Biographical Note
Claude E. Anibal (1888-1955) was a professor, translator, and a soldier during World War I, where he served in France. After the war, he studied in Madrid at the Centro de Estudios Historicos and the Universidad Central before returning to America, where he received his PhD from Indiana University in 1922. In 1924, he began teaching at Ohio State University, and in 1936 became the professor of Romance Languages, in which he taught until his death in 1955. He began work on translating a “definitive edition” of
Fuente Ovejuna in 1935, and continued working on it for over twenty years while at Ohio State University.
Lope de Vega (1562-1635) was a dramatist of the Spanish Golden Age who wrote hundreds of plays and several hundred dramatic pieces that were shorter. He is considered to be one of the founders of modern drama in Spain.
Fuente Ovejuna is one of his plays, believed to be written during 1612-1614. The Golden Age of Spanish Theatre took place between 1590-1681, during Spain’s Renaissance, and produced roughly four times the number of plays that were written in England around the same time. Plays often dealt with honor, as well as religious and secular issues. Some contemporaries of Vega’s include Lope de Rueda, Juan del Encina, and Antonio Mira de Amescna.
Scope and Contents
The Claude E. Anibal Translations of Spanish Golden Age Dramas contain books, translation notes, correspondence, and other assorted papers of Claude E. Anibal, dated 1919-1960. All materials relate to Professor Anibal’s work in translating Spanish plays from the 1600s. Approximately half of the materials are related to Anibal's translation work with
Fuente Ovejuna, a play written by Spanish playwright Lope de Vega from 1612-1614. Other plays include
Cuatro Milagros de Amor,
Ventura de la Fea, and other works by the playwright Antonio Mira de Amescna and other contemporaries during the Golden Age of Spanish Drama. Most of the collection is in Spanish, with some notes and typescripts in English. Many of Professor Anibal’s typewritten notes are on the backs of other documents or Ohio State University stationery.
