Español para italófonos: una gramática desconocida, anónima y porteña (1885)

In general, for grammaticographical studies, it is essential to know the greatest number of works of each tradition as possible, as well as reliable and complete information on each edition of these works. This knowledge is provided to the community by presenting such works in texts that rigorously respect the scientific criteria imposed by the discipline. This study does exactly this: to present an anonymous text of the tradition of Spanish for Italian speakers published in Buenos Aires in 1885. It contains relevant catalographical data, the known elements upon the author and the editor, the hierarchical structure of the grammar, the elements of its body, the terminology used, the typographic variety of texts, the adopted teaching sequences, the sources of texts, the location of the known copies, the influences exerted by the text on subsequent works and a series of critical considerations arising from the analyzed data.
