CERVANTES SAAVEDRA (Miguel de)

320 pp.; 150 mm.

We believe that this is the Seville edition of 1641. Given the state of conservation of the copy and its defects, it is difficult to say with certainty which edition it is, using the available instruments. Based on the analysis that we were able to carry out, consulting several copies of various duly catalogued editions and with scans available for consultation, it appears to us that this is the Seville edition, printed by Francisco de Lyra in 1641.

The copy we have has a special feature. Folio 56 ends with the text 'quedado Ali Baxa: el qual con el Cadi, y Hazen se // fecharon en ella por espacio de una hora solos', a text that is repeated on the following folio, numbered 59 (H1). The copy digitized by the BNE also goes from folio 56 to 59, but does not repeat any text. It is also worth noting several pagination errors throughout the volume that differ slightly from the copy described. The types also seem to be the same. However, the signatures do not match, at least at the beginning, since the BNE copy indicates a single section A, and in this copy, section A has its 8 pages, but there is no preliminary page.

Both the following edition of 1648, also from Seville, where, despite the similarities, the pagination error in that section is corrected, and the previous edition of 1631 do not correspond at all.

Assuming that the copy belongs to this edition, it is missing the frontispiece, the index folio, folios Oo3 to Qq8 and all the folios of the Ss and Tt sections, corresponding to the last novel.
