Estas páginas aportan otra lectura que podría dilucidar algunos de los enigmas más insolubles que presenta el Libro de buen amor a través de una comparación de sus aspectos primordiales con otros inherentes a la literatura producida por la mística islámica. El punto fundamental de esta propuesta es la doble similitud-en tema y en técnicas-entre el texto del Arcipreste de Hita y la literatura sufí. Por un lado, tenemos un tema en común que es un intento y un fracaso, delineados en las repetidas aventuras y desventuras amorosas, tanto del Arcipreste como del que se embarca en el así llamado Credo del Amor, que es el sufismo evolutivo; y, por otro lado, las técnicas narrativas del autor del Libro guardan fuerte semejanza con la de los textos sufíes. Desde esta lectura, el LBA tendría un sentido altamente metafórico y un objetivo didáctico, aunque se trata de un didacticismo indirecto y no convencional. En primer lugar, este libro ofrece una breve reseña de las principales figuras del sufismo (Al-Ghazzali o Algazel, Fariduddin Attar, Najmuddin Kubra, Hakim Sanai, Saadi of Shiraz, Hakim Jami, Hallaj, Suhrawardi, Junaid, Abu Nasr al Farabi, Omar Khayyam y el celebrado Jalaluddin Rumi) así como el historiador Ibn Kaldún. Trata luego de la presencia de sus escuelas en la península, entre hispanoárabes (Ibn Masarra, Ibn Bajja o Avenpace, Ibn Tufayl o Abubacer, Alfarabi o Alfarabius, Al Kindi, Ibn Rush o Averroes e ibn el Arabi); hebreos (Bahya ibn Pakudah, Zadiq de Cordoba, Yehuda Halevi, Solomon ben Gabirol o Avicebron, Moses ben Ezra de Granada, Samuel ben Tibbón, Simtob ben Falaquera, Abraham Abulafia, Moses ben Maimon o Maimónides de Córdoba, o cabalisticos como Moisés de León) y cristianos (Fra Anselmo de Turmeda, Raymundo Llul ); de poetas como Santa Teresa de Avila y San Juan de la Cruz, y otros aspectos culturales que podrían haber sido una fuente de inspiración para el autor del Libro. Seguidamente se presenta un cotejo del Libro con varios textos medievales influidos por la llamada "filosofía perenne". El primer grupo de ellos (textos como el Calila e Dimna, las Maqãmãt árabes, el Masnavi de Rumi y otros) comparten con el LBA un muy particular método didáctico, llamado "indirecto", basado en la pluralidad de significados, la ambigüedad intencional, el humor y la sorpresa, todas técnicas destinadas a cuestionar los modos mecánicos de pensamiento, a fin de cultivar un modo mental para lograr el desarrollo de los llamados órganos percepción superior. El segundo tipo de material, que sirve al estudio comparativo del tópico del amor y la búsqueda, se centra en la figura femenina de la lírica amorosa antes y durante la época del Arcipreste de Hita, de origen udhri, cortesana y mística. Finalmente, se analiza la filosofía del Arcipreste frente al dilema predeterminación vs. libre albedrío, que coincide con la postura de las escuelas de conocimiento interior que florecieron dentro del islam, y cuyas premisas están íntimamente vinculadas al tema de la obtención de una conciencia superior. La lectura del texto desde esta perspectiva demuestra que las aventuras de su protagonista y sus repetidos reveses son una representación alegórica del deseo amoroso, pero también de los tropiezos y desasosiego, que el "Buscador de la Verdad" de dichas escuelas de desarrollo interior

The year 1492 has long divided the study of Sephardic culture into two distinct periods, before and after the expulsion of Jews from Spain. David A. Wacks examines the works of Sephardic writers from the 13th to the 16th centuries and shows that this literature was shaped by two interwoven experiences of diaspora: first from the Biblical homeland Zion and later from the ancestral hostland, Sefarad. Jewish in Spain and Spanish abroad, these writers negotiated Jewish, Spanish, and diasporic idioms to produce a uniquely Sephardic perspective. Wacks brings Diaspora Studies into dialogue with medieval and early modern Sephardic literature for the first time.

Framing Iberia is a study of medieval Iberian culture observed through the lens of the frametale, a type of story collection cultivated by medieval Iberian authors in several languages. Its best known examples outside of Iberia are Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Boccaccio’s Decameron, and the Thousand and One Nights. In Framing Iberia the author relocates the Castilian classics El Conde Lucanor and El Libro de buen amor within a literary tradition that includes works in Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, and Romance. In doing so, he draws on current critical theory and cultural studies in reevaluating how the multicultural society of medieval Iberia is reflected in its narrative literature.

One of the most widely-read and translated Spanish works in sixteenth-century Europe was Fernando de Rojas' Celestina, a 1499 novel in dialogue about a couple that faces heartbreak and tragedy after being united by the titular brothel madam. In 'Celestina' and the Ends of Desire, E. Michael Gerli illustrates how this work straddles the medieval and the modern in its exploration of changing categories of human desire - from the European courtly love tradition to the interpretation of want as an insatiable, destructive force. Gerli's analysis draws on a wide range of Celestina scholarship but is unique in its use of modern literary and psychoanalytic theory to confront the problematic links between literature and life. Explorations of influence of desire on knowledge, action, and lived experience connect the work to seismic shifts in the culture of early modern Europe. Engaging and original, 'Celestina' and the Ends of Desire takes a fresh look at the timeless work's widespread appeal and enduring popularity.

A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested. Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda. A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.
