Zenbait euskal testu Nafarroan XVII. mendean

Abstract

This article collects the texts written in Basque which appear in two XVII-century documents from the General Archive of Navarra. Fifty-five texts or words written in Basque have been collected from the first of these, which deals with a trial in the Valley of La Burunda and was produced between the 13th of July 1645 and the 30th of May 1648. Only two texts written in Basque have been collected from the second the two, drafted in the 1602, which deals with a palace in Arizaleta, Tierra Estella. It should be pointed out, however, that these texts are more complete, at least insofar as sentence structure is concerned.

Each and every one of the fifty-five texts from the first document was collected in line with the following system: location of the text in the document (page), the test itself, contextualisation, its equivalent in standardised Basque, its equivalent in the Basque language as currently spoken in the Valley of La Burunda and a dialectological commentary. The two texts from the second document were collected in line with the same system, bar, obviously, the reference to the language as currently spoke.
