A History of Spanish Literature
CHAPTER V
The Comte de Puymaigre's _La Cour littéraire de Don Juan II._ (1873) is an excellent general view of the subject. D. Emilio Cotarelo y Mori's _Don Enrique de Villena_ (1896) is a very learned and interesting study. Villena's _Arte Cisoria_ was reprinted so recently as 1879. The _Libro de los Gatos_ and Clemente Sánchez' _Exemplos_ are in Rivadeneyra, vol. li.; the latter were completed by M. Morel-Fatio in _Romania_, vol. vii. Mr. Thomas Frederick Crane's _Exempla_ of Jacques Vitry (published in 1890 for the Folk-Lore Society) will be found useful by English readers.
Baena's _Cancionero_ (1851) was edited by the late Marqués de Pidal: the large-paper copies contain a few loose pieces, omitted from the ordinary edition which was reprinted by Brockhaus in a cheap form at Leipzig in 1860. D. Antonio Paz y Melia's _Obras de Juan Rodríguez de la Cámara_ (1884) is a good example of this scholar's conscientious work. Amador de los Ríos' edition of the _Obras del Marqués de Santillana_ (1852) is complete and minute in detail.
There is no good edition of Juan de Mena's works; I have found it most convenient to use that published by Francisco Sánchez (1804). The _Coplas de la Panadera_ will be found in Gallardo, vol. i. cols. 613-617.
Juan II.'s _Crónica_ is printed by Rivadeneyra, vol. lviii.; the others—those of Clavijo, Gámez, Lena—are in Llaguno y Amírola's _Crónicas Españolas_, already named. Llaguno also reprinted Pérez de Guzmán's _Generaciones_ at Valencia in 1790.
No modern editor has had the spirit to reissue Martínez de Toledo's _Corbacho_, nor did even Ticknor possess a copy. The edition of Logroño (1529) is convenient. The _Visión deleitable_ is in Rivadeneyra, vol. xxxvi. I know no later edition of Lucena's _Vita Beata_ than that of Zamora, 1483.
