f Nuevas perspectivas en torno al Bursario de Juan Rodríguez del Padrón

Paris: BnF, ms. esp. 533 has heretofore passed unnoticed: it contains, however, a new witness to Juan Rodríguez del Padrón’s Bursario, a fifteenth-century translation from a medieval version of Ovid’s Heroides, which forms part of the Versus bursarii. I discuss the status quaestionis, provide some notes towards a possible dating, and offer a resolution of the status of the allegorical gloss of Pero Guillén’s copla, which is found in the only full witness known so far. Finally we put forward some details which aid in the evaluation of the value of this new witness within the manuscript tradition of the work.
