Emergence of a Handwritten Copy of Five of the Seven Long Religious Latin Poems by Domingo de Andrés

Abstract

In this paper we present the emergence of a notebook with a handwritten copy of five of the seven long religious poems by Domingo Andrés carried out in August, 1915, by Don Manuel Lopez, coadjutor of Mosen Vicente Bardaviu in the village Albalate del Arzobispo in Teruel. The copy also contains texts from the now lost first eclogue by the poet from Alcañiz, as well as two items of great importance by Bardaviu: first, a complete description of the autograph from which all those poems were copied, and, secondly, a great annotation of Father Sancho’s error mistaking the De mutuo Dei et Virginis Matris amore libri III with the first lost eclogue. Finally, our research also reveals that Domingo Andrés autograph copy that Bardaviu decided to publish in 1915, helped the author in the later development of the two parts of his article on the poet from Alcañiz published in 1924 and 1925, respectively, in the Boletín de la Biblioteca de Menéndez y Pelayo.
