"Refranes y Sentencias" (1596): Girolamo da Sommaiaren Salamancako lekukotasunetik Darmstadteko faksimile(ta)ra

Abstract

At the 2nd MLV Conference we presented a secondary witness of the book Refranes y Sentencias, a copy of the Spanish part made in Salamanca by the Italian humanist Girolamo da Sommaia. In the first part of this paper we present the manuscript and examine if this new copy shows us any more data than the known ones about the book. In the second part, we approach the photographs of the Darmstadt issue and review the lost issue from the point of view of the Material Bibliography, especially collecting and analyzing the handwritten notes that can be read in the exemplar. In this way, we try to show some features of the owner of the copy and the cultural context the book moved in.
