Eibarko testu zaharrak berrikusten: 1754ko udal-ordenantzak

Abstract

In this paper I present a critical edition of a municipal ordinance from Eibar written in 1754. The text completes the corpus of old and modern texts of the Deba valley, and it gives new insights for the study of the 18th century Basque dialect of Eibar. Moreover, as this kind of texts are not so abundant in the history of Basque, it is quite interesting for the study of the administrative language. The ordinance was transcripted first by Mujika (1908), and subsequent text antologies followed it. However, these transcriptions are not free from errors. Thus, this edition intends to correct these mistakes and to give a critical version of the text. Along with the edition, I present an analysis of the graphic system and an analytical lexicon.
