El orden cronológico en el que queda estructurada ha querido que quien lo inicie sea Carlos Alvar con un estudio donde nos muestra el tratamiento paródico y burlesco que recibieron personajes como el ...rey Arturo, lady Ginebra y el mago Merlín en la literatura medieval castellana. Ángel Gómez Moreno, a su vez, fija su atención en las probationes calami que aparecen recogidas en los márgenes de textos medievales tardíos, dándoles el valor intrínseco, justificativo y testimonial que durante tanto tiempo se les ha negado. De la mano de José Carlos González Boixo nos adentramos en el mito de El Dorado a través de Pedro de Cieza, analizando la importancia que este autor tuvo en la búsqueda de un territorio fantástico y quimérico, gracias a una crónica entremezclada de glorias y desgracias. Jean Canavaggio justifica por qué «ese lugar de la Mancha», del que parte don Quijote, es conveniente que siga siendo una incógnita, para evitar apropiaciones locales que más tienen que ver con deseos personalistas que con argumentaciones filológicas. Con una orientación interdisciplinar, Augustin Redondo examina la presencia del cerdo en la primera parte del Quijote, un animal que cobra significados contradictorios especialmente si se aborda en relación a Sancho Panza, don Quijote y Dulcinea. Rosa Navarro, por su parte, nos presenta el hipotético librito de memoria que pudiera tener Cervantes a raíz de las lecturas que refleja en sus escritos.
This article initiates research into the underlying reasons for the disappearance of late medieval moral-didactic texts in Middle Dutch, such as Dat Scaecspel and Kaetspel ghemoraliseert, by ...examining their developments on the printing press. Despite enjoying substantial circulation between 1400 and 1540, many of these cultural significant texts ceased to be published after the press was fully established (c. 1540). This study adopts a receptionoriented approach to explore the shift of several moral-didactic texts from manuscript to print, as well as the developments during the early period of print (c. 1450-1540). The reception of the printed book implied an expansion of the initial target audience to include lower social classes, combined with a slow conversion from collective listening to more individualized reading practices. Consequently, printer-publishers introduced structural elements to facilitate independent reading processes. This article aims to analyze these renewed reader’s aids and to contextualize the developments of late medieval moral-didactic texts. Therefore, this article focuses on the formatting of such texts and its reception, examining the presence and use of tables of content, columns, illustrations, prose, and punctuation.
Both in eastern and western countries, in monuments of ancient and medieval literature, the detective's elements appear. Literary critics note that in works of the famous writer E. Poe, it is ...considered this literary genre. Detective literature of the Far East countries developed, generally under the influence of works by the western authors. In this work, detective literature of Korea, China and Japan will be considered. When writing this work, the authors used the following methods of research: descriptive, comparative-historical and comparative.

A longstanding enigma in the criticism of The Dream of the Rood concerns the identity of the dreamer who receives the vision of the cross on which Christ was crucified. Questions such as who he is ...and why he in particular has received this dream are not easily answered based on the few details provided in the extant poem. Here, Xu and Wei argue that the poem contains some clues to the identity of the dreamer that acquire greater significance when read in connection with the story of Caedmon and an episode from the Old English Daniel. By triangulating between Caedmon, Daniel, and The Dream of the Rood, they suggest how early medieval audiences might have understood the dreamer and associated him with a paradigmatic type of speaker in Old English poetry.
La rhétorique de la première modernité a-t-elle ignoré le prosimètre ? L’on sait qu’elle n’a pas gardé la mémoire du prosimetrum médiéval, ce terme introduit par les artes dictaminis pour décrire une ...expérimentation singulière du vers mêlé de prose. Laissant donc de côté les vers mêlés de prose, la rhétorique de la première modernité prend ainsi en charge la prose mêlée de vers. Qu’entendelle exactement par là ? Vaugelas énonce pour tout le siècle une distinction fondamentale, peu rappelée et pourtant constamment opératoire, entre deux situations d’énonciation qui sont cardinales pour notre propos en ce qu’elles gouvernent deux ensembles de réflexions hétérogènes sur le prosimètre.

The Low Countries in the early Middle Ages. Christianity is on the rise, partly due to the efforts of missionaries such as Willibrord and Boniface. Yet the process of Christianisation is laborious. ...This is well illustrated in Vita Radbodi, a tenth-century Latin biography of bishop Radboud of Utrecht (c. 850-917). In it, Radboud is depicted as a pious, serious and studious young man, who is called to the episcopate after many years of study. As bishop, he encounters problems with unbelieving Frisians and ferocious Normans. Thus, he is forced to move his seat from Utrecht to the safer Deventer. The text offers a positive portrait of Radboud as a holy role model figure. He acts energetically, performs miracles and, of course, also possesses prophetic gifts. For instance, he predicts his own end well in time. The text ends with a vision of the Mother of God and Radboud's death and burial. Some twenty years after the first edition by Peter Nissen and Vincent Hunink, the text is now being reissued on the occasion of Radboud University's centenary.
