Abstract
El presente artículo se centra en el panfl
eto que el impresor Juan de Mongastón editó en
1611 sobre el Auto de Fe de Logroño de 1610 y que
incluye una relación dedicada a los actos y crímenes
de los brujos/as juzgados los días 7 y 8 de noviembre.
Este trabajo defi ende que dicha relación, de
un interés histórico innegable, ha de ser abordada
desde una perspectiva literaria, pues, como se demostrará,
en realidad es un texto muy literario, aunque
nunca se haya analizado desde dicho prisma.
Para justifi car estas afi rmaciones nos apoyaremos
en la conexión que establecen entre brujería y literatura
Francisco Rico y José Miguel Barandiarán,
y en la corriente de interpretación narrativa de la
brujería (Dolan, Rowland, Rowlands, Gibson, Clark,
Rushton, Gaskill, Purkiss y Gentilcore); así como en
las aportaciones de Caro Baroja, Henningsen, Azurmendi
y Dueso sobre las conocidas como “brujas de
Zugarramurdi”.
This article focuses on the pamphlet printed by Juan de Mongastón in 1611 about Logroño’s Auto de Fe (1610) and its special emphasis on the witches judged on 7 and 8 November. This paper maintains that this pamphlet, which is of undeniable historical interest, must be approached from a literary perspective, since, as will be shown, it is actually a literary text, although it has never been viewed from that perspective. To justify these claims we will rely on the connection established by Francisco Rico and José Miguel Barandiarán, and the current narrative interpretation of witchcraft (Dolan, Rowland, Rowlands, Gibson, Clark, Rushton, Gaskill, Purkiss and Gentilcore) as well as contributions by Caro Baroja, Henningsen, Dueso and Azurmendi about the “Zugarramurdi’s Witches”.
