A two-leaves poetic chapbook, printed in 1556, includes an Eucharistic poem written in Catalan by Joan Timoneda, with the following opening lines: «En la cena consagrada / fon posat aquest sant pa». This poem develops the allegory of the mystical mill and remained in the oral tradition through a song entitled La cena, documented in the 19th and 20th centuries: not only there have been recorded several oral versions, some of them with musical notation, but at least two 19th-century broadsheets are known. This paper focuses especially on a broadsheet edition with La cena on one side and four other texts on the other side, depending on the copy taken into consideration. This fact indicates that this edition, with its different publishing solutions, was composed by printing La cena on the blank side of different broadsides. It would be a case of reusing stocks not previously sold by the printer. Moreover, the analyzed data agree with the conclusion that this edition is not prior to 1841. Another edition of La cena was printed in Barcelona by Miquel Borràs, probably in 1845.
