Jordi de Sant Jordi uses more than thirty comparisons in his lyric poetry. These may be classified on the basis of their typology and semantic functions: true comparisons (where two elements are compared by means of a connector, the first being defined as ‘real’ and corresponding to the situation of the lyric persona, the second, figurative, presenting in metaphorical terms the same characteristics as the first element); comparisons between the ‘real’ situation and that of an unspecified human being, to which reference is made by means of the demonstrative ‘the one’ («axí com cell...»); hyperbolic comparisons, where the ‘real’ element is given hyperbolically as having to the same or to a greater extent a quality for which the second element is the example par excellence (‘stronger than Hercules’). Finally, we have identified a particular figure —which we have called an ‘abbreviated priamel’— whereby two situations are given between which the lyric persona must choose, stating that it prefers one and not the other.

Análisis de las traducciones tempranas de Ausiás March y otros clásicos valencianos de las letras catalanas medievales y de las primeras exégesis sobre ellos (Jordi de Sant Jordi, Tirant lo Blanch y Joan Roís de Corella). En especial se atiende a los trabajos al respecto de Bastero y de su La Crusca Provenzale, obra fundamental para la primera difusión exterior de tales autores y, en concreto, para darlos a conocer en la Italia de la Ilustración. Sus opiniones y sus traducciones (fragmentarias) de tales autores sirvieron para establecer el «canon» de su recepción y comprensión en Italia. Se trata de un trabajo interdisciplinar que atiende tanto a elementos de traducción, como de recepción literarias., Analysis of early translations of Ausiàs March and other Valencian classics of Medieval Catalán Literature and of the first exégesis about them (Jordi de Sant Jordi, Tirant lo Blanch and Joan Rois de Corella). It is paid special attention to the works in coimection with Bastero and his work La Crusca Provenzale, a fundamental work for the first external diffusion of these authors, and, specifically, for making themself known during the Enlightenment in Italy. Their opinions and their (fragmentary) translations are useful to establish the «canon» of their reception and comprehension in Italy. This is an interdisciplanary work that takes into account both translation and literary reception elements.

On the basis of the documental evidence presented in the Appendix, the author asserts the fact that the poet Jordi de Sant Jordi died in Barcelona –probably in the Royal Palace– between the 12th and the 15th of june 1424.

The paper analyses the presence of Petrarch in medieval catalan lyric poetry, which can be found in remarkably early dates. Catalan poets seem to be interested in texts that closely fit the autochthonous tradition. The Chancellery and its related circle are suggested as the foremost spreading centres of RVF and the Triumphi, which do not take a long time to be understood as a complement of his philosophical and moral work., El artículo analiza la presencia de Petrarca en la lírica catalana medieval, que se detecta en fecha notablemente temprana. Los poetas catalanes parecen interesados en aquellos textos que se ajustan con mayor facilidad a la tradición autóctona. Se sugiere la cancillería y círculos afines como principal centro difusor de los RVF y de los Triumphi, que no tardan en ser leídos como un complemento de su obra filosófica y moral.
