Description

Facsimile edition made in 2016 by the Taberna Libraria publishing house of Madrid, of the twelve known autographs of the author of “Don Quixote”, commemorating the IV Centenary of the death of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1616-2016).

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, doomed in life to all kinds of misfortunes, captivity, unjust prison and public disgrace, comes four hundred years after his death through the only personal testimony that we have left of him: his writing.

The publisher, in its usual line of commemorative editions and to celebrate such a great anniversary, brought together in a unique facsimile edition the set of autographs of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, distributed in different institutions, namely: General Archive of Simancas (6 documents), National Historical Archive (1 document), Carmona Municipal Archive (1 document), National Library of Spain (1 document) and Rosenbach Museum Library of Philadelphia (3 documents). Documents mostly refer to his time as a collector in different towns in Málaga, Seville, Granada, Córdoba, Cádiz, Badajoz and Valladolid.

Cervantes liked to write letters. This is what Antonio de Guevara seems to attest to, when he replied in a letter dated October 20, 1588: “I have received all your letters from your worship, and I have not responded to them because they were not offered to whom…” It is a pity, therefore, that Today only scraps of that extensive epistolary production are preserved. In addition to the faithful facsimile reproduction of all the holographic documents, in a separate volume an exhaustive paleographic, orthographic and graphological study of Cervantes’ writing is made for the first time, with publication also of the most famous forgeries, by eminent specialists. .

Limited edition of 1,616 copies, numbered and authenticated with a notarial certificate.
