Francisco de Quevedo, the Spanish poet and satirist whose books were by far the most widely read in Spain in the 17 th century, died unaware that his genius had created modern satire in Spanish, and that for the ensuing five centuries, as we now know, his name would be a household word wherever Spanish was spoken. Between 1605 and 1621, Quevedo wrote a sequence of five Dreams or Visions ( Suenos y discursos ), in each of which he hilariously envisions Spanish society as populated by people rightfully condemned to Hell. These astonishingly witty and irreverent satires of contemporary Spanish culture, morality, prejudice and religious fanaticism, were composed in a style so allusive, elliptical and equivocal as to successfully entertain both those who barely understood their full range and import, and others who celebrated the poet's rebellious insinuations. Censorship prohibited the publication of such satire in its original form, but hundreds of copies were made by hand and circulated widely. In 1993 a critical edition of all of the surviving manuscripts was published. Today the Suenos are commonly read in modern editions of the first censored version, printed in 1627. The present book ( La tradicion. . . ), compares this version with all of the 43 extant manuscripts, and for the first time identifies those groups of manuscripts from which the publishers of the first edition derived their text. This text can now be seen as a version not only censored, but corrupted successively by copyists and editors who did not understand Quevedo's satire, and did not hesitate to add entire clauses, omit others and transfer sentences from one place to another. The result is hardly what Spain 's most famous satirist originally wrote.

La exactitud y la precisiÃƒÂ³n de las noticias recogidas por los Jesuitas en estas cartas han sido elogiadas por historiadores de la talla de Gregorio MaraÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂ³n y Pascual de Gayangos. Hace 16 aÃƒÂ±os Crosby compilÃƒÂ³ este Indice para su propia utilidad al anotar una serie de 28 cartas desconocidas, redactadas por Quevedo en la cÃƒÂ¡rcel. Como se trata de un perÃƒÂ­odo importantÃƒÂ­simo en la historia de Europa, y puede ser de gran utilidad a otros investigadores, Crosby decidiÃƒÂ³ publicarlo para ofrecerles acceso a las 3.451 pÃƒÂ¡ginas de los siete tomos impresos de la correspondencia de los Jesuitas espaÃƒÂ±oles a travÃƒÂ©s de un ÃƒÂ­ndice fidedigno y completo. El Indice onomÃƒÂ¡stico, toponÃƒÂ­mico y bibliogrÃƒÂ¡fico abarca el texto completo de los siete tomos y todo el extenso aparato crÃƒÂ­tico de su editor, Pascual de Gayangos. La BibliografÃƒÂ­a identifica y cuando es posible localiza ejemplares de los 560 documentos impresos y manuscritos citados por Gayangos y los Jesuitas. Todas las fichas de personas importantes llevan notas extensas sobre sus carreras, y muchos de ellos se hallan en el Indice de apellidos que hizo Crosby de los 200 oficiales del gobierno que en 1644 asistieron al funeral de la reina Isabel de BorbÃƒÂ³n. JAMES O. CROSBY es profesor emÃƒÂ©rito en la Florida International University.
