Abstract Details

2022, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Spanish and Portuguese.
The purpose of this doctoral dissertation is to offer a proposal for a digital edition of the Cantigas de Santa María according to the principles of the New Philology. After studying the materiality of the codices that have preserved the Alfonsine collections of Marian miracles, the codices known as Códice de Toledo, Códice Rico, Códice de Florencia y Códice de los músicos, there are two aspects about the nature of the work and its manuscripts that become apparent. First, the codices of the Cantigas de Santa María represent three different collections of songs dedicated to the Virgin Mary. As such, each manuscript should be edited on its own and the resulting edition should include all contents of the codices, and not only the Cantigas de Santa María proper. As a collection of songs, the presence of musical notation is indispensable in an edition. The second important aspect that transpires from the study of the materiality of the manuscripts is the different functions each of them has and the different modes of reading that they facilitate, which should be transformed into a digital environment. These are a reading for memorization and an encyclopedic reading. The first is evidenced by the size that the musical notation occupies on the page, its only partial inclusion in association with the text, and in the presence of several aspects related to the grammar of legibility of the codices, in which its images are included. The encyclopedic reading is also apparent in the grammar of legibility, which facilitates the location of any given cantiga. Finally, when establishing the text, as songs, performability should be the guiding criteria. Following the principles of the New Philology, the manuscript variants will be studied in their own right to determine to what extent they are susceptible to being included in an edition. Some interventions show evidence of being conscious, while others seem to be mechanical errors; the former should be kept in an edition while the latter should be emended. The digital environment makes transparency in editorial interventions straightforward since they can be marked up in a TEI document and signaled in a different format in the presentation. The digital environment makes the emendation of editorial decisions relatively uncomplicated, especially in comparison to paper editions, while allowing the presentation of a variety of versions of the edition – a transcription, an edition, etc. –, in addition to some aspects of the materiality of texts, such as the miniatures. I propose a project of the edition of the manuscripts in three states: intratextual or of the codices; intertextual, showing the relations among the manuscripts and hyperlinking them to the sources, editions prepared after the eighteenth century, or performances or the song, and finally, extratextual, so that the Cantigas de Santa María and the collections of Marian miracles can be seen in the context of Marian devotion.
