(Walter Keating), -1867 [Translator] Genre: Category: Short Stories Language: English License: Public domain Source: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/14420 Amazon editions: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=The+Exemplary+Novels+of+Cervantes+Cervantes+Saavedra&tag=cyberlibrar00-20 ## Summary It seems to be generally admitted that in rendering the title of a book from one language into another, the form of the original should be retained, even at the cost of some deviation from ordinary usage. Cicero's work _De Officiis_ is never spoken of as a treatise on Moral Duties, but as Cicero's Offices. Upon the same principle we have not entitled the following collection of tales, Instructive or Moral; though it is in this sense that the author applied to them the epithet _exemplares_, as he states distinctly in his preface. The Spanish word _exemplo_, from the time of the archpriest of Hita and Don Juan Manuel, has had the meaning of _instruction_, or _instructive story_. ## Chapters - [Chapter 34](https://www.cyberlibrary.org/en/books/the-exemplary-novels-of-cervantes-14420/chapters/34/index.md) -
