Una nueva versión de Execración por la fe católica de Quevedo, en un manuscrito de la Biblioteca de la Real Colegiata de Roncesvalles

The Library of the «Real Colegiata de Roncesvalles», at Navarra, conserves a manuscript which contains a second copy of Francisco de Quevedo’s Execración por la fe católica (1633), besides another texts of this author. This work is only known in one version, that of the manuscript of the Library of the «Real Consulado de A Coruña», discovered in 1992. Until this year, the text, mentioned by Quevedo’s first biographer, Pablo de Tarsia, was considered lost. The new copy has an evident textual interest, because it demonstrates that this work had not a restricted diffusion, and it involves to change the basis of a future critical edition: Execración is not a work with a single version anymore; and the two copies are different, because there are about five hundred variants, some of them even on the title of this «memorial».
