Publishing Juan de Mena: an overview of the editorial traditions

Abstract

This study traces the editorial traditions of the works of Juan de Mena from 1483 through 1590 and shows the geographical and chronological distribution of editions, paying particular attention to the mise en recueil of his poetic works. It then analyzes the mise en page of the editions, with particular analysis of the 1552 Antwerp editions. The article includes a catalog of editions with sigla according to the norms of the CIM project, and two tables comparing editorial production by work and year, and the distribution of editions by place.
