Bases para una edición crítica del <i>Libro de la caza de las aves</i> de Pero López de Ayala

Abstract

The Libro de la caza de las aves’ first edition (1869) was entrusted to Lafuente Alcántara but it was Gayangos who finally published the text. More than a hundred years would pass before the first critical editions appeared. Although Cummins’ (1986) and Montoto Delgado’s (1999) studies undoubtably offer valuable information, errors have been detected both in their methodology and in the interpretation of their data. In addition to this, the fact that new manuscripts have been discovered paves the way for a new critical edition, which will be published in a digital format using TEI (Text Encoding Initiative).
