Tirant : butlletí informatiu i bibliogràfic de literatura de cavalleries
http://parnaseo.uv.es/tirant.htm
'Tirant' is a scholarly, peer reviewed electronic journal devoted predominantly, but not exclusively, to the classic Valencian novel, 'Tirant lo Blanc'. The website, which forms part of the excellent gateway, Parnaseo, from the University of Valencia, provides a lengthy introduction to this 15th century text, as well as an extensive bibliography of secondary material and editions of the 'Tirant lo Blanc'; and 'Curial e Güelfa'. Although the journal was discontinued in 2007, the user may still access ten issues back to 1998. Over the years, the journal's focus shifted to include study of Spanish medieval and Golden Age literature in general, with some emphasis on chivalric romance. Articles in this journal focus on such themes as: the oral diffusion of 'Amadís de Gaula'; the education of the hero in the 'El libro del caballero Zifar'; and comparative analysis (between, for example, episodes in both Tirant lo Blanc and 'Orlando Furioso'). Reviews of new publications specifically on Tirant lo Blanc appear in each issue. Various issues also feature links to digital versions of medieval Spanish texts. This quality journal is recommended for students and researchers of both Tirant, the chivalric romance, and medieval Spanish literature, both for its provision of secondary criticism and pointers for further study.
