About this Database

In the case of works of Francesc Vicent Garcia and Francesc Fontanella, printed texts are also included as testimonies, given their interest for critial edition.

 

In this first phase (2007-2009) data were collected regarding poems by authors belonging to the Principality of Catalonia and Roussillon until 1750. On further stages baroque authors from Valencia and the Balearic Islands are to be to collected.
