Maria Rosa Lida or lights of philology (Francisco Rico)
Today, November 7, it marks a century of the birth of Maria Rosa Lida in Buenos Aires, and soon will be through his death in California on September 26, 1962. Who does not know what heights of excellence reached in philology and history of literature, suggesting it might fit summarizing that it brings together and increase all the virtues of tradition that formed and whose intertwined was the focus of their Education: the traditions of Athens and Jerusalem, the Weltliteratur Argentina , the Spain of the Center for Historical Studies.

La inicial vocación de helenista se trocó en entusiasmo por la literatura española al entrar (1933) en el Instituto de Filología que Amado Alonso, su gran maestro (y acaso su gran pasión voluntariamente ignorada), dirigía como espléndida prolongación de la escuela de Menéndez Pidal.
Pero el Instituto eran también Pedro Henríquez Ureña, Alfonso Reyes, Américo Castro, hombres con la misma amplitud de horizontes que don Amado, y precisamente Read Buenos Aires a cosmopolitan to a fault, the Buenos Aires of Victoria Ocampo and Jorge Luis Borges, where Rosa María hobnobbed with both radio giving a conference or published in South an essay on the myth of Helen, and only missing is a collection of old books as the best in Europe.
the early forties, had all but completed a monumental study around the footprint of Josephus in Hispanic literature from the Middle Ages to the colonial period, with frequent glances at other domains, and a lot of wonderful digressions . Case had not chosen at random: Josephus, the Jewish Hellenized and civis Romanus I could not find it attractive but intimately, and limit its influence in this context, the old to the new world was like then placed herself.
That work, which is now fully appreciate that the coordinates would be forever over his work, was yet unpublished (only posthumously has been coming in bits), while for the same years, Maria Rosa began to give birth to a series of articles, warmly touted by Amado Alonso, caused the glare of all readers, with Don Ramón in the lead, and earned him a reputation with aura of myth. Were items such as recreation Transmission and Greco-Roman themes in poetry English lyric or Dido and defense English literature, in which the author explores the Nachleben the survival of classical motifs with erudition and insight as never been seen after Menéndez Pelayo.
Moved to the United States in 1948 she married the famous Romanist Yakov Malkiel. Their relationship began by correspondence, in a letter, fortunately preserved, which is a paradigm of elegance and art of seduction (in Spain will be published under the title Love and philology ) and the same day and were first tutearon time is promised in marriage.
In Berkeley, where she taught her husband and therefore could not do it (and things were), with only short phases of visitors in other universities, scarce fifteen years of life remaining to him were of astonishing fertility. A multiple contributions in journals, then came to join the great books on Juan de Mena (1950), the idea of \u200b\u200bfame in the Middle Ages (1952) and artistic originality La Celestina (1962), the giant volume at which he had devoted so much effort and talent that never saw print.
In the few lines here are possible, I do not feel strong enough to explain those who do not themselves have appreciated the value of such work and the whole work of Maria Rosa Lida. Perhaps the ultimate key is that only rarely addressed and elucidated a specific point without regard to time as part of a literary series, not in the sense of Russian formalism of a soda or search for sources and influences, but as link a chain, ideal or actual expressive potential of communication skills. In the literary tradition of Europe and America in particular, from antiquity to modern times, a text is always read in the light of others, understand and change direction in light of other, and each strengthens the unity of the whole . Embarrassment Melibea hearing the name of Callisto is and is not that of Phaedra and Ana Ozores. Maria Rosa Lida
had no disciples, only occasionally and briefly because he taught, and school was not set the price of having a talent so exceptional. I fear that today either remember it or follow their example deserves. I confess with what I am evoking nostalgia shooting star "the pass sulla mia fiamma care Giovinezza" and has continued to guide me even when I had to disagree.
