Editando a Violante do Céu: una propuesta ecdótica para los poemas en castellano

Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for editing criteria for the Spanish-language poetry of Violante do Céu (1607-1693), which forms part of the Parnaso lusitano (Lisbon, 1733). For this purpose, the 72 sonnets written in Spanish in the first of the two volumes of this work have been analyzed as a sample. The editing criteria presented are based on relevant research in the field of textual criticism, as well as other proposals for the graphic fixation of texts from the Siglos de Oro. In accordance with these sources, we propose, as a general guideline, a modernization of the graphic contexts without linguistic repercussions. However, certain graphic contexts of Sister Violante's poetry in Spanish are maintained, reflecting variants of the language of the time and, in certain cases, the linguisticuses typical of the Dominican order, as well as the morphological Lusitanisms that appear in the Portuguese author's poetic production in Spanish.
