Martí Joan de Galba (Valencian pronunciation:[maɾˈtidʒuˈandeˈɣalβa]; died 1490) was aValencian author. He is often considered to be the co-author of the famousCatalan language epicTirant lo Blanch, which he worked on after the death of his friend,Joanot Martorell. But the nature of his contributions have been called into question, based on differences in the manuscript and the first printed edition byNicolás Spindeler [es].
David H. Rosenthal, one of the two translators of the work into English, notes a consistency in the portions attributed to Galba; especially place-names and his familiarity withJohn Mandeville'sTravels. However, the philologist,Joan Coromines, suggests that Galba's role was limited to copy editing; such as dividing the book into chapters.
Joan Roís de Corella has been cited as a more likely source for any substantive additions to the text.
