A Current Bibliography of Foreign Publications Dealing With the Comedia

My impression is that the collection contains some rare and interesting items. A few years ago when I was preparing an edition of Rojas Zorrilla's La vida en el ataúd, I searched in Spanish and other European libraries for manuscripts and sueltas of the play but found none. If the copy listed in the present catalogue is indeed a suelta and not pages torn from the volume in which the play was first printed (Parte 32 of the Comedias escogidas), it is a rare item indeed. Comediantes are indebted to Professor McKnight and Mrs. Jones for their fine work. Not only have they given us a meticulous catalogue of a valuable collection but they have discovered the authors of many anonymous works and have corrected other faulty attributions . Their catalogue is the product of solid research. ^*x, 3^^ MLA Meeting Spanish 3: The Spanish Comedia Wednesday, December 29 — 10:15 a.m.— Wednesday, December 29 Palmer House, State Ballroom Chairman, Arnold G.
