Description
Summary:Traditionally, philologists have found manuscript 15 of the Real Academia Espanola in Madrid (RAE 15) interesting from an editorial perspective, but typically they have studied its copy of El Conde Lucanor in isolation from the other scripts bound together with it in the codex. Eugenio Krapf went so far as to claim in his introduction to El libro de Patronio that this codex was el mas Ilano and primordial of all those containing El Conde Lucanor. Here, Burgoyne examines the physical evidence of this codex and arrive at a better understanding of how El Conde Lucanor was received and put to use by its late medieval and early modern readers through a study of the organizing principles at work in RAE 15.
