Delbrugge, Laura, A critical edition of Andrés de Li's Reportorio de los tiempos, 1495 (Spain, fifteenth century), Tesi doctoral de la Pennsylvania State University, 1996.

Resum

This is a critical edition of a late fifteenth-century Spanish almanac entitled the Reportorio de los tiempos, by Andrés de Li. In the present edition, the Zaragoza: Hurus, 1495 imprint has been prepared for scholarly use, including: introductory material concerning the history of printing; the tradition of the Reportorio as a printedwork; the biographies of both the author and his source, Bernat de Granollachs; discussions of almanac texts and their development throughout the centuries; and linguistic analysis of the language of the Reportorio. Following this introductory material is an edition of the Spanish almanac, complete with explanatory footnotes and textual analysis.

The Reportorio de los tiempos contains many different types of information, including agricultural, mythological, astronomical, and ecclesiastical sources. It is a computus text, a collection of centuries of calendar developments and innovations. As a printedwork, the Reportorio represents an early stage in Spanish book production, and, as it was extremely popular, its rich history of reprints and editions affords the modern scholar of the history of books a chance to see the development of such a work from the late Middle Ages through the early modem period. Based on the Lunari of the Catalan Bernat de Granollachs, the Reportorio demonstrates the development of the text from its original form as a series of lunar charts to a longer, more fully-developed almanac at the hands of Andrés de Li.
