Summary
The present checklist is the second in a series devoted to documenting the scope of vernacular commentaries and glosses on Castilian literary and religious texts during the later Middle Ages, a transformative period in the history of vernacular literary culture. Although the vast majority of the works included derive from the fifteenth century, the chronological span of these lists runs from the mid-fourteenth (with Juan García de Castrojeriz's commentary on Aegidius Romanus' De regimine principum) to the end of the post-incunable period (with works such as the parodic commentary on the Carajicomedia, composed 1506-19). The series starts with a checklist devoted to commentaries and glosses on Castilian authors (with entries numbered A1, A2, etc), such as Juan de Mena, Diego de Valera, Santillana, and Gomez Manrique, some of whom glossed their own works. Manuscripts and printed editions of the classics in Castilian translation are covered in the current list (B), while the third (C) documents ‘modern classics’ (translations of Aegidius Romanus, Maimonides, Dante, Petrarch, and others), and the fourth (D) deals with commentaries and glosses on patristic and religious works (for example, biblical translations, Augustine, Gregory). The final list (E) documents a small corpus of auxiliary works, such as Villena's Doze de trabajos de Hércules, or Castilian versions of Ovide moralise and Boccaccio's De genealogia deorum gentilium, which, although not commentaries in the strict sense, constitute models of allegorical exegesis and fundamental mythographic reference tools for the lay reader.
