Abstract
En este artículo se plantean algunos de los problemas bibliográficos que afectan de manera especial a los manuales de escritura de los siglos XVI y XVII. En ocasiones la propia estructura y características formales de estas obras, así como su diverso contenido y destinatarios, han sido la causa de una transmisión desigual de este tipo de obras, que han llegado a nosotros en un número escaso y en ejemplares incompletos o retocados. La compleja vida editorial de estos manuales comienza en la propia imprenta. Al estar constituidos por una parte textual y otra gráfica bien diferenciadas, es muy habitual la existencia de ejemplares diferentes dentro de una misma edición; diferentes estados que varían en el número de láminas o en el tratamiento de un tema incorporado tardíamente a la obra. En estas páginas hemos querido ilustrar algunos de esos desajustes: son sólo unos pocos ejemplos representativos y, por supuesto, incompletos.
This article poses some of the bibliographic problems that affected sixteenth and seventeenth century writing manuals. The structural and formal characteristics of these works, as well as their diverse content and readers, have often contributed to their uneven transmission; copies are scarce and reach us in incomplete or altered form. The complex editorial life of these manuals starts in the printshop itself. Since these books contain distinct textual and graphic components, different variants of the same edition often exist; the number and condition of the prints vary, as does the treatment of subjects incorporated later into the work. In the following pages we illustrate some of these inconsistencies, in the form of a few, representative examples that are, of course, incomplete.
