Zusammenfassung: | The Epistola exhortatoria a las letras is presented not just a representative model of the letter writing genre but also as a literary document encompassing some of the most relevant aspects of Humanism in Castile at the end of the 15th century: the concept of leisure, the importance of science and knowledge, the defense of the Latin language (supported by the mention to the time dedicated in their spare moments to learning this discipline by both Fernan Alvarez, the recipient of the letters, and Queen Isabel I); the mental prayer, close to the concept of devotio moderna; the use of sales and of witticism; the literary language itself, very refined and rich in contrasts, endowed with a peculiar style and an expressiveness (through the use of severitas and iocunditas, together with words of educated and popular character) that vouch for the maturity that the language of Castile had already reached at that time. Keywords: Juan de Lucena, Castilian language, Humanism, Fernan Alvarez, Isabella I. La Epistola exhortatoria a las letras se ofrece no solo como modelo representativo del genero epistolar, sino como documento literario que recoge algunos de los aspectos mas relevantes del Humanismo castellano de finales del siglo XV: el concepto de ocio, la importancia de la ciencia y del saber, la defensa del latin--a la sombra de las horas que tanto el receptor de su misiva, Fernan Alvarez, como la reina Isabel, dedican a su estudio en los ratos libres--; la oracion mental, proxima al concepto de devotio moderna; el uso de sales y de facecias; la lengua literaria, en fin, muy cuidada y rica en contrastes, donde la severitas y la iocunditas, junto a voces de caracter culto y popular, le confieren un estilo singular y una expresividad que muestran la madurez que el castellano habia alcanzado en esos momentos. Palabras clave: Juan de Lucena, castellano, humanismo, Fernan Alvarez, Isabel I. |
