Marco Antonio Coronel Ramos

Classical Philology Professor_ Universitat de València

Julián Solana Pujalte, graduated (1976) and doctored in Classical Philology (1987) by the University of Sevilla. Full University Professor of baccalaureate (1977), tenured professor (1988), and since 2010 full university professor of Latin Philology in the UCO.

His first works dealt with prosody and the metrics of the Latin comedy (the iambic septenary of Plauto and Terence) of the medieval period (the poetry of Alcuin and Teodulf) and renaissance (Maffeo Vegio and the rhythm of the humanism prose). His investigation was later centred in the Renaissance Humanism, collaborating in the edition of the Completed Works of Juan Ginés of Sepúlveda (Epistolarum libri septem in 3 v., in collaboration with the professor García Pinilla; Antapology pro Alberto Pio in Erasmum) and in the study of the work of Erasmus of Rotterdam and his presence in Spain. Now works preferably in the private historical and institutional libraries of the 16th century and the presence in them of the works of the classics and humanisms. He has been main researcher of six projects of the I+D, three related with the edition of the works of Sepúlveda and the other three with the study of the presence of Erasmus in the Spanish libraries (Bibliotheca Erasmiana Hispanica, http://www.uco.es/humcor/behisp/).

Synopsis

Marcel Bataillon (1937;1966) centred, using Ricardo García Cárcel’s expression (1996;1998), in the study of “produced erasmism” or “author’s erasmism”, analising the presence of the work of Erasmus in the literature of the 16th and beginning of 17th centuries, from the Valdés brothers until Cervantes, path along which almost all subsequent research has moved. We will centre, following the terminology of García Cárcel, in the study of “consumers or readers eramism”, trying to know the material reception of Erasmus, which was produced through the particular libraries of the century, the most recent evidence that we have of his reading.
