Abstract

This M.A. thesis offers the first modern annotated edition of Juan Perez de Montalban's auto sacramental Escanderbech. It consists of: (A) An Introductory study which consists of the following sections: (1) a brief history of the life and works of Juan Perez de Montalban; (2) general survey of the development of the auto sacramental, (the Spanish sacramental play or mystery play in honour of the Eucharist), as a literary genre; (3) the composition, performance and sources of the auto Escanderbech; (4) an analysis of the auto sacramental Escanderbech with special emphasis on its allegorical nature; (5) notes on the Introductory study. (B) The edited text of Escanderbech (based on the text in Para Todos). The spelling and punctuation have been modernized, except where pronunciation would otherwise have been affected. (C) (1) Philological notes, where biblical, mythological and historical allusions are adequately pointed out and other structures that might present semantic or syntactic difficulties have been explained; (2) abbreviations used in the philological notes; (3) an index of words commented in the philological notes; (4) an index of proper nouns. (D) Bibliography which will facilitate future study of the auto.
