Textual malleability and cultural divergence : a voice-oriented philological study of the manuscripts of the Libro de Buen Amor
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- ABSTRACT The present dissertation is a direct philological study of the three surviving manuscripts that scholars refer to when they speak about the Libro de Buen Amor (fourteenth century Spain). It tries to lay the ground for a new philological approach that, rather than create a hypothetical hybrid of the three MSS in the tradition of the critical edition, seeks to uncover their differences and the different cultural contexts from which they emerge. Moving away from stemma-oriented philology, an approach that requires an original genealogical axis, this study directly examines the language of the manuscripts as independent texts. It seeks to uncover the multifaceted relation of textuality with voice, and points to the body of the codex as a malleable agent for expressing cultural variance. This research has led to the discovery of Sephardic undercurrents and other components from the historical contexts that have never been considered before. This study, also, presents an innovative approach to historical research that integrates the digital sciences with the study of manuscripts.
