- Materialitat i errors de composició d?un incunable poètic (b2/87FD) : la rendibilitat ecdòtica(2019) Martos Sánchez, Josep LluísThe material analysis of the witnesses of a literary work is part of the phase of recension in a process of textual criticism,which must go beyond the mere description of the content. It is necessary to pay attention to the information that thesecharacteristics give about the contents, about the process of textual transmission, because these data will have ecdoticvalue. Thus, this work studies the materiality and compositorial errors of a Valencian poetical incunabulum, which is thefirst of a trilogy of printed works dedicated to the Immaculate Conception and sponsored by Ferran Dies.
- Foundations and Foundation Myths of the Troubadours(2019) Pfeffer, WendyA review of several origin myths relating to the creation of medieval Occitan lyric poetry. We see a preference for a ?great man theory? of origins, though the ?great man? may be a fictional woman. Medieval and early Renaissance Occitan authors, including Uc de Saint Circ, Guilhem Molinier, and Jean de Nostredame, used differing origin myths to validate literature in a language that was perceived not to carry the prestige of twelfth- and thirteenth-century Latin or fifteen- and sixteenth-century French.

- Bartomeu de Tresbens, metge i astròleg de Pere el Cerimomiós : aproximació biogràfica i diplomatari(2019) Ferragud, Carmel; Giralt Soler, SebastiàA biographical approach to Bertomeu de Tresbens, a physician and astrologer who worked for King Pere el Cerimoniósof Aragon and for his son infant Joan, later known as Joan I el Caçador. This biography is built on a thorough reseachbased on all documentation on him found in archives ?principally in the Archive of the Crown of Aragon?, as well ason the information contained in all his astrology works. We place Tresbens in his Occitan origin and in the economic,political and social contexts of the time when he had been documented in territories of the Crown of Aragon. Thus, theman behind the most important Catalan oeuvre on astrology is brought to light. We have studied particularly his careerregarding his relationship with the monarchy and with the town of Cervera, whose local government planned to employhim as a physician. Finally, we present an original edition of all documentation found in archives regarding Tresbens usedin this paper.
- El lai ?Si bé, Fortuna, has dat lo torn? : Edició crítica del poema en català de la novel·la "Triste deleitación"(2019) Marfany i Simó, MartaThe Castilian novel Triste deleitación, written in the late fifteenth century by an author from the Crown of Aragon,includes several letters and poems. One of these poems, ?Sy bé, Fortuna, as dat lo torn?, is written in Catalan. This articlepresents the poem?s annotated critical edition, which reports how it is indebted to the Catalan lyrical tradition. Writtenin an evolved form of the French lai cultivated by various Catalan poets, the poem is clearly influenced by Pere Torroella?slai ?Qui volrà veure un pobre estat?, and linked to two other similar lais also dependent on Torroella?s. This edition iscompleted by a translation into modern Catalan.
