Ohar filologikoak Azkoitiko testu aurkitu berriaz: irakurketa proposamena

Abstract

This work presents a critical edition of the poems from Azkoitia (ca. 1515), based on the palaeographic transcription and preliminary philological analysis published at the time of their presentation, with the aim of presenting proposals for the interpretation of the most obscure aspects, as well as a more precise linguistic analysis. Thus, a new proposal for the division of the poems and their internal structure is made. Similarly, certain previously unidentified features are described and, despite certain difficulties, it is argued that the text can generally be circumscribed within the archaic Basque of western Gipuzkoa (especially in light of  the verbal morphology; cf. eztet, naçu, niagon, çatan, vanijoean); however, in order to explain the unexpected bequela ‘as’ variant, and in addition to the diachronic variability of the isoglosses, further studies on the origin of the poems and the person who wrote them are regarded as essential in order to achieve more reliable results.
