Finding the accurate date of texts is one of the most puzzling challenges in the study of Spanish aurisecular theater. Stylometry, the computer technique centered on the comparison of texts based on their writing, which has been successfully used in recent years to solve authorship questions, can also serve to shed light on this issue. In this…[Read more]

Claramonte is one of the playwrights who has had the most unusual fate in our theatrical heritage. Reviled by early scholars as a plagiarist, recaster and, ultimately, a second-order author, in recent decades he has reemerged as a possible author of capital works of our theatre. Using stylometric techniques that have been proven to be effective…[Read more]

This article proposes the inclusion in Lope’s repertoire of La francesa Laura, a comedia preserved in an anonymous manuscript of the BNE, never before related to the playwright. The investigation started thanks to the results of the process in the Transkribus and ETSO platforms, which pointed out the close relationship of the lexicon with the…[Read more]

La datación supone una de las cuestiones con más interrogantes en el estudio del teatro aurisecular español. La estilometría, técnica informática basada en la comparación de textos en función de sus usos escriturales y que está utilizándose con aparente acierto en los últimos años para arrojar luz sobre el problema de la autoría, puede servir…[Read more]

Claramonte es uno de los dramaturgos que más extraña suerte ha corrido de nuestro patrimonio teatral. Vilipendiado por los primeros estudiosos como plagiario, refundidor y, en definitiva, autor de segundo orden, en las últimas décadas ha resurgido como posible responsable de obras capitales de nuestro teatro. A través del empleo de técnicas estil…[Read more]

La refundición supone un fenómeno recurrente en el teatro aurisecular español. Existen numerosos casos en los que un dramaturgo parte de un texto previo y lo modifica para conformar una nueva obra reutilizando un cierto número de versos. En ocasiones, el paso del tiempo confunde la obra primigenia con la refundición y resulta complicado esta…[Read more]

Does “authorship” still have a place in the study of the Hebrew Bible? Historical criticism has long sought to uncover the human authors behind the biblical texts. But how might the “death of the author,” so forcefully declared by Roland Barthes over fifty years ago, change the contours of this search? This volume brings together leading experts…[Read more]

This work provides new insights into the relationship between the Holiness legislation in Leviticus 17–26 and processes of cultic centralization in the Persian period. The author departs from the classical theory that Leviticus 17–26 merely presume, with minor modifications, a concept of centralization articulated in Deuteronomy. She shows how Lev…[Read more]

Un elevado porcentaje de impresos y manuscritos teatrales del periodo aurisecular no ha sido nunca transcrito en un formato analógico ni, por supuesto, digital. Es imposible, por tanto, emplear estos documentos para realizar búsquedas de nuestro interés o para los valiosos análisis informáticos (estilometría, topic modelling, detección de sentim…[Read more]
