The Incunabula from the Valencian Chapter Library: traces of a llibreria vella y antiga
María Luz MANDINGORRA LLAVATA, José Vicente BOSCÁ CODINA
Original title: Los incunables de la Catedral de Valencia: huellas de una llibreria vella y antiga
Published in
Keywords: History of libraries, Incunabula, Valencia Cathedral.
The Valencia Cathedral presently retains 117 incunabula which correspond to 85 different editions. The aim of this article is to show the origin and development of this collection since the Late Middle Ages until today. To this end, we have studied the material features of the books, especially their marks of ownership and provenance. In addition to this, we have analyzed four inventories of the Valencian Chapter Library that were conducted throughout the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries, as well as the inventory prepared by José Sanchis Sivera (1930) and the Catalogue published by Elías Olmos Canalda in 1951. This analysis has allowed us to identify many of the editions preserved today by the Cathedral along with others that have been lost over time, for reasons ranging from the expurgations during the 16th and 17th centuries to a possible transfer to other institutions. Besides, we have been able to establish the early constitution of the collection, since almost 60% of the editions owned at present by the Valencia Cathedral were already there in the middle of the 16th century.

Climbing the walls as a method of conquest, set amongst history and legend. From Damascus to Alhama de Granada
Eva LAPIEDRA
Original title: La escalada a las murallas como método de conquista entre la historia y la leyenda. De Damasco a Alhama de Granada
Published in
Keywords: City of Brass, Conquest, Giraldo sem Pavor, Literary topos, Reconquest, Storming the walls, Transtextuality.
This article brings together and compares different historical literary texts belonging to the chronicle traditions of both Arabic and Islamic writers and to Latin and Christian chroniclers on the Iberian Peninsula. All of them narrate the surprise conquest of a city using the method of storming and climbing its walls. The continuance of that literary topos through time and space appears to indicate that it was carried from the Arab world to the Latin peninsular Romance across the border between the Almohad empire and the emerging Portuguese empire in the 13th Century. That’s why it appears in Portuguese and Castilian Chronicles, but not in those from Catalonia.

From the sagesse des troubadours to the polite allegory of Ramon Llull
Anna Maria COMPAGNA
Original title: De la sagesse des troubadours al alegorismo cortés de Ramon Llull
Published in
Keywords: Laicism, Middle Ages, Ramon Lull, Troubadours.
If certain comparisons between works rarely go beyond superficial analogies, the concept of a figure allows us to frame in a new light the affinity of some of Llull’s works with troubadour poetry, where the lady as a metaphor for Wisdom and as a folkloric epiphany presages what which will be the courteous allegorism of Ramon Llull. The importance that Llull gives to the metaphor finds part of his matrix in the love story of the troubadours.

Textual transmission in Latin and romance language of the sermons of Sant Vicent Ferrer
Manuel ORTUÑO ARREGUI
Original title: La transmisión textual en lengua latina y romance de los sermones de Sant Vicent Ferrer
Published in
Keywords: Latin, Romance, Sermons, St. Vincent Ferrer.
The aim of the present article is to explain the textual transmission in Latin and romance language of the sermons preached by S. Vicent Ferrer. His sermons were scored by listeners who were transcribing them and are notable texts in Valencian, Catalan and Castilian medieval literature. In fact, the oldest Vincentian sermons that have come down to us are in latin – which is not to say that he might preach in that language but for its wider dissemination and usefulness were collected in it–, while it is accurate that in some few occasions have some words in other languages, probably introduced by the same reportatores.
