Fragmentos españoles de la Vulgata de 1-2 Macabeos: el fragmento de Vich y la Biblia de Valvanera; edición y estudio

Abstract

This study presents a first-time critical edition and analysis of two Spanish fragments of the Vulgate 1-2 Macabees. Both readings shed new light on two different aspects dealing with the tenth- and eleventh-century Vulgate Latin version of the Bible in Spain. The first fragment dates from the eleventh century, and is part of the Vich Episcopal Museum collection (fragment XIII/19, fol. 8). A fragmentary text from 1 Macabees 1,46-2,12 is an example of the type of Vulgate text employed in eleventh-century Catalonia. The second fragment derives from the lost Valvanera Bible, parts of the Vulgate text of which have been conserved in sparse marginal glosses copied by H. del Castillo in 1571. These glosses are located in the Escorial incunabulum 54.V.35.
