Fake edition of Vera Tassis' compilation of Calderón de la Barca's plays

Full title original language:
Edición pirata de la compilación que Vera Tassis hiciera de las obras de Calderón de la Barca

Abstract:
When the Spanish dramatist Calderón de la Barca (1600-1681) died, Vera Tassis undertook the task of publishing his plays. Vera also complained about the proliferation of defective and pirated editions and attempted to defeat them by publishing what he entitled as the “true” fifth volume [Verdadera Quinta Parte (1682)]. Unsurprisingly, Vera’s collection was also subjected to piracy. Photographs of one of the most famous "Pseudo" Vera Tassis have been provided by the courtesy of the Trustees of the Edward Worth Library, Dublin.

Commentary: No commentaries for this record.
