Abstract
Dentro del rico panorama poético de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI español, existe una larga serie de autores cuya obra es poco conocida. En muchos casos, el testimonio de su producción poética es muy escaso; en otros, la diferencia de calidad ha sido la causante de que se les preste menos atención, englobándolos dentro de la clasificación de “poetas menores”. Sin embargo, el acercamiento detenido a este conjunto de versos puede aportarnos valiosos conocimientos en la comprensión del fenómeno poético en un siglo en el que la poesía – a pesar de lo que Lomas dice en su prólogo – tenía una posición de privilegio y estima. En algunos casos podemos encontrar también grandes aciertos poéticos que habían pasado desapercibidos, y quizá esta línea de investigación nos depare aún el descubrimiento de algún manuscrito de poetas menores que haya que incluir en las primeras filas de la literatura. Con esta idea de fondo, y orientada por el profesor Antonio Prieto, abordé el estudio y la edición de la obra de Jerónimo de Lomas Cantoral. El poeta vallisoletano tiene el interés de ser uno de los pocos que publica su obra en vida, por lo que los criterios de ordenación de sus composiciones son los que el propio autor dispuso, de acuerdo a su planteamiento y a los cánones poéticos de la época. Además de unas cuantas composiciones sueltas, no he podido encontrar más rastro de la actividad poética de Lomas que el que nos ofrece en sus Obras, aunque es muy posible que diera más frutos que, como los de muchos de sus compañeros de generación, desconocemos. El primer objetivo de mi trabajo fue, por tanto, realizar una edición de los poemas de Lomas, basándome en la editio princeps de 1578, después de haber comprobado, tras la consulta de varios ejemplares guardados en distintas bibliotecas, que no había ningún indicio que nos llevara a pensar en la existencia de otras ediciones o versiones...
Within the rich poetic scenery of the second half of the Spanish 16th Century, there is a large series of authors whose work remains hardly known. In many cases, the testimony of their poetic output is very limited; in others the difference in quality has been the cause of their being more or less ignored and thus, included into the classification of "minor poets". Nevertheless, looking closely into the collection of their verses can provide us with valuable knowledge in the comprehension of their poetic phenomenon, in a century in which poetry, in spite of what Lomas states in his prologue, had a position of privilege and esteem. In some cases we can also come across great and skillful poetic works that went unnoticed. This line of investigation is likely to provide us with the discovery of some manuscripts of minor poets which would have to be included in first rank literature. Using this idea as background and guided by Professor Antonio Prieto, I committed myself to the study and edition of the work of Jerónimo de Lomas Cantoral. Born in Valladolid, this poet has the special interest of being one of the few authors to publish his work during his lifetime. Hence, the arrangement criteria of his compositions are the ones the author himself decided, in accordance with his plan and the poetic canons which existed at that time. Apart from some loose compositions, I have been unable to find any more traces of Lomas' poetic activity other than the one he offers in his Obras, although it is very likely that he produced many more works which, like those of many of his colleagues, remain unknown to us. The main objective of my project was, therefore, to make an edition of Lomas’ poems, taking as a base the editio princeps of 1578. After having consulted several copies kept in different libraries I verified that there was no sign which could lead us to think of the existence of other editions or versions.
