Madariaga, Pedro (ca. 1537-post. 1582)

Vida

Pedro de Madariaga nació en Arratia (Vizcaya) hacia 1537. La elevada posición social de su familia le permitió iniciar sus estudios de Humanidades muy joven. Pronto abandonó Vizcaya para continuar su formación en Zaragoza bajo la tutela de Juan de Icíar (ca. 1523-ca. 1572) y, probablemente, para servir como soldado, ya que viajó por España e Italia. Finalmente se instaló en Valencia, en cuya universidad ejerció la docencia. Se desconocen el lugar y la fecha de su muerte.

Pedro de Madariaga fue pionero en componer un manual de contenido caligráfico y ortográfico, el Libro subtilíssimo intitulado Honra de escriuanos. La estructura tripartita que lo divide es la siguiente: una primera parte destinada a elogiar las virtudes del aprendizaje de la escritura; una segunda que constituye el arte de escribir, cuyo método propugnaba la libertad en el trazo con el fin de agilizar el proceso de aprendizaje; y una última que contiene la propuesta ortográfica de Madariaga. Varios años más tarde, en 1777, Antonio de Sancha (1720-1790) reimprimió en Madrid esta obra con el título de Arte de escribir, ortografía de la pluma y honra de los profesores de este magisterio [...]. Por otra parte, sus Modi loquendi latino et hispano sermone pretendían servir de apoyo a la traducción del latín al español sin llegar a ser un tratado exhaustivo, pues se centran exclusivamente en los modos verbales del español y el latín.
