- Tres opúsculos satíricos al servicio de los debates metodológicos para el aprendizaje del latín: Mallorca, 1802(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2021) Calafat-Vila, R.M. (Rosa M.)This work, which contributes to the scientific building of a historiographic Catalan narrative, analyses three seriocomical pieces that satirize the Latin teacher and his method in the Mallorca of the early 19th Century, through a Social History of Language approach. In addition, it reflects literary disputes between two grammarians and their preferences for Catalan or Spanish. In Carta de un maestro a su discípulo (1802), the ignorance of the Semperist master, who used to lecture in Catalan, is lambasted and the case is made for imposing the Nebrija and the Torrella texts in Spanish. In two biting rebuttals, the Obreta petita and the Empatadera, the author of the Carta is attacked as a pedantic Latin pedagogue – a recognisable character within the sub-genre of satire about grammar. These works also advocate for Sempere and local culture and for the need to rise above such debates to make real educational gains in the teaching of Latin.
