De variantes de autor y copia de variantes: el caso de Padilla

The aim of the present work is to shed light on the relationship between the autograph letter space of Pedro de Padilla (Royal Library, II-1579) and one of the manuscripts that compiles many texts by the poet, and which is preserved in the Bartolomé March Library in Palma de Mallorca under the code MA26-5-08 (olim Ms. B90-V1-08). The constitution of the genetic and evolutionary apparatus of each poem makes it possible to establish the relationships that the autograph maintains with the other testimonies and to establish that, in the cases examined, the lesson as copied in the Mallorca codex reproduces the penultimate and not the last revision of the autograph, which means that this songbook does not incorporate the later amendments that Padilla introduced into his texts and which later converged in the printed editions of his works. This fact allows us to advance a series of considerations about the relationship between Padilla and the anonymous compiler of Palma’s anthology, and about the date of its composition.
