Tres pliegos poéticos con obras compuestas o compiladas por Ausiàs Izquierdo

Résumé

We edit and study seven devotional poems composed or compiled by Ausiàs Izquierdo. All them were printed in 1561-1562 in three poetic chapbooks, attributed to the Valencian printing of Joan Navarro, which today are part of a volume of the Biblioteca Comunale Augusta in Perugia (shelf mark: [IL 1402]). Four of the seven works were known in the field of Hispanic literature through a chapbook entitled Coplas en loor del seráfico padre san Francisco (1587) and a Cancionero de Nuestra Señora (1591), printed both in Barcelona, the first one by Hubert Gotart and the second one by the widow of the same printer. Belonging to the tradition of devotional adaptations of previous songs and refrains, the other three poems are less known. These three chapbooks not only transmit the oldest known testimonies of these poems, but also provide further news on an author whose work was largely relegated to indirect and often confusing information
