Textual Bibliography for Tirant lo Blanc
Abstract
After showing that the editio princeps of Joanot Martorell’s Tirant lo Blanc (Valencia: Nicolau Spindeler, 1490) was printed by formes, this article illustrates how the hand press introduced errors in the transmission of the romance. Particular attention is paid to the order in which formes were printed within a quire, the characteristics of the printer’s copy, and the division of the work into chapters.
