Estos días pasados: Felipe de Guevara, a reader of Pliny the Elder

Abstract

Herein commented are Don Felipe de Guevara’s Comentarios de la Pintura, ascribed to the 16th century but made known only in 1788, through an editio princeps prepared by Don Antonio Pons, taking into consideration the constitution and persistence
of large translated passages from Pliny the Elder’s Naturalis Historia and Vitruvius’ De Architectura as elocutive aspects in the Spanish language.
