Overview

UN ACONTECIMIENTO EDITORIAL SIN PRECEDENTES

La edición más completa, libre de la censura católica, del gran poema de la mística castellana

Una cárcel denigrante fue el lugar donde se concibió, en 1578, Cántico espiritual, uno de los mayores poemas de la literatura occidental. Ahí permaneció encerrado fray Juan de la Cruz por querer reformar la orden de los carmelitas. Su carcelero le facilitó papel y tinta para escribir, así como aguja e hilo con los que el descalzo pudo coser mantas y trapos para fugarse, llevándose el cuaderno con las primeras treinta y una estrofas de las «Canciones entre el Alma y el Esposo» que había compuesto de memoria en la noche de su encierro. Mediante una metáfora erótica, el poema describía una profunda experiencia mística que se vinculaba con la tradición sapiencial hebrea, buscando la comunión con Dios a través del encuentro con la esencia de la palabra bíblica, tal y como habían propuesto Casiodoro de Reina, autor de la primera y prohibida traducción completa de la Biblia al castellano, o fray Luis de León, probable maestro de fray Juan en Salamanca.

En esta nueva y reveladora edición, Lola Josa, especialista en el autor, ha fijado el texto a la luz de la mística hebrea sumergida en el poema, enmendando errores seculares de transmisión y proponiendo una revolucionaria interpretación que, libre de dogmas tanto religiosos como filológicos, da una nueva vida al poema y nos descubre un tesoro oculto de referencias, lecturas y desafíos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

AN UNPRECEDENTED LITERARY EVENT.
 
The most comprehensive edition, free of Catholic censorship, of the great poem of Spanish mysticism.
 
The spiritual canticle, one of the greatest poems in Western literature, was written in 1578, inside a denigrating prison cell. Friar John of the Cross was imprisoned because he wanted to reform the Carmelite order. His jailer gave him ink and paper to write, same as needle and thread so he could sow blankets and rags together, and escape, taking the first thirty-one stanzas of “The song between the soul and the bridegroom” with him, which he had written by memory the night of his imprisonment. By way of an erotic metaphor, the poem describes a profound mystical experience linked to Jewish sapiential tradition, seeking communion with God while encountering the essence of the biblical word, just as Casiodoro de Reina, author of the first —and banned— complete Spanish translation of the Bible, had suggested. Or Friar Luis de León, likely the teacher of Friar John, in Salamanca.
 
In this recent and revealing edition, Lola Josa, specialist in Saint John of the Cross, has set the text in the light of the Jewish mysticism immersed in the poem, amending secular transmission errors, and suggesting a revolutionary rendition that, now free of religious and philosophical dogma, gives new life to the poem and opens up a hidden treasure of references, interpretations, and challenges.
