La presente edición <strong><strong>de</strong>l</strong> <strong>Libro</strong> <strong><strong>de</strong>l</strong> <strong>infante</strong> <strong>don</strong> <strong>Pedro</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Portugal</strong> toma como texto base<br />

la princeps, impresa en Sevilla en 1515, por Jacobo Cromberger, completándose las lagunas<br />

que presenta con el texto Burgos, <strong>de</strong> 1563, que salió <strong>de</strong> las prensas <strong>de</strong> Felipe <strong>de</strong><br />

Junta. La acompaña un estudio introductorio en el que se <strong>de</strong>tallan las características<br />

más <strong>de</strong>stacadas <strong>de</strong> la obra.<br />

Se trata <strong>de</strong> un libro <strong>de</strong> viajes imaginarios en el que se narra el periplo <strong><strong>de</strong>l</strong> <strong>infante</strong>,<br />

junto con doce compañeros, a Tierra Santa y la corte <strong><strong>de</strong>l</strong> mítico Preste Juan. Su autoría<br />

no está clara, a pesar <strong>de</strong> los datos que el autor nos da en el prohemio, en el que se<br />

i<strong>de</strong>ntifica como Gómez <strong>de</strong> Santestevan, «uno <strong>de</strong> los que anduvimos con el <strong>infante</strong> <strong>don</strong><br />

<strong>Pedro</strong>». Su fecha <strong>de</strong> composición, según estudios <strong>de</strong> la crítica, correspon<strong>de</strong>ría al último<br />

tercio <strong><strong>de</strong>l</strong> siglo XV, aunque probablemente circulara ya con anterioridad.<br />

The present edition of the book <strong>Libro</strong> <strong><strong>de</strong>l</strong> <strong>infante</strong> <strong>don</strong> <strong>Pedro</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Portugal</strong> is based on the<br />

princeps, printed by Jacobo Cromberger in Seville in 1515, and the gaps it presents are<br />

filled with the text Burgos, printed by Felipe <strong>de</strong> Junta in 1563. It is accompanied by an<br />

introductory study which highlights the most relevant aspects of the work.<br />

It is a travel book which narrates Infante Don <strong>Pedro</strong>’s imaginary journey, together<br />

with twelve travel companions, to the Holy Land and the court of the mythical Preste<br />

Juan. Its authorship is not clear in spite of the data given by the author in the introduction<br />

to the book, in which he introduces himself as Gómez <strong>de</strong> Santestevan, «one<br />

of Infante Don <strong>Pedro</strong>’s travel companions». According to the critics, it was written in<br />

the last third of the 15 th century, although it probably was in circulation before that<br />

time.<br />
