- Title
LA INSCRIPCIÓN LATINA DEL MONUMENTO A JOVELLANOS DE OVIEDO.
- Authors
SUÁREZ-MARTÍNEZ, Pedro Manuel
- Abstract
We intend to study the Latin inscription that the General Assembly (Junta General) of the Principality of Asturias dedicated to Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos in 1798, in Oviedo, on the occasion of his appointment as Minister of Grace and Justice. We offer a new critical edition of the text and an analysis of its most relevant linguistic aspects. We also propose a new translation that is closer to the Latin text than the only one we know; this one is characterized by a majesty and elegance that the original text absolutely lacks, as can be deduced from the linguistic analysis. Finally, we make some considerations about the authorship of the text.
