Pedro José Aldazabalen euskal testuak: edizioa eta filologia-gaiak

Abstract

In this paper I present a critical edition of the Basque texts found in the books published by Pedro José Aldazabal. Apart from the critical edition of the texts, I analyse the authorship of the verses published in honor of the virgin of Itziar in Euskal Erria (1887) and ConTAV (Sarasola 1983). Even though they were dated in the 17^th century, I defend that they were actually written by Aldazabal. Aldazabal’s novena was republished in the 19^th century by Gorostegi, who introduced some linguistic changes. I also present a comparative study of both texts, as it may be interesting to understand the evolution of the literary Guipuzcoan and writers’ linguistic choices in the 18^th and 19^th centuries.
