BALENTIN BERRIO-OTXOA (1827-1861) SANTUAREN ESKUTITZ ARGITARAGABE BAT. (Basque)

This article brings to light a yet unpublished letter written by Saint Balentin Berrio-Otxoa (1827- 1861). It is a bilingual letter addressed to his parents, as are most of the twenty manuscripts known to have been written by the same hand: he writes in Basque to his mother and in Spanish to his father. Although it is the longer handwritten letters by the saint born in Elorrio that raise the greatest interest --because of their greater literary and linguistic value--, this we present here might be worth some attention.

El objetivo de este trabajo es la publicación de una carta inédita del santo Balentin de Berrio-Otxoa (1827-1861). La carta bilingüe que se publica en este trabajo, como casi todas de las veinte misivas que se conocen, está dirigida a sus padres: a la madre en euskera y al padre en castellano. Aunque las cartas más largas del santo de Elorrio son las que mayor interés concitan --por ser de mayor valor literario y lingüístico-- no deja de ser interesante esta nueva misiva.
