Introduction Juan Isidro Fajardo’s Índice de todas las comedias impresas hasta el año de 1716 (1717) An Annotated Edition

Abstract

Fajardo’s Índice de todas las comedias impresas hasta el año de 1716 has long been regarded as an indispensable source of information about the print, textual and cultural history of many thousands of plays written during Spain’s Golden Age. For centuries Fajardo’s Índice could only be consulted through the single manuscript copy (dated 1717) preserved in the Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid. At last Fajardo’s Índice, edited, with an Introduction, ample annotations and bibliographies, by Don Cruickshank and Ann Mackenzie, with Ceri Byrne, is now permanently available online and in print through the Bulletin of Spanish Studies to interested scholars worldwide.
