Should We Propose A Printed Romancero's New Typology?

In this work, I present the need to reflect on a new typology for the classification of the printed Romancero, considering the editorial motivation that promoted the publication of these materials in the first half of the 16th century. Although critics have currently accepted that some labels confuse more than they explain (for example, Romancero erudito) and have seen that the chronological stages set by neotraditionalism are not fulfilled from the perspective of empirical evidence, it is a current nomenclature, assumed as good and repeated both in research papers and in manuals for use.
