Description
Abstract
El artículo analiza la epístola nuncupatoria como paratexto característico del mecenazgo literario en los siglos XV y XVI, examinando su función en el proceso de legitimación y circulación de libros durante la expansión de la imprenta. Se estudia su papel como dedicatoria dirigida a un mecenas, destinada a situar la obra dentro de redes de protección institucional y prestigio social. A partir del análisis de la epístola nuncupatoria en la obra médica de Luis de Lemos, se observa cómo este recurso refleja las relaciones entre autor y patrono, la profesionalización del libro y las estrategias empleadas para garantizar su recepción pública. El trabajo aporta una aproximación histórica y textual que permite comprender la epístola nuncupatoria como instrumento de negociación simbólica y como parte integrante de la cultura editorial renacentista.
