Notes on the dissemination of venturós pelegrà in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries : three editions printed in Barcelona and one edition printed in Lleida
Objectives: To report on an ongoing line of research that aims to classify all the editions of the Peregrinació del Venturós Pelegrà ('Pilgrimage of Venturós PelegrÃ') that have been dated to a period between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. When we compare their graphic features, the seventeenth-century editions printed in Barcelona fall into two main groups: in one, the editions are either partially or totally illustrated with woodcuts used in Cervera by the typographer Manuel Ibarra; the other group comprises the editions printed in Barcelona containing woodcuts that have not been documented in any other city during the eighteenth century. This paper focuses on the second group.
Methodology: We reproduce the woodcuts in each of the editions and give an account of eighteenth-century Lleida, where the same woodblocks were occasionally used.
Results: The study demonstrates the enduring nature of the work in question, Venturós PelegrÃ, which was illustrated by various typographers following very similar formal guidelines and adhering to a markedly typified iconographic series, especially during the eighteenth century.
