Abstract:
The spectrum of fake, pirated and forged editions of Calderón de la Barca's works has constituted an enormous bibliographical puzzle for literary scholars and textual critics. In order to comment on what could be considered privilege violations, pirated or fraudulent editions and different forms of appropriations in the prehistory of Spanish copyright law, we have included images of controversial editions held in different libraries. Among the various acts of piracy, the most famous one is the first item attached here: Quinta parte de las comedias de Calderón (Barcelona, Antonio La Cavalleria, 1677)
