Abstract

The town charters of modern period, very abundant in the Valencian Country, mainly as a result of the repopulations that followed the expulsion of the Moriscos (1609), have not been studied so far from a linguistic point of view to a large extent because until a few years ago we did not have a significant repertoire of this type of documents. These are texts of legal linguistic variety that directly affected the life of an important part of the population —also, indirectly, the idea that people could have of their native language. This paper attempts to make a first approach to the study of Valencian town charters from the 17th century, evaluating the degree of persistence of the use of Valencian in these texts, as well as the persistence of traditional linguistic models.

Abstract

In this article we are given an overview of the written production of J. V. Ortí, a member of a family of Valencia public notaries who had connections with the municipal government during the XVII century. This author, in spite of his pro-Bourbon ideology stance, often used Catalan in his writings, all of which have been published for the first time.

Abstract

En aquest article s’estudien les fonts i els préstecs literaris que es poden detectar en «Lo Desengany», una notable peça dramàtica en dos actes escrita per Francesc Fontanella cap al 1650. Bon coneixedor de la literatura clàssica i de les iteratures més importants del seu temps (la castellana, la francesa i la italiana), Fontanella reflecteix en aquesta obra les seves lectures, i concretament les dels «Idil·lis» de Teòcrit, les «Metamorfosis» d’Ovidi, la «Farsàlia» de Lucà, «La Araucana» d’Alonso de Ercilla (1569-1589) o «L’illusion comique» de Pierre de Corneille (1636). També hi ha la influència de temes populars castellans (les «coplas de trescientas cosas más»), i coincidències que no suposen necessàriament una imitació, sinó una mateixa visió del món i de la literatura, compassa amb Luis de Góngora, Juan Ruiz de Alarcón («Las paredes oyen») o Calderón de la Barca («El mágico prodigioso»). Tot aquest repàs constitueix un bon exemple de com es va anar construint aquest gran patrimoni literari que és el barroc europeu.
