Critical revision of the edition by L.P. Gachard of Lettres de Philippe II a ses filles les Infantes Isabelle et Catherine: écrites pendant son voyage en Portugal (1581-1583) and evolution of later editions in the 20th century

Abstract

Grounding on the documents Lettres de Philippe II a ses filles les Infantes Isabelle et Catherine: écrites pendant son voyage en Portugal (1581-1583) edited by L.P. Gachard, we expect to revise critically the methodology used for the editions of the texts by the Belgian historian in the second half of the xix century. This documentation was published in 1884 and reprinted by Luisa Elena del Portillo Díaz around 1943 and then by the Spanish historian Fernando Bouza in 1988. It is our intention to revise Gachard’s edition in the light of new editions, paths and progresses, if any, in the edition of one text over a century.
