The present study provides new unpublished documents on clandestine insurgent poetry in New Spain, specifically in Puebla de los Angeles (1810-1812). The social crisis caused by the Napoleonic Invasion generated a series of very diverse billboards, cards and texts that, although not necessarily based on demonstrable sources, evidenced the need to incorporate anonymous voices and thoughts into dramatic events that threatened faith and the catholic monarchy. These criticisms, from the action of the vital axis of New Spain in defense of the Catholic monarchy, have been somewhat forgotten due to the difficulty of locating and accessing primary sources that:, as in this study, bring us closer to these expressions in order to analyse and insert these voices in the social processes of their context. In all of this, the need to legitimize its own identity --political and religious-- within the Catholic monarchy on that side of the Atlantic is observed, which clandestinely took verses as a spearhead and cultural expression in the face of the drama of an incipient Civil War.

In the drafting of the section on other acts of worship, and sacred places and times in the current Code, it was necessary to define and distinguish between canon and liturgical law in order to decide which canons were to be retained and which might be rewritten into the new text of the CIC. This paper explores the documents that deal with this subject, already known due to the publication of the proceedings, and presents fragments of other, previously unpublished documents, from the ‘minutes’ of the process stored in the archive of the Dicastery for Legislative Texts.

This article presents an unknown and unpublished text written by Quevedo, the Memorial de don Francisco de Quevedo Villegas dado a la Inquisición General sobre los libros del Monte Santo de Granada, with an annotated edition and preceded by an introductory study. The study shows evidence for Quevedo's authorship of the text and suggests an approximate date of composition. In the Memorial, Quevedo defends the fake nature of the texts and relics found in the Sacromonte de Granada and urges the Inquisition to burn them down instead of sending them to Rome for further examination, as Pope Urban VIII had requested. The text confirms Quevedo's inclination to influence issues of government as well as his adhesion to Catholic orthodoxy and his aspiration to historiographical rigour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Throughout this article, we will present three unpublished poems of Miguel de Unamuno. Due to their unfinished and private nature, we will support our work on the new methodology of Genetic Criticism. Even though they were not conceived for their publication, we insist on the importance of studying these documents, because the metaliterary discourse is represented as a primary thread to all of them, and we can consider them as part of his metapoetic poetry.

This paper examines the growing importance of the unpublished writings of thinkers for research in philosophy. This new orientation of the study of philosophy raises at least two questions: What is the philosophical interest of the posthumous legacy of a thinker? And specifically, why do Heidegger's lessons and notes awaken as much enthusiasm among researchers as the books and essays published in his lifetime? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the prologue to La Galatea, Cervantes establishes a distinction between those authors who "con deseo de gloria" dare to publish what they have written, and those who, for fear of the condemnation of the vulgo, refuse to make public what they have written in private. This paper studies the ways in which Cervantes represents these two groups of writers, principally through analysis of the Cervatine prologues and with special reference to two characters from Don Quijote --Gines de Pasamonte and the Canon of Toledo- whose own works remain unpublished and unfinished. By means of these allusions to the figure of the author, Cervantes censures those who criticize other writers while leaving unpublished their own works, at the same time legitimizing his own authorial efforts.

Quevedo lived many years in his domain of the Torre de Juan Abad. Being there, he kept a persevering correspondence with different people of his period; the Prince's tutor, Juan de Isasi, the Count of Montezuma…. Many of these letters are lost, but we keep those written to his neighbour of Beas, Sancho de Sandoval, gathered in the Barnuevo manuscript of the Biblioteca Nacional. These letters are a testimony of his life in the Torre de Juan Abad and his literary work. They permit us to see how the village and Quevedo in his village were at this time. We can see an old writer concerned with his garden and the historical situation of the Empire. The letters tells us that heavy rain caused many problems in the winter of 1635, how the village received the Cardinal Borja or how some American tigers and carpets passed through the village used in the decoration of the Buen Retiro palace.

This paper reveals the discovery of a new manuscript with some of Quevedo's works (written in the XVIIth Century). The manuscript includes the following titles: Grandes anales de quince días, and two fragments of Mundo caduco y desvarío de la edad (those in which the Uscoque people address to the archduke Fernando demanding help against Venetians). It is new in this manuscript the presence of many subtitles in the margins that summarise the plot. Although the manuscript coincides essentially with other sources, it offers a great amount of variants: omissions, grammatical and lexical changes, alteration in the order of Elements--additions…. In conclusion, this analysed manuscript does not give relevant modifications, but small variations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between 1972 and 1999, after her definitive return to Spain, the poet Ernestina de Champourcin wrote six poetry books, besides some never published "diary notes" and "autobiographical fragments". This article offers the transcription, fixation and annotation of these unpublished texts and analyzes some features that allow considering them as autobiographical writing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Silvina Ocampo's universe brims with different aspects of transformation in a double bind which communicates form and content. With the recent publication of her unpublished stories this typical recurrence can be pointed out as well. My intention is only to comment on certain characteristics of these metamorphoses.
