Una traducción en clase de español: algunas observaciones sobre la versión española de De los deberes de los hombres (1843) de Silvio Pellico, traducida y corregida con notas gramaticales por Manuel Galo de Cuendías

In 1836, the Spanish liberal Manuel Cuendías publishes in Tou- louse a Spanish translation of a very well-known moral treatise written by the Italian intellectual Silvio Pellico, De los deberes de los hombres, dis- curso dirigido a un jóven (1836). The text will have several successive edi- tions, to which the translator adds a number of grammatical annotations of contrastive nature between Spanish and French, since the treatise is used by Cuendías in his Spanish language courses at the Royal College of Toulouse. The focus of this study lies at the intersection between the history of language teaching and learning and translation history. Our objective is, on the one hand, to foreground the political and educational context in which this unusual translation of Pellico’s book is published and, on the other, to examine the translator’s comments and annotations in the light of his linguistic and didactic ideas.
