Traducciones en verso, textos bilingües, monstruos con Ulises Aldovrandi al fondo en las relaciones de tema ibérico de la colección Ubaldo Zanetti de la Biblioteca Universitaria de Bologna

The pharmacist Ubaldo Zanetti (1698-1769) collected throughout his life, in addition to an interesting collection of coins and portraits (33 volumes, preserved in the Pinacoteca nazionale in Bologna) dedicated to famous people and also to “monsters”, giants or bearded women, a remarkable library that includes manuscripts, cinquecentine and relations. The immense collection of relations conserved in the Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna is still not catalogued and is made up of hundreds of pieces from the 16th-18th centuries, loose or collected in miscellaneous volumes. Among them there are also relations in Spanish, including some of which no other copies are known. The number of relations on Iberian themes is even larger, covering very varied subjects. On this occasion, the texts of which we know the original will be presented in particular, studying the different types of rewriting, from translation and layout — including the bilingual presentation in two columns — to the processes of cultural mediation of texts addressed to the public of the different Italian states.
