Abstract

Abstract Aristocrat and diplomat Bernardino de Rebolledo regularly resorted to the printing press to disseminate his verses and materially shape them in books. More idiosyncratically, indeed a novelty in Spain at the time, he also reviewed the process that lead to the publication of his complete works. As an amateur writer, his use of the printing press and his entering the book market were remarkably free of economic reasons. The publication of Rebolledo's works illustrates the distance between the oral, courtly practice of poetry and its materialization in a book, a process that stands both as an obstacle and a springboard in the development of authorial conscience and of the idea of poet.
