Abstract
This article deals with Beckett's reading of Cervantes's in the 1930s. Sixteen notes that he took in the Notebook (MS 3000 of the Beckett Collection at Reading University), proceeding from the title of Cervantes's novel to chapter 18 of the Second Part, reveal that Beckett's attention focuses on a surprisingly small number of things for such a complex text. With three languages at play – English, French and Spanish – Beckett's manuscript entries betray his close dependence on Ferdinand de Brotonne's French translation of Cervantes's work (a mediating source which is not acknowledged in the notebook).
