Abstract

en_US This is a strange publication to add to the translations of Libro de Buen Amor that I have reviewed recently: Kane (1933), Mignani and Di Cesare (1970), and Daly (1978). Is this a privately financed book? Done by a group or program at the University of Wisconsin? Its title-page is identical with its cover. The pages throughout are from typewritten originals. After a few pages of introduction (v-x), it marches through the text in rhyming quatrains, adding only a single page of notes afterwards (165). Then on 169-81 we find an introduction to and translation of Pamphilus, a source and model for Libro de Buen Amor. I have read the first four or five fables in Ruiz' work to get a sense of this translation. The rhyme seems to bend the syntax and word-order a good deal, and there are frequent apostrophes marking dropped syllables. It would be fascinating to learn the circumstances of this book's coming to be.
