Abstract

TATO, Cleofé. A few Verses from a Love Letter dating from the 16th Century in some Probationes Calami. Acta poét [online]. 2011, vol.32, n.2, pp.233-254. ISSN 2448-735X.

This paper analyzes a love-letter written in verse by Diego de la Llana, a 16th Century author of whom only three compositions have survived. Special attention is paid to a probatio calami in a 16th Century codex, in which we were introduced to the first stanza and the beginning of the second one. This probatio calami suggests that this literary piece must have been more wide-spread than one would presume from the few preserved works.

Keywords : Diego de la Llana; probatio calami; love-letter in verse; 16th Century poetry.
