[Andalusi Studies] Open Access pedagogical editions of premodern Iberian and Latin American texts

[David Wacks]

Please distribute throughout your professional networks

Dear colleagues,

I hope you are enjoying a peaceful summer and managing to stay cool ☀️.

This is a reminder that the editorial team of Open Iberia/América (primarily Castilian editor Sol Miguel-Prendes and me, with the support of a team of editors specialized in the languages of the Iberian Peninsula and the Americas) maintains a collection of pedagogical editions of medieval and early modern texts at https://openiberiaamerica.hcommons.org/.

A number of these texts are of particular interest to teachers and students of Andalusi and Aljamiado studies:


  *   Ibn Hazm, Risāla fī rithāʼ madīnat Qurṭuba (A Treatise on Lamenting the City of Cordova)<https://openiberiaamerica.hcommons.org/2021/02/18/ibn-hazm/> (Cordova, 1031)<https://openiberiaamerica.hcommons.org/2021/02/18/ibn-hazm/> (ed. Mustafa Binmayaba, Arabic/Spanish/English)
  *   Cantar de Mio Cid (1207)<https://openiberiaamerica.hcommons.org/2020/09/17/cantar-de-mio-cid-ca-1200/> (ed. Matthew Bailey, Medieval Castilian/Modern Spanish/English)
  *   Sendebar (1253)<https://openiberiaamerica.hcommons.org/2021/02/05/sendebar-1253/> (ed. David Arbesú, Medieval Castilian/Modern Spanish/English)
  *   Omar Patón, Memorial de ida y venida hasta Makka (Memoir of the journey to and from Mecca) (late 15th century)<https://openiberiaamerica.hcommons.org/2021/12/06/omar-paton-memorial-de-ida-y-venida-hasta-meca-memoir-of-the-journey-to-and-from-mecca-castile-15th-c/> (ed. Pablo Roza Candás, Aljamiado/Modern Spanish/English)
  *   Anonymous, Leyenda de la Doncella Carcayçiyona (Aragón, ca. 1587) <https://openiberiaamerica.hcommons.org/2022/01/24/legend-de-la-doncella-carcayciyona-aragon-ca-1587/>  (ed. Donnie Wood and Jordan Kaplan, Aljamiado/Modern Spanish/English)


The texts are edited in their original languages, with an introduction for students and non-specialists, translation, and notes in English. There is also a version with introduction, translation, and notes in Spanish, so the units can be used in either English- or Spanish-speaking classrooms.

All texts are published under a Creative Commons license<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/>, and so can be downloaded, copied, modified, and distributed without copyright fees or permission, but with attribution.

We currently have some twenty texts published, most of them excerpts (approx. 2000-5000 words) of longer works, with a number of other texts in the pipleline.

If you are interested in collaborating by contributing a text that you like to teach, or have always wanted to teach but that lacked a pedagogical edition, please have a look at our (relatively flexible) editorial norms, and please be in touch with me (wacks at uoregon.edu).

Best wishes,
David
