scholarship on the work of this worthy yet understudied
writer. A search in the MLA International Bibliography reveals a mere six entries on Francisco Urondo, all journal articles written between 1977 and 2009.
Indeed, it was high time that a comprehensive study be done of Urondo’s poetic production, and in this sense, Fontanet’s work makes a highly significant contribution
to the field of Latin American literary studies. What is more, readers of this book will come away with, not only a deepened understanding of the man and his writings,
but also of a key period in recent Argentine political, social, and intellectual history.”
Diego de Landa
relación de las cosas de Yucatán
J. Victor McGlone
ISBN 978-1-58871-213-4, (PB) $26.95
The Relación de las Cosas de Yucatán—a sixteenth-century work by Fray Diego de Landa—is the most detailed account in existence of life in
the Yucatán peninsula before the Spanish conquista and its aftermath. No other document so thoroughly describes the Mayans. Landa’s text
contains much information on the Mayas’ cultural customs, on their holidays, religious practices, language, and calendar, on how their lives
changed once the Spaniards arrived, and on the region’s plants and animals.
Much of what Landa wrote was based on his personal observations and interactions with the local people. He also relied heavily on
witnesses. Landa was able to question these people, members of the oldest Maya families, representatives of which still survived at the beginning
of this century, the Xiu, ancient rulers of Maní in the north-west of the peninsula, the Cocum and the Chel. The resulting combination
of personal observations, of interactions with the local people, and of witness interviews makes the Relación a uniquely rich text.
Landa’s Relación de las cosas de Yucatán is about as complete a treatment of Mayan religion as we are likely to ever have. Landa’s writings also
are our main contemporary source for Mayan history, without which our collective knowledge of Mayan ethnology would be devastatingly small.
Landa also created a valuable record of the Mayan writing system, which was later to prove instrumental in the later decipherment of the writing system.
Landa asked his informants to write down the glyphic symbols corresponding to each of the letters of the (Spanish) alphabet, in the belief that there ought to be a
one-to-one correspondence between them. The results were faithfully reproduced by Landa, although he recognized that the set contained apparent inconsistencies
and duplicates, which he was unable to explain—in the mid-twentieth century, it was realized that it was not a transcription of an alphabet, as Landa and others had
originally supposed, but was rather a syllabary.
You can see that there is an abundance of fascinating material in this book.

Bibliografia de vida ejemplar
y heroica de Miguel de cervantes saavedra de luis astrana Marín
by Krzysztof Sliwa
This is the first bibliographic work that, in alphabetical order by the author’s last name, identifies and locates 3,387 primary
and secondary references to books, book chapters, articles, reviews, scholarly magazines and newspapers, peer reviewed
journals, translations, and documents cited in Luis Astrana’s 4,232 page Vida ejemplar y heroica de Miguel de Cervantes
Saavedra. This bibliographic study sets out new discoveries about all materials used to outline the profile of Cervantes
and his family, and presents it in detail, since there is still a great deal of research to be done in order to discover the truth
about the life of Cervantes.
The purpose of this organized reference list of sources is to assist researchers in the critical selection of sources that
will shape and guide them in their future investigations about Cervantes, his life, works, and time. It is also to inform them
of the relevance, accuracy, quality and reliability of the sources used by Astrana, and help the reader decide if the material
cited is appropriate to their research needs, or if it should be avoided.
Each entry includes the author, title, publisher, date, volume, pages, and sometimes a critical commentary or explanatory note. These citations
are a fundamental tool for the future biographers and researchers, and they add significant clarity to Cervantine studies. In addition, they point
towards more sources on the topic that may be interesting or helpful, and they serve as evidence of the quality of Astrana’s research.
The task of preparing this work was not only to identify the sources, but it was also to read them in their entirety or at least review key portions
of the entire works to arrive at a critical assessment of their value.

cervantes y cuba: aspectos de una tradición literaria
by Alberto Rodríguez
It is not known that Cuba has had a long, abundant and distinguished tradition of cervantine studies. Since colonial days,
Cuban writers and scholars have demonstrated a very special interest in Cervantes’ life and works. Cervantes has had an
important role in Cuban literary criticism and also in Cuban intellectual history.
Cervantes y Cuba studies a period beginning with the year 1873, when Enrique José Varona wrote his first essays on
Cervantes, and concludes with the works of Jorge Mañach and Medardo Vitier in the early 1950’s. These years are rich
in essays that deal with Cervantes and Don Quijote. Cuban writers and scholars found important themes in Cervantes
that they could relate to the particular social and political circumstances of Cuba. Two central themes of Cervantes’ great
novel are of vital importance for the Cubans: the search for freedom and the dignity of the common man. The essays of
the Cuban writers and scholars bring to the fore in various ways the need to achieve a free and egalitarian form of life for
the nation, while, at the same time, they elevate the presence of the ordinary person by considering him a most important
element for the well-being of the country. For these scholars, freedom is essential; they also believe that the honest and
dedicated labor of the common man could create a good future for the country. These two themes are fundamental for Cuban cervantine scholarship.
The experience of the Cuban cervantine scholars has been influenced by the long struggle against colonialism and neocolonialism. Consequently,
the critical thrust of these scholars has a strong postcolonial tendency. In various ways and with varying intensities, the Cuban scholars react
to the rule of Spanish colonial power in Cuba and also to some extent to the influence of the United States on the island. Through Cervantes they
present the aspirations and hopes of a new nation that has suffered for a long time under the impositions of foreign powers. The writings of these
scholars contribute in significant ways to establish the Cuban identity.
Another reality that appears in some Cervantes scholars is the conflict between their love for Cuba and their profound link to Spanish culture.
This is part of the dramatic struggle that many intellectuals feel as a result of a postcolonial situation. Some of these scholars have contrasting emotions
which they express clearly in their essays. They feel an intense loyalty to Cuba while, at the same time, respect for Spain. Their writings are an
attempt to come to terms with this difficult and conflictive circumstance. They hope that eventually the terrible wounds left by the colonial experience
will heal so that the nation can look forward to a new era.
Cervantes y Cuba studies the postcolonial characteristics of Cuban cervantine scholarship. Through Cervantes and his works, the Cuban thinkers
and scholars consider the situation of their homeland and the identity of the nation.

talking and text: essays on the literature of golden age spain
by Elias L. Rivers
Introduction by Emilie L. Bergmann
The articles in this collection represent more than half a century’s exploration of literary texts and the social history of language by an
extraordinary scholar. Throughout his career, still remarkably productive long after retirement, Elias L. Rivers has addressed the work of
the greatest authors of Spain’s cultural Golden Age: Garcilaso de la Vega, Miguel de Cervantes, Luis de Góngora y Argote, Francisco de
Quevedo, and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Since these are also some of the language’s most difficult authors, Elias’s lucidly written interpretations
of renaissance and baroque stylistic labyrinths have become recognized as classics whose usefulness continues to grow over the years
since their first publication. Like Elias’s best graduate seminars [...] they present the broad sweep of literary history from classical antiquity
to Petrarchist poetics and Derrida’s theorizing of writing and speech, tuning the reader’s ear to resonances of classical and Italian texts in the poetic production of early
modern Spain, in a distinctly contemporary key. Elias’s profound interest in sociolinguistics lends immediacy to the voices of poets who wrote for élite audiences in
imperial Rome and Castile. His perspective is particularly effective for teaching heritage speakers who have learned about diglossia from personal experience, becoming
skilled in an official, written language while speaking a “mother” tongue at home. - from the introduction isbn 987-1-58871-150-2 (HB) $24.95

cited Lope and Calderón. Now that reliable editions are available, we can

Have you read Las trescientas? A New Edition.
Juan de Mena
las trescientas
edited by isidoro Janeiro
Juan de Mena (1411-1456) is one of the most important poets in the Spanish Pre-Renaissance.
As a member of the literary court of the king Juan II of Castile, he was the most
renowned author of the XV century, and promptly became—even during his lifetime—a
point of reference for future generations of poets. He is contemporary to the Marqués de
Santillana and Jorge Manrique. Mena held a close friendship with Don Álvaro de Luna,
whom he admired, reflected in his major work, Laberinto de Fortuna (1444). In Laberinto de
Fortuna or Las Trescientas, Mena was a defender of the Trastamaran dynasty, and in essence,
he is considered to be a propagandist for the court of Juan II of Castile.
In the year 1444, Juan de Mena presented to Juan II his Laberinto de Fortuna, and it
went to the printing press in 1481, thus making it one of the few vernacular works printed in
the early years of the printing press in Spain. It is an allegorical poem that presents Mena´s
vision of the political situation of the court of Juan II. Throughout the poem, Mena displays
a long list of historical figures, and exposes the vices and the corrupt state of affairs in the
kingdom of Castile. He urges the king to take action to fulfill the prophecy of uniting all the
Kingdoms of Spain under an absolute monarchy, and thus putting an end to civil wars and the “Reconquista.” Besides the political
connotations of the Laberinto, Mena’s conscious use of the vernacular was praised by scholars such as Antonio de Nebrija, who uses
his works exclusively in his Gramatica de la lengua castellana (1492) to defend his own proto-nationalist ideology.
This edition of Las trescientas analyzes the political connotations of the poem, and its relation to the humanist movement. It
also studies the role of the reader in the labyrinth of the text, and the task he or she plays in order to concretize the meaning hidden
within the allegorical structure of the poem. The study and notes are written in Spanish.

los estatuto de limpieza de sangre
controversias entre los siglos Xv y Xvii
by albert a. sicroff
Spain’s concern with a Jewish presence in her domain led to constantly surprising turns, thus distinguishing
it from the “anti-semitism” of other nations. It took a serious turn at the end of the 14th century when riots
against Jews led many of them to convert to Christianity to save life and property. When it was discovered that
many converts were clandestinely continuing to observe their former religion, pure blood statutes were adopted
to exclude them from many endeavors and communities (1449). At the same time many converts began to
challenge the propriety of such discrimination in Catholicism. The Spanish monarchy finally decided to “solve”
the problem by expelling the Jews from Spain (1492) and maintaining a vigil over those who had converted.
This decision kept alive a “virtual” Jewish presence by so-called New Christians of Jewish blood that
lasted well into the 17th century. In that time Spain was constantly pursuing the converts of Jewish ancestry
while writings challenging the legitimacy of such discrimination continued underground. The result was that
the public punishment of delinquent converts of Jewish blood earned Spain a reputation of being “a nation of
Jews”. And indeed many of the so-called Judaizers who continued to behave in a way that would cast suspi-
cion on many of Spain’s distinguished figures – in literature, medicine, commerce, explorers of the New World
and in religion – were “ex illis”.
Albert A. Sicroff
This book, a reedition of the 1985 Spanish version, is a detailed study of the pure blood statutes representing pivotal moments in the development
of the pure blood theme beginning with the Sentencia-Estatuto of Toledo in 1449 and ending with Fray Geronimo de la Cruz’s Defensa in 1637.
The study also focuses on the controversies to which the statutes gave rise and the far-reaching consequences of Spain’s preoccupation with blood
purity, finally suggesting the importance of an awareness of the theme in dealing with a variety of aspects of Golden Age Spain, in particular the
honor theme in literature.

A few days later, Don Quixote saw a cart carrying a cage with two fierce lions that an African general was
sending to the king of Spain. But Don Quixote thought the lions were being sent to him! With a half
smile he said, “Little lions have come to challenge me?” And to the lionkeeper he shouted, “Get down, and
open the cage and release those beasts. I’ll show them who Don Quixote de La Mancha is, in spite of the
enchanters who have sent them to me.”
“Look, Señor,” said Sancho, “there’s no enchantment here. I saw the claw of a lion through the bars of
the cage, and I can tell by the size of the claw that the lion itself must be bigger than a mountain.”
“Fear, at least,” responded Don Quixote, “will have made it seem larger than half the world. Stand back,
Sancho, and leave me alone to fight the lions.”
The lion keeper opened the door of the cage. The enormous lion opened his mouth wide and yawned,
then looked around but had no interest in leaving the cage. Don Quixote decided that the lion was just
plain afraid of him, and everyone declared him to be the victor.
The perfect gift for that budding cervantist...

TEORÍA Y TÉCNICAS DE TRADUCCIÓN
122
simultánea por medio de micrófonos y auriculares que permitía que un
intérprete escuchara una lengua y dijera el mensaje en otra a la vez. Este
método tuvo éxito y a mediados de los 40 durante los juicios de crímenes
nazis estos mecanismos ya con 20 años de edad, todavía retenían su eficacia.
Al formarse las Naciones Unidas, se adoptó la interpretación simultánea
a pesar de que algunos intérpretes y diplomáticos trataron de insistir en que
la interpretación consecutiva era más fiel. Con el aumento y la experiencia de
intérpretes simultáneos esta crítica no triunfó y prevaleció el enorme ahorro
de tiempo como criterio de la interpretación.
En la Organización de Estados Americanos hay cuatro lenguas oficiales,
el español, el portugués, el francés y el inglés en que trabajan los intérpretes.
Los otros organismos internacionales como el Banco Mundial, el Fondo
Monetario Internacional y la Unión Europea necesitan un sinfín de traductores
ya que los miembros han insistido en traducciones de todas las parejas
lingüísticas. Es obvio que las profesiones de intérprete y traductor han
aumentado en importancia últimamente, junto con los sueldos que reciben.
B. Teoría y técnicas:
Lo intraducible, la compensación
1. Lo intraducible consta de modismos, metáforas, refranes y referencias
folclóricas. Ya que reflejan la cultura, es imposible traducir los conceptos
literalmente. Hay que buscar una equivalencia dinámica en la lengua de
llegada.
Esta equivalencia traducirá la misma idea pero reflejando la cultura de la
lengua de llegada. Por ejemplo, no hay de que significa you’re welcome y no
hay posibilidad de traducir las palabras del modismo al pie de la letra porque
la traducción no tendría sentido. También muchos símiles y metáforas están
tan arraigados en la cultura que otra vez es necesario expresarlos con otros
términos. Por ejemplo as cool as a cucumber se expresa en español como más
fresco que una lechuga y like father like son es de tal palo tal astilla.
2. La compensación es un juego entre la expansión y la reducción ya que
el proceso de transferencia de una lengua a otra produce pérdidas y
ganancias. La compensación intenta recuperar en algún lugar de la traducción
lo que se ha perdido del original. Por ejemplo it’s raining cats and dogs, it’s
raining buckets o it’s pouring se traduce llueve a cántaros. Se puede ver la
compensación hecha por la idea de cantidades de lluvia y recipientes (López
Guix, pág. 292-3).

1. Friday the 13th (unlucky day)
2. Give me a light.
3. Silence is golden.
4. Se fue al cine.
5. Devorando con los ojos
6. Al que madruga, Dios le ayuda.
