Gero (book)
''Gero'' (, in contemporary spelling) is a 17th-century ascetic book in Basque written by Pedro Agerre, better known as Axular. It is considered one of the masterpieces of classic Basque prose and literature altogether. Its accomplished, elaborate language in classic Lapurdian dialect turned it into a writing model for later writers from Labourd. It was published in Bordeaux in 1643 under the patronage of Bertrand D'Etchauz, the Basque archbishop of Tours (1617-1641). The book was written after the period of the harrowing "witch" persecution (Pierre de Lancre's intervention in Labourd). While the title's tagline reads "divided into two parts", only the existence of one book has been attested. Basque scholar Pierre Lafitte claimed that both parts had been merged into one. By contrast, former president of the Basque Language Academy Luis Villasante held that the second part had been actually lost.{{cite web , last1=Aierbe , first1=Axun , title=Gero (1643) , url=https://aunam ...
