The UAH presents the XI volume of the Great Cervantine Encyclopedia (GEC)
The project is led by the Institute of Medieval and Golden Age studies 'Miguel de Cervantes' and directed by Carlos Alvar Ezquerra, director of the Instituto Miguel de Cervantes and professor of Romanesque Philology at the UAH.
The Great Cervantine Encyclopedia (GEC) is a complete summary library of an era (sixteenth and seventeenth centuries) focused on a writer like Cervantes, crucial to know the culture and history of Spain and Latin America.
The GEC is one of the largest scientific projects in the field of Humanities that have been promoted in recent years. It is an initiative that aims to bring together not only everything concerning Cervantes and his work (vocabulary, literary technique, characters…), but also its impact on later authors, translations and their literary and film versions. All this content is collected in an encyclopedia with a total of 12 volumes.
This encyclopedia is the result of an ambitious research carried out by more than 120 researchers who make it available to all, starting in 2005, the year in which the Fourth Centenary of the publication of Quixote was celebrated, an immense encyclopedic dictionary where, for the first time, everything related to Cervantes and his time is collected.
Around 25,000 experts have participated in these publications. Voices of very different extension, aimed at covering up to the smallest details of the time, life and literary work of the author of Quixote.
