Artículo de acceso abierto distribuido bajo una Licencia Creative Commons Atribución 4.0 Internacional (CC-BY 4.0). / Open access article under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY 4.0). Resumen: Se analiza el vínculo entre algunos epitalamios neolatinos y las relaciones de sucesos de los siglos XV y XVI. Ello permite establecer los límites entre la ficción poética y la historia. Palabras clave: poesía neolatina; epitalamio; relaciones de sucesos; ficción poética; historia. Abstrat: This article studies the link between some neo-Latin epithalamia and the accounts of events written in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This allows to differentiate poetic fiction from history.
This article analyzes the antiepithalamium included in the poem Dirae written by Pedro Ruiz de Moros.

Los versos de Virgilio y Catulo son fuente de un rito nupcial romano que consistía en el lanzamiento de nueces durante la procesión nupcial (deductio). Sin embargo, los comentaristas y gramáticos antiguos no sabían con exactitud el sentido de este acto simbólico. En este artículo se repasan las hipótesis antiguas y su recepción en la crítica posterior, con especial atención al simbolismo de la fertilidad.

En la vindicación juanramoniana del arte de lo breve suele apreciarse una suerte de declaración poética que casa perfectamente con la esencia del microrrelato (Gómez Trueba 2009). En efecto, su “basta lo suficiente” ha devenido eficaz proclama de una forma de narración que aspira al fulgor estelar de un cometa. No poco contribuye a ese fulgor el poder expansivo de la alusión, pues, como si de ondas generadas por la piedra en el estanque se tratase, el relato puede ampliar sus límites referenciales gracias al recurso de la intertextualidad (Valls 2008: 24-25; Andres-Suárez 2010: 79-104)1. Este afán por lo “breve expandido” ya estimulaba a los poetas griegos del período helenístico y a sus imitadores latinos. Calímaco de Cirene, adalid de una escuela preocupada por la innovación, la calidad artística y la perfección formal, dejó escrita, para escándalo de los amigos de la copiosidad, la célebre sentencia mega biblion, mega kakon (“Un libro grande es un mal grande”)2. En la década de l...

Este trabajo revisa los comentarios latinos de varios autores (siglo XV al XVIII) que intentan explicar el sentido del symbolum pitagórico A fabis abstineto, tomando como referencia principal los Adagia de Erasmo de Rotterdam y su influencia en la tradición. El elenco de autores es amplio, entre los que cabe destacar a Filippo Beroaldo, Lilio Gregorio Giraldi, Gregorio Giraldi, Piero Valeriano, Konrad Gesner y Johann Albert Brömel. Las hipótesis varían en función de la moralidad cristiana o de la formación del autor, si bien se modulan generalmente sobre las cinco tipos de argumentos ofrecidos por los escritores griegos y romanos: político (no implicarse en política); religioso-escatológico (no tocar lo que es sagrado ni, mucho menos, comer aquello que contiene el alma de los muertos); generativo (una derivación del anterior, pues en la Antigüedad se creía que los muertos ejercían una acción benefactora sobre los campos y la fecundidad humana); cosmogónico (relacionado con el anterior: de la podredumbre inicial surgió el hombre y germinó el haba); natural o dietético.

This paper deals with the two main translations into Spanish of the work entitled De rerum inuentoribus by Polidorus Virgilius, both of which were published in the 16th century. Furthermore, several testimonies from Spanish writers and scholars have been analysed in order to show that the Italian humanist was considered as an authority from the 16th to the 18th century. Nevertheless, in some cases Polidorus’ auctoritas was treated with derision.

In classical literature the description of the spring is often associated with the `locus amoenus.´ Given the encomiastic character of the Latin epithalamia written during the Roman imperial period, some poets added this description to highlight the idea that nature itself was at the disposal of the spouses. At the same time, the spring flowers were a symbolic prelude of sexual union. The Neolatin epithalamium has inherited this legacy.
