Abstract

Francisco Jáuregui -or François Jauréguy-, from the French town of San Juan de Luz, is the author of Gramera berria, ikasteko eskualdunec mintzatzen espanoles [= New grammar, for Basques to learn to speak in Spanish], published in the Imprenta Republicana of Buenos Aires in 1850. This manual is a bilingual grammar in Basque and Spanish, and it was developed to facilitate the learning of Spanish to the Basque speakers who emigrated to Argentina. The manual had some success, since it was reprinted in 1860 and in 1883, in the same city. In this paper, we have compared these three editions and carried out a detailed description of Jáuregui’s text, considering the historical context in which it is inserted. Its affiliation with other similar books has also been examined.
