Abstract
El objetivo del presente artículo es indagar en una problemática concreta vinculada a la
traducción cuatrocentista de Pedro de Toledo de la Guía de Perplejos. Los prólogos y epílogos del
traductor a los tres libros del Mostrador e enseñador de los turbados, las glosas insertadas por mano
de escribano en el texto son la expresión de una idea de ciencia y de conocimiento gestada en el
contexto humanista del siglo XV castellano, así como de sus fuentes árabes y judías; también, de
un mundo de prejuicios y de ignorancia, de cuestionamiento cultural del valor de esas mismas
fuentes, fundamentalmente las judías. En un tiempo de crisis y de transformación de la sociedad
hispana, estas glosas y comentarios, la traducción en su conjunto, son el reflejo de un mundo de
paradojas culturales, de aspiración al conocimiento y de limitaciones humanas.
The aim of this paper is to examine a specific problem related to the 15th-century translation of Maimonides’s Guide of the Perplexed into Castilian, the oldest version in a vulgar language of the Moreh nevukhim, under the title Mostrador e enseñador de los turbados. The translator’s prologues and epilogues to the three books of the Guide and the glosses inserted in the text articulate the idea of science and knowledge as it was developed in the context of Spanish Humanism. At the same time, they are the expression of a world of prejudice and ignorance in the wide spectrum of the questioning of these cultural traditions, mainly the Jewish tradition. In a time of crisis and transformation of Hispanic society, these glosses and commentaries, and the translation as a whole, were the reflection of a cultural paradox of aspirations and limits.
