Celestina y la «copia de sentencias entretejidas»

Abstract

Fernando de Rojas points out that one of the aspects that shocked him the most in the «aucto anónimo» was the «gran copia de sentencias entretejidas» he found in him. So it is not strange that Rojas mentioned her, since she was a usual way to read literary works taught in grammatical classes. This study will investigate that selecting process that involved the Tragicomedia too, according to the marginal notes made by an anonymous lector in Tragicomedia's volume founded in the Cigarral of Toledo, the comments established by the anonymous interpreter of the Celestina comentada and Gaspar von Barth (1624) considerations about these «sentencias entretejidas».
