The present work explores the links between the romance ‘Yo me estaba reposando’ by Juan del Encina, included in his Cancionero of 1496, which enjoyed a long fortune, as demonstrated by a textual tradition as varied as it is articulated, and one of the summits of mystical poetry: Noche oscura (Dark Night) by San Juan de la Cruz. The affinities between the two texts help us to delve deeper into the role of the cultured and popular poetry of the autumn of the Middle Ages as a source of inspiration for the Carmelite, shedding new light on some of the keys to his lyric poetry.
Il presente lavoro esplora i legami tra il romance “Yo me estaba reposando” di Juan del Encina, inclusa nel suo Cancionero del 1496, che godette di una lunga fortuna, come dimostra una tradizione testuale tanto varia quanto articolata, e uno dei vertici della poesia mistica: Noche oscura di San Juan de la Cruz. Le affinità tra i due testi ci aiutano ad approfondire il ruolo della poesia colta e popolare dell'autunno del Medioevo come fonte di ispirazione per il carmelitano, gettando nuova luce su alcuni aspetti della sua lirica.

Abstract
The present work explores the links between the romance ‘Yo me estaba reposando’ by Juan del Encina, included in his Cancionero of 1496, which enjoyed a long fortune, as demonstrated by a textual tradition as varied as it is articulated, and one of the summits of mystical poetry: Noche oscura (Dark Night) by San Juan de la Cruz. The affinities between the two texts help us to delve deeper into the role of the cultured and popular poetry of the autumn of the Middle Ages as a source of inspiration for the Carmelite, shedding new light on some of the keys to his lyric poetry.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
