BIBLIOGRAPHY
OF THE DRAMATIC WORKS
OF
LOPE DE VEGA CARPIO
BASED UPON THE CATALOGUE OF JOHN RUTTER CHORLEY
PRELIMINARY NOTE
The basis of the present bibhography is an interleaved copy
of John Rutter Chorley's Catdhfgo de Comedias y Autos de Frey
Lope Felix de Vega Carpio which in its original form was print-
ed at the end of the fifty-second volume of the Biblioteca de
Autores Espaholes (pp. 535-558). This interleaved copy was
bequeathed by Chorlcy to the British Museum, and was received
by the Museum officials on November 9, 1867. There it
appears to have remained unnoticed by all students of Spanish,
with the exception of Mr. James Fitzmaurice-Kelly who inform-
ed me of its existence, and supplied me with a copy of it. The
title of the revised version reads : — Catdlngo de Comedias y
Autos de Lope de Vega. For J. R. C. Impreso en Madrid : — con
adiciones v notas de Barrera. Alio de 1S61. Adicionado y corre-
gido en Ms. por su redactor original. Aho de 1864. The press-
mark is 1 1725 h. The original is wholly in Spanish.
In his preliminary Advertencia Chorley states that the first
draft was finished in October 1857, ^^^ ^^^Y forwarded to
Hartzenbusch, who communicated it to La Barrera (i860). It
REVUE HISPANIQUE. G.
HUGO A. RENNERT
was published in 1861 with La Barrera's adiciones y correcciones,
and with a few notes by Hartzenbusch. Chorley observes that,
with the exception of the Hst in the 1618 edition of the Pere-
griuo en sii Palria, which had been overlooked or forgotten for
more than a centur}% La Barrera's additions are of no great value ;
that La Barrera's « corrections » do not always deserve the
name, and that La Barrera occasionally represents himself as
being the author of notes which, as a matter of fact, figured in
Chorley 's manuscript. In the refonte Chorley restores his Catalogo
to its primitive form which Hartzenbusch and La Barrera had
altered. This unauthorized rearrangement of the materials was
not, in the English bibliographer's opinion, a change for the
better.
Though it dates back to 1864, Chorley's revision of his work
is so characteristically thorough that it leaves comparatively little
to be gleaned by his successors. Still, I have spared no pains to
attain additional accuracy in the minutiiu, and I have embodied
the additional material which Chorley would certainly have
included had it been available in his time. In so extensive a series
of elaborate tables, abounding at every page in complex details,
the possibilities of error are almost illimitable, and experts will
no doubt detect in the subjoined lists a certain number of mis-
takes, omissions, superfluities and contradictions. But I trust
that the proportion of such defects may not be excessive, and,
in any case, I can sincerely say that all corrections of my short-
comings will be received with gratitude.
NOTE TO THE SECOND EDITION
The above ' Preliminary Note ' was prefixed to the Biblio-
graphy of Lope de Vega's Comedias and Autos which appeared in
my Life of Lope de Vega, Glasgow^ Gowans & Gray, 1904. It is
hoped that in this second edition the Bibliography will be found
much improved. Many additions have been made ; especially
BIBLIOGRAPHY Ol- LOPE DE VEGA 3
useful have been Professor Restori's reviews of the Spanish
Academy's monumental edition of Lope de Vega (edited by the
late Sr. Menendez y Pelayo), published in the Zeitschrift fiir
romanische Philologie, vols. 22-31, and the Bibliografia Madrikha
of Sr. Perez Pastor. The mistakes of the first issue have been
corrected and the omissions have been supplied to the best of
my ability.
Students of Lope de Vega must ever regret the untimely death
of that greatest conocedor of Lope de Vega, Sr. Menendez y
Pelayo. No one has ever known Lope de Vega as intimately as
he knew him, and the writer will ever remember that profound
scholar with gratitude for his encouraging, sympathetic criticism.

CATALOGUE OF COMEDIAS AND AUTOS
OF FREY LOPE FELIX DE VEGA CARPIO
NOTES AND EXPLANATIONS
The titles of the dramatic works which make up this Cata-
logue have been gathered from the works quoted below.
In the first place comes the great collection of Coniedias de
Lope de Vega, which consists of twenty-five volumes or Partes,
in Spanish quarto, printed between i6o4and 1647. In the copies
of which any information exists at present, Partes III and V
of this series correspond apparently to another collection of various
coniedias by divers authors : so that, strictly speaking. Partes
III and V of Lope's coniedias are unknown. And, on the
other hand, while there exists a Parte XXII and a Parte XXIV
of coniedias, really and truly written by Lope de Vega,
there are also another Parte XXII and two separate volumes
entitled Parte XXIV which purport to be by our author and
in fact contain pieces by him, though these are intermingled
with plays by other poets.
HUGO A. RENNERT
Tlie volume entitled Seis Comedias dc Lope de Vega printed
at Madrid and Lisbon in 1603, contains :\ comedia by our author
following upon five supposititious coiuedias ascribed to him .
The work to which Lope's son-in-law, D. Luis de Usategui,
gave the title of La Vega del Parnaso ' contains eight comedias by
Lope.
Two are contained in the Relacionde las Fiestas que la Villa de
Madrid hi~o en la canoui^acion de S. Isidro.
A book entitled Doce Comedias nueiias de Lope de Vega y otros
antores, Segunda Parle contains four comedias by Lope.
Four volumes, numbered Parte XXVI, Parte XXVII, Parte
XXVIII and Par.'e XXIX de Comedias de Lope include plays by
our author and others'. These four are usually called by bibli-
ographers Partes de Lope de Vega extravagantes.
Comedias by Lope are found, moreover, in Parte XXVIIl
dc Comedias de diferentes aiitores and in Partes XXIX, XXX,
XXXL XXXII, XXXIII, XXXVn, and XLIV of that collec-
tion.
Comedias by Lope arc likewise found in certain volumes ot
dramatic works, printed separately, in addition to those already
cited, and in various collections of comedias siieltas which are
duly mentioned below.
Bervs'een 1652 and 1704 there appeared at Madrid a collec-
tion of Comedias escogidas which reached a total of forty-eight
volumes or Partes. Works by Lope are contained in Paries III,
1. As this volume was not published till 1657, two years after Lope's
death, Chorley considers that Lope was probably not in any way responsible
for the title.
2. So far as I am aware, comments Chorley, the Partes exlravagaiUes,
XXVI, XXVII, and XXVIIl do not exist and are only known from the fact
that Fajardo mentions them in his Index. Some fragments of them are (appar-
entlyj preserved in three vols (see pp. 36-37) formerly in the Osuna
Librarv and now in the Biblioteca Nacional.

Lastly we know of autographs and manuscript copies of
comedias by Lope in various public and private libraries, and
the titles of these are embodied in the present Catalogue.
This has been completed, as far as possible, by means of the
titles of comedias printed by Lope himself in the two editions ol
his work El Peregrino en su Patria, due use being made, as a
last resource, of the Indice general alfabetico de las Comedias que se
venden en casa de los herederos de Francisco Medel del Castillo,
printed at Madrid in 1725, and the Catalogo alfabetico del
Teatro Espahol, printed at Madrid by don Vicente Garcia de la
Huerta in 1785.

1. A copy of this edition, formerly in Chorley's possession, is now in the
British Museum Library. For a description of the volume see Life of Lope de
Vega, pp. 156, 157 and n.
2. Schack, Nachtrdge, 40. Lope, in the preface to the Pei-egrino, stated that
this volume was printed in Castile, and [warned readers against believing that
these coinedias were his, though thev bore his name. The last, Carlos el Per-
seguido is his, though probably corrupt. [Barr.].
According to a letter to Chorley from Ticknor, dated November 5, 1857,
there exists in the Ambrosian Library at Milan an edition with the same title
and contents, except that the title-page reads : Con licencia de la Santa Inquisi-
cion y Or dinario. En Madrid. Impreso por Pedro Madrigal. Aiio 1603, v. Life
of Lope, p. 157.
It may be supposed that there was only one edition, some copies with the
true indication of place and printer, and others with a false indication of the
same. [Hartzenbusch]. In Quaritch's Bihliotheca Hispana, London, 1895, a
copy of the edition of Madrid 1603, is described as follows :
No. 1439 • — ^^^^ Coniedias de Lope de Vega Carpio, y de otros avtores cvios

dacion de la Alhambra 3. De los amigos enojados. 4. De la libertad de
Castilla. 5. Delas hazanas del Cid. 6. Del perseguido Con licencia... En
Madrid, Impresso por Pedro Madrigal Ano MDCIII. The catalogue states
further : The names of the writers besides Lope are not given in the book ;
but No. 6 is the Carlos el Perseguido of Lope (v.'ith numerous passages in the
text which were altered in the edition of 1604). — No. 4. « Comedia de la
libertad de Castilla por el Conde Fernan Goncalez, en lengua antigua » is
not the play of the same name by Lope, but totally distinct. — N". 5 . « Ha-

The various editions of Parte I differ as regards the loas and
entrenieses. I believe that all the editions contain the eleven loas
at the beginning. The editions of Valladolid, 160-), Amberes
1607, Milan i6i9and Zaragoza 1626 contain no entrenieses. The
ed. of Valencia 1605 lacks some of the entrenieses, while in the
ed. of \'alladolid 1609 they are at the end of the volume.

I. There is a volume noted in Graessc, Tre'sor, which is not mentioned by

Ijoas, doce Comedias y doce enlrenuses de Lope de Vega. Milan, 161 7, 8°
(Caldlogo de Rodriguez). It seems more likely, however, that this may be
an edition of Parte I, with the entrenieses.

I. This Third Part and the Fifth, ahhough generally included in the

Aulores .
Baron von MOuch-Bellinghauscn, in the work entitled Ueber die aelleren
Sammlutigeii S/yanisiher Draiiieti, Vienna, 1852, p. 133, conjectures that this
Third Part was printed before 161 3, perhaps in Seville, or more probabl\ at
Valencia. These doubts are cleared up by my discovery of a Barcelona edi-

I. In reference to this Fifth Part, Barrera adds the following note : « Accord-
ing to Fajardo, there was printed at Seville a Oiiiuta Parte de Comedias dc Lope,
containing the pieces :
1. El Amor enamorado.
2. Las Bizarrias de Belisa.
La Historia de Mazagatos.
3. El Desprecio agradecido.
-\- El Animal profeta, San Julian.
4. El Guante de Dona Blanca.
El Gran Cardenal de Espana, don Pedro Gonzalez de Mendoza.
5. La mayor Vitoria de Alemania.
6. La mayor Virtud de un Rey.
Nardo Antonio, Bandolero .
7. Porfiando vence Amor.
8. Si no vieran las Mugeres.
La Barrera refers to this Part five other pla\-s by diflerent authors. Upon
this Hartzenbusch remarks that as volumes of Comedias usually contain
twelve pieces, it seems strange that this volume should contain seventeen. See
Comedias escogidas de Lope de Ve^a, vol. IV, p. 538 ti. (Bibl. de Autores Espa-
iloh's) ,
In a note Chorley observes that La Barrera is mistaken . « The eight plays
numbered i... 8 (which are given in the Vega del Parnasd) are thus cited by
Fajardo : « En Parte Quinta de Madrid » ; or : « En su Parte Quinta ». Only
El Animal Profeta, which is generally ascribed to Mira de Mescua, is given
by Fajardo as suelta en Sevilla. I have a snelta of this plav (printed, appar-
ently, during the first half of the eighteenth century) in which it is ascribed
to Lope, and to whom, in the opinion of Menendez y Pelayo, it rightfully
belongs.

p. 469. But the « libro de la Hermandad de impresores de Madrid, » mentions
the « 11" y I2» partes de Comedias, de dos impresiones ». As both Parts, XI
and XII of the edition of Madrid give only the « viuda de Alonso Martin » as
the printer, it is probable that Part XI, like Part XII, was printed in
part by both printers, Juan dc la Cucsta and the widow Alonso Martin. See
below, Part XII.

apart from pieces with which Lope admittedly had nothing to do, all the
comedias cited by Antonio are known in other Partes or in siieltas : with the
exception of El Hourado con su Sangre, and this, as Gayangos suggests, may
possiblv be the piece which passes under the name of Claramonte. See Life oj

Dieze, in his translation of Velazquez, refers to a Parte XXIV, Madrid,
1638, which — so he says — contains plays different from those included in
the Zaragoza editions of 16^3 and 164I. Is it possible that the volume of which
Dieze speaks is identical with the above-noted edition of Madrid, 1640 ? See
Ticknor, History of Span. Lit. (Boston, 1888), Vol. II, p. 245, n. 36, who
mentions an edition of Part XXIV at Madrid, 1638.
I. La Cru:(eu la Sepultura and La ludustria contra el Poder y el Honor contra
la Fuer^a were both printed in Parte Veinte y Ocho de Comedias de varios
Autores, Huesca, 1634, where they are both ascribed to Lope. The slight dif-
ferences that exist between La Cru^ en la Sepultura and Calderon's La Devo-
cion dc la Cru^ had long since been pointed out by Hartzenbusch in his edition
of Calderon {Bib. de Aut. lisp.), Vol. IV, pp. 654, 659 and 701. The greatest
variation is near the beginning of Act III, where the Huesca edition introduces

but which contain pieces by him and others, are included later
among those of Diferentes Aittoies. To this Chorley appends the
following observations.
FRAGMENTS OF
PARTHS F.XTRAVAGANTES : COMEDIAS DE SEVILLA, ETC.
The reference to this Parle XXVI and the two following
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LOPE DE VEGA 3)
Partes XXVII and XXFIII, as well as the reference to the
volume of Coniedias de Sevilla (See Life of Lope, p. 442, n. 2) are
introduced by La Barrera on the sole authority of Fajardo's
Index. He omits to give the reader the very necessary informa-
tion that, so far as can be ascertained at present, these volumes
do not exist, save in some fragments which have been preserved
in three made-up volumes (joinos colecticios) in the Osuna
Library, numbered respectively : 131, 132, and 133, described
by Schack, Nachlrdge, pp. 41-42.
In an article upon these Partes Extravagantes published in 1906,
I came to the following conclusions : (i) « That a Parte XXVI
extravagante did exist, (a) on the strength of Fajardo's assertion,
and (b) because of the corroborative evidence in the Osuna Vols.
131 and 132, and (c) because Lope de Vega in his El Despvecio
agradecido distinctly says that there was such a Parte XXVI. (2)
I believe, too, most strongly, that there was a Parte XXVII
extravagante : (a) on the assertion of Fajardo, which is confirm-
ed by (b) the plays in the Osuna Vol. 133, by the fragments
possessed by Salva (Vol. I, 548), and by (c) Chorley's fragment
of Los Vargas de Castilla, corresponding to fF. 123-146 of this
Osuna Vol. 133 ». The case of Parte XXVIII extravagante is
doubtful. The list of plays it is supposed to contain, according
to Barrera {Cat., p. 683), consists of but ten coniedias. It is
strange that with the exception of El Trato miida Costumbres
(which occurs in Vol. XXX Diferentes of Zaragoza, 1636, under
t4ie title El Marido bai^e Miiger), all the plays mentioned by
Fajardo as being in Parte XXVIII, extravagante are given in
Part XXVIII, Diferentes of Huesca, 1634 (Barr. p. 684). See
Rennert, Notes on some Comedias of Lope de Vega, in Mod. Lang.
Revieiv (1906), p. 98. On a Parte XXIX extravagante, see Stie-
fel, in Zeitschrijt f. rom. Phil., XXX, 554.

doba : 1 61 3 ^
* Las Firmezas de Isabela [by Gongora].
1. I am ignorant of Chorley's authority for this statement concerning
Julian Romero ; Schack (Nachtrdge, p. 42), who certainly saw these Osuna
volumes, merely states that « to the title El Medico de sii Honra, de Lope de
Vega, Fajardo added : « esta impresa en la Parte vcinte y siete extravagante de
Lope, Barcelona, 1633. » As the foliation of this fragment is consecutive,
Julian Romero occupying ff. 101-122, this play must have been contained in
the same volume, /. e. Parte XXVII, extravagante. Although I have inquired
repeatedly at the Bib. Nacional for these Osuna volumes, I have never suc-
ceeded in seeing them. They must have been used by Menendez y Pelayo, for he
printed two plays from it : Lan\a par Lan^a, la de Luis de Alman:(a and El
Medico de su Honra, both in Vol. IX, of the Academy's edition. He states,
moreover, that he has never seen the parte segunda of Lania por Lan^a,
which is not in the Osuna volume, as, indeed the foliation (ff. 21-38) proves
that this volume contains only one part, the first. If these Osuna volumes are
no longer to be found in the Biblioteca Nacional, thev must now be in San-
tander.
2, Chorley notes that tiie Cdrdoba edition, which seems to be the princeps
(the licenses are dated Madrid, 1612 and 1613) is in Gayangos's collection;
Chorley also refers to La Barrera, p. 707, who states that the names of the
authors are not given in the Tabla, but in the text. El Lacayo jingido bears
Lope's name. The title of the third play is given as J.as Bnrlas y Enredos de
Benito.

1. In his revised copy, Chorley has struck out the headings and contents of
Partes XXVI, XXVII and XXVIII. Chorley there states, and he repeats the
assertion elsewhere, that La Barrera gives these Partes extravagantes solely
on the authority of Fajardo, from whom he copies his entries. I think, however,
that Chorley pushes his scepticism somewhat too far. On the whole the
balance of evidence seems to me to favor the conclusion that there did exist
a Parte XXVI, extravagante and a Parle XXVII, extravagante, and quite apart
from La Barrera (Catdhgo, p. 682) and Men^ndez y Pelayo appears to be of
the same opinion. At all events, if only for the sake of completeness, it is
advisable to set out the contents of these Partes which were included in Chor-
ley's first draft. See my article cited above (p. 35) and Life of Lope, pp. 346
and 354-55 5-
2. This volume must have first appeared before 1635, as Lope mentions a
Parte XXVI of his Coniedias in El Desprecio agradecido. Vega del Paniaso (1637),
fol. 155.

Parte quarenta y quatro de Comedias de diferentes Autores. En
Zaragoza por los herederos de Pedro Lanaja y Lamarca. Ano dc
1652. (Vienna, Munch-Bellinghausen, p. 26 (p. 125). The
volume in the Vienna Library is merely a collection of suellas
with a title-page, but no Aprobacion or preliminary leaves. The
names of the authors are given in the plays.
I . To this La Barrera appends the following note :
Comedias de Lopede Vega(j otros Autores) a volume printed at Seville, repeat-
edly cited by Fajardo, and surviving in a fragment (consisting of six comedias),
which forms part of the made-up volume, number 132, of the Library of the
Duke of Osuna. The pieces in this very rare book which may, more or less
doubtfuUv, be ascribed to Lope are :
1. El Conde don Pedro Velez. (Fajardo : « En C. de Sevilla. » Osuna.
T. 132.)
2. La adversa Fortuna del Infante don Fernando de Portugal. (Fajardo :
i< En C. de Sevilla. » T. 132. Osuna.)
5. La Pena de Francia. (Possibly by Tirso de Molina*. (Fajardo : <■ En C. de
Sevilla. » T. 132. Osuna.)
4. El Leon apostolico y Cautivo corouado. (Fajardo : « En C. de Sevilla.
T. 132. Osuna.)
5. El Esclavo fingido. (Fajardo : « En C. de Sevilla. » T. 152. Osuna.)
6. Don Manuel de Sousa, 6 el Naufragio prodigioso. (Fajardo : « En C. dc
Sevilla. -> T. 132. Osuna.)
7. El Conde Fernan Gonzalez y Libertad dc Castilla. (Fajardo : « En C. dc
Sevilla. » T. 132. Osuna.)
8. El Hijo piadoso, y Bohemia convertida. (Fajardo : « En C. de Sevilla. »
T. 152. Osuna.)
9. El Maldito de su Padre, y valiente Bandolero. (Fajardo: " En C. de
Sevilla. T. 132. Osuna.)
Only the first six of these plays, according to Chorley, are in the above-
mentioned Tomo 152 in the Osuna Library : see also La Barrera, Caldlogo,
p- 683, and Comedias escogidas de Lope, vol. IV, p. 541.
aChorley conjectures that La Peiia de Francia may be an alternative title of
El Casamiento en la Miurie. Parte I. P^ . As to the Comedias de Sevilla, he refers
to his previous statement (above, p. 35), and points out that Fajardo men-

5. La Historia de Maragatos. « P^e. 5 de Sevilla antigua. »
4. Nardo Antonio Vandolcro. « P'";. 5 impr. en Sevilla ». T. 131. Osuna.
Fajardo also mentions three other plays which are not by Lope.
Concerning La Peila de Francia, Cotarelo (Comedias de Tirso de Molina, II,
xxx) says: « En la Bib. Nacional existe un manuscrito antiguo (num. 15632)
de esta obra, atribuido a Lope y a Tirso, en letras diferentes entre si y distin-
tas tambien de la del texto. Esta lleno de acotaciones y tachaduras, como des-
tinado a la rcprescntacion en el teatro, segun demucstra tambien el reparto en
las jornadas 2a-y 3". Con el titulo de La Pefia de Francia se imprimid en una
Parte extravagante de Lope, sin ano, pero de Sevilla, segun D. Juan Isidro
Fajardo que la \\6, El Casamienlo en la Mnerte dt aquel gran poeta. Esto seria
causa deque en el Caldlogo de Medel (1735), V luego en el de Huerta, se con-
servase este litulo ; no confundiendola con la dc Tirso de Molina, que tam-
bien mencionan, sino por creer se trata de dos obras de igual titulo. La Pena de
Francia no intervicne, sin embargo, mas que como insignificante episodic en
la obra de Lope. »
It should be remarked, besides, that the first play in the Osuna volume 132:
En la mayor Lealtad mayor Agravio {La Lealtad en el Agravio) is undoubtedly
Lope's, and Menindez y Pclayo has reprinted it in the Academy's edition,
vol. VIII.

In the Imperial Library at Vienna (Miinch-Bellinghausen,
p. 55 (140)) there are two editions of this Parte VI o{ Coined ias

de Lanaja, del Reyno de Aragon » : One appeared in 1653, the
REVUE HISPANIQUE. G. 4
50 HUGO A. RENNERT
Other in 1654. These volumes lack consecutive pagination, and
differ wholly in their contents. The Zaragoza edition of 1654 is
a reprint of the Madrid ed. of 1654, ^^ which there are copies
in the Brit, Mus. and the Bodleian. For the contents of the edi-
tion of 1654, which does not contain a single play of Lope, see
Schack, III, p. 525 ; La Barrera, p. 689, col. 2. The volume of
1653, the contents of which are given by Munch-Bellinghausen,
has the following pieces by Lope.
Mirad a quien alabais. (Parte XVL)
Dineros son Calidad. (Parte XXIV, Zaragoza, 1633.)
Las Mocedades de Bernardo del Carpio. (In Parte XXIX of
Comcdias de Lope y otros, Huesca, 1634.)
Satisfazer callando y Princesa de los Montes. [See Parte
XXXVII, where a piece of the same title, which Chorley believ-
ed to be the same as this, and to be written by Lope, is ascrib-
ed to Moreto : it appears in Parte III of Moreto, Madrid, 1681,
In the latter edition it is entitled Los Hernianos enconirados (0
satisfacer callando). It is not in Part III of Moreto, 1676 and
1703, which I possess].

however, is El Monstruo dela Fortuna, la Lavandera de Napoles,
Fell pa Cutanea.]

by him, but by Lope ; it is certainly in Lope's manner.]

ascribed to Moreto or to Lope. Chorley thinks that it is by Lope,

of ancient stieltas, one of which contains the following pieces by

fought on the royalist side at the beginning of the Civil War. In 1658 he was

doubtful stii'llas in the Chorley collection, Life of Lope, p. 347,
and alphabetical list in this volume.]

sent as diplomatic agent to Madrid, whence he returned after the Restoration
of Charles II, with whom he was a special favourite. He brought back with
him the collection now in the British Museum, and appears to have acquired
at Madrid a certain pomposity of demeanour which excited the ridicule of his
contemporaries. He was raised to the peerage as Baron ArUngton in 1663, and
joined the Cabal : an earldom was conferred on him in 1672. The fussy,
slippery politician Arlington is now perhaps best remembered as a collector of
Lope's works. He died in 1685. See an excellent sketch of his career by Mr.
Osmund .\iry in the Dictionary of National Biography (London, l88>), IV,
p. 250.

I. La Barrera (fiatdlogo, p. 708) refers to this volume, which appeared at
Valencia in 1646, as Parte XXXXXVII. Lest the student should be mislead
by this misprint, it may be as well to state that the volume is really the
thirty-seventh of the Diferentes, and that it should have been entered on
p. 686 of the Catdlogo. Chorley duly informed Gayangos of its existence, but
Gayangos, apparently, did not communicate the information to La Barrera
until the printing of the Catdlogo had almost reached its last stage, and in the
■final hurry of transcription and impression two superfluous X's were inserted.
The one copy known of this Parte XXXVII, is in the Library of the Univer-
sity of Bologna. Ticknor (III, 519), thinks this has a false title-page, printed
later than its date.

it added by Sr. Paz ? Cotarelo (Tirso de Molina. Iiivestigacioiies,

that it is composed of two distinct manuscripts, the most ancient
consistingof the parchment cover and the last two leaves, with
the license dated Zaragoza. 1626. The rest of the MS. according

950. Los Novios de Hornachuelos. Velez de Guevara (auto-
grafo).
There were two MSS. in the Osuna library, according to
Rocamora, one of which he calls an autograph. There are two
manuscripts now in the Bib. Nac, presumably the same two,
though only the second one is marked (O). They are registered
by Paz y Melia, Cat. B. N. under No. 2391, but not a word is
said about an autograph. The first MS. bears a license dated
Valencia, October 15, 1629, and is ascribed to Luis Velez de
Guevara and Medrano. Each act is in a different hand, the first by
a hand oi the xviii century. The otlier MS. (Osuna) consists

only of acts I and U, written by the same hand that wrote act III,
of the previous MS. It bears a date 1627. The play occurs as a
siielta with Lope's name, but on the authority of these manu-
scripts it has often been attributed to Guevara. [Menendez y Pelayo,
however, has published it as Lope's in Academy, X.]

ed the assertion in his Catdlogo, p. 437. However, in a letter to Chorley,
dated April t866 he admitted that both were merely copies, though he believ-
ed (so he said), that El Maestro de daniar was copied directly from the auto-
graph. These manuscripts of La Barrera were transferred after his death to the

In the Prologue to this book the poet says : « Para mi lo son
[enemigos] los que con mi nombre imprimen agenas obras.
Agora han salido algunas Comedias, que, impresas en Caslilla,
dicen que enLisboa» [alluding, apparently to the volume entitled
Scis Comedias de Lope yotros, Lisboa, 1603, but which were also
printed in Madrid in the same year. It is probable, as Lope says,
that the book was really never actually printed in Lisboa], « y
assi quiero advertir a los que leen mis escritos con aficion... que
no crean que aquellas son mis comedias, aunque tengan mi
nombre : y para que las conozcan, me ha parecido acertado
poner aqui los suyos [? titulos] porque se conozcan », etc. Upon
this follows a list (P.) of 219 titles : to which was added after-
wards in the Sixth Edition of i6i8,a supplementary list (P\)of
208 more, making a total of 427 which Lope recognized as his

Until La Barrera, in revising the present Catalogue, called
attention to the edition of 161 8 — which, as he stated afterwards
in his Catd logo general (M:idr\d, i860, p. 423), « el propio Lope
repitio ' » — the supplementary list was only known from its
I. Lope received the first privilege and license of the king to print his Peie-
orino (or ten years, on December 6, 1603. In the edition of 1618 we read
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LOPE DE VEGA I()C)
being included in the Madrid edition of 1733 : and it was erro-
neously supposed to have been published for the first time
almost a hundred years after the poet's death, its authority was
ranked below that of the original list. It should be noted that
Cerda y Rico, when publishing the fifth volume of the Ohras
siteltas (ic Lope in ijj6, cited the editions of 1604, 1605, 1608
and 1733 as the First, Second, Third and Fourth Editions respec-
tively; and, so far as I am aware, until La Barrera drew up the
above list, in no other work was there any description of the
princeps of Sevilla (1604), or of the more important 1618 edi-
tion of Madrid. We are indebted to him for restoring to the sup-
plementary list the authority which it lacked so long as it was
not proved to have been published during Lope's lifetime and —
so La Barrera impUes — v/ith his revision.
Thus we now have two authentic lists of comedias written
by Lope — 219 previous to the year 1604, and 208 others pre-
vious to the year i6i8'. But neither list includes the titles of
all the pieces which he had written up to these dates respecti-
vely. As to the original list, in the very Prologue which con-
tains it. Lope resumes his remarks after giving the list, and
speaks of 230 comedias — instead of 219 actually in the list —
« sin mitchas de que no nic acuerdo. » And at the same point, in the
Prologue to the edition of 161 8, where the titles amount to
427, he speaks — not of this number, but — of 462.
that he received the privilege « for another four vears », on December 17,
i'6i4. As the« fee de erratas » of this latter edition is dated February 13, 1618,
it is probable that Lope may have had a hand in making up this supplemen-
tary list. On the other hand, as this edition was printed at the expense of
Lope's friend, Alonso Perez, it may he due to the latter. In any event, it was
doubtless inserted with Lope's knowledge and sanction. [H.A.R.j
I. It may be well to observe that in the edition of 1618, the list of 1604
was simply repeated, line for line, and 113 titles were added. The additional
list was not drawn up very carefully, moreover, as a number of titles are repeat-
ed from the first list. [H.A.R.J
no HUGO A, RENNERT
(i) But even the latter number does not reach the total ot
comcdias which he had composed as far back as 1609 : for, in
the Arte nnevo de hacer comedias, published in that year, he says
that he had already written 483 comedias.
(2) Nor does it greatly exceed balfihe number of those which
he had actually written up to 16 18 : for in the Prologue to
Parte XI of his Comedias, the Aprobacion to which is dated
February 16 18, he says that the number had already reached
800. [See Life of Lope, p. 269 . ]
There are a number of plays, even among those that have been
preserved, which, as they do not contain 2iny figiira del donayre,
were probably written before the end of the sixteenth century,
though not cited in the 1603 list :
El Desposorio encubierto. Parte XIII, 1620.
El Exemplo de Casadas. Flor de Comedias, V, 161 6.
Las famosas Asturianas. Parte XVIII, 1623.
La Imperial de Oton. Parte VIII, 16 17.
El Casamiento en la Muerte. (P-.) Parte I, 1604.
Lo fingido Verdadero. (P-. El mejor Representantc.) Parte
XVI, 1621.
La Amistad pagada. Parte I, 1604.
El Niiio inocente de la Guardia. (P-.) Parte VIII, 1617 '.
Whatever may have been the cause of the difference between
the lists and the Prologues, and of the deficiencies of the lists as
regards the actual number of Lope's works prior to 16 18 —
whether due to the author's own carelessness or neglect on the
part of the printers — it is certain that no exclusive authority
can be ascribed to these lists. It is absurd to quote them —
unless supported by other reasons — as justification for rejecting
any piece attributed to Lope. We are not entitled to deprive him
I . At this point Chorley had cited a number of plays as lacking in the List
of 161 8. Willi one or two exceptions, however, the plays mentioned are all in
this list.

SUMMARY OF THE LISTS IN THE PHREGKIXO.
Of the 219 pieces named in the original list (P) of
1603 (including some which probably exist under other
titles, but omitting those which, though noted by Medel,
have not reached us) there survive in print or in manu-
script 103 .
Of the 208 pieces named in the supplementary list (P-)
ot 1 6 18, there survive in print or in manuscript 150.

Of the 427 pieces named in the two lists, there are
inedited or lost 174 •

NOTE ON THE COMEDIAS WHICH CONTAIN NO FIGVRA DEL DOXAYRE.
The poet first introduced the figitra del donayrc in La Francesilla
(Parte XIII). This play, as he tells us in the dedication, was
written before 1602, and perhaps even before the end of the
sixteenth century. The character was received with so much
applause that it subsequently became almost indispensable. Of the
coinedias played from the first third of the seventeenth century
till the downfall of the National Theatre, none is without this
role ; and it is practically certain that not only Lope, but also all
the dramatists of his time, introduced ihejigura del donayre into
the coinedias which were written after La Francesilla. Thus,
speaking generally, we may presume (with a high degree of pro-
bability) that the coinedias (by Lope or others) in which this
character is absent date from before the year 1602. As appears
from the foregoing list of the coinedias by Lope, issued in his
Special Collection, there are at least 72 without a gracioso; and
of these we may assign the majority (if not the whole) to his
first period — the closing decade of the sixteenth century.
The comedias of this class — the titles of which are given in
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LOPE DE VEGA I 3 I
the original list of the Peregrino — do not include all those in
print, and hence it may be conjectured that they precede La Fran-
cesilla in point of time. In the Special Collection of Lope's Comc-
dias, for example, we find the following — all without a Jigura
del donayre — and their style and construction are not character-
istic of Lope in his maturity :
Amistad pagada (La). Parte L 1604.
Casamiento (El) en la Muertc. P\ Parte L
Desposorio (El) encubierto. P-. Parte XIIL 1620.
Exemplo (El)de las Casadas. P-. Flor de Coinedias, Parte V.
1616.
Famosas (Las) Asturianas. P-. Parte XVIII, 1623.
Fingido (Lo) verdadero. P'. El mejor Representante, Parte
XVI, 1 62 1.
Nino (El) inocente. P\ Parte VIII'.
It is not, however, to be understood that Lope, after inventing
the gracioso, introduced this character into all his subsequent
pieces. Proof to the contrary is afforded by El Bastardo Madarra,
which exists in an autograph dated 1612, and has no figura del
donayre. And I imagine that in other plays which Lope wrote
towards the beginning of the seventeenth century — plays on
historical subjects, and the plays which he called tragicomedias —
the not unfrequent omission of the comic personage is deliber-
ate. Perhaps among this class were :
Las famosas Asturianas.
La Imperial de Oton.
Lo Fingido verdadero.
Moreover, it should be observed that even when graciosos are
introduced into plays of this kind, Lope presents these charac-
ters most discreetly. He never allows them to degenerate into
impertinence, as did the other dramatists of his period in their
I. The comedia La Lealtaden la Tmycion has no figura del donayre, though
the MS. noted by Hartzenbusch and La Barrera (see ante, p. 81) is said to be
dated 1617. But there may be some mistake as to the year.
IT^2 HUGO A. RENNERT
serious plays : and as Calderon, and his contemporaries, did in
still greater measure. As examples of Lope's fine judgment in
this matter, take the comedias entitled :
El Conde Fernan Gonzalez, Parte XIX, and, Las Batuecas
Parte XXIIL
Here the jests are few in number, and are allotted to plebeians.
His good taste is further illustrated by his assignment of comic
passages to the servants in such pieces as
Las Cuentas del Gran Capitan and La Inocente Sangre.
In the following plays, which have no comic role, there were
probably special reasons for its omission :
El Premio de la Hermosura, Parte XVI. We learn from the
dedication that this piece was written — not for the public
theatre, but — by command of the Queen (Philip Ill's wife,
Doiia Margarita of Austria) who died in 1611. It was destined
to be played in the Palace before the royal family and court,
and we are expressly informed — «^ que la traia fue de las damas ».
It would appear that this comcdia was written very shortly before
161 1, for the dedication implies that the Infantes acted in the
play,
Dios hace Reyes, Parte XXIIL The author inaugurated the
Alcazar Theatre' (Casiano Pellicer, I, p. 161) with this play on
July 28, 1621, the corrales having been closed from March 31
on account of Philip Ill's death. Pellicer adds : « the representa-
tion was such that there was no dancing in it. » This was probab-
ly due to the fact that the period of mourning was not yet
over; and for the same reason, it may be presumed that Lope
purposely refrained from presenting a ^rflJc/aso in a play written for
the occasion. [J. R. C.]
I. There is a slight mistake here: there was no Alcazar Theatre in Madrid.
Alcazar is a mis-reading for Alcaraz [Diego Lopez de], the name of the atitor de
comedias whose theatrical company gave the first representation when the
theatres were again opened at Madrid. See my Spanish Stage, ^. 229, and note 4.

S. (J. R. C). According to Schack (Nacblrdge, p. 40), it is the
same as ElEmbajador fingido, printed for the first time at Lisbon
or Seville, about 1603. [Schack says that he has grounds for
presuming the existence of such a volume : no Spanish biblio-
grapher, however, has ever seen it or mentioned it.] And while
we read the same statement in the Cat. B. N. No. 420, this is
mere conjecture. It is not in the Seis Comedias de Lope de Vega
Carpio, Lisboa, Pedro Crasbeeck, 1603, nor in the Madrid issue
of the same year. See La Barrera, Catdlogo, p. 679, and LifeoJ
Lope de Vega, p. 157. n. Chorley thinks that Schack is mistaken,
and that this play is later than La Francesilla. He bases his opin-
ion on the maturity of the style and on the fact that a Jigura
del donayre is introduced in the person of Tarquino. He points
to Acertar errando as a play which alone suffices to refute the
assertion that the Spanish drama is weak in the drawing of char-
acter; and notes that the expedient employed by Aurora to get
speech with Carlos is appropriated by Calderon in El mayor
Encanto Amor. Invention apart, Chorley ranks Lope's play much
above Calderon's performance, and bestows warm praise on the
First Scene of the Second Act. The suelta ends thus :

Adultera penitente (La). — S. (Gayangos). Doubtful. Medel
mentions an Adultera Penitente, and there is an auto by Lope
(MS.) in the Osuna collection, entitled La Adultera perdonada.
[This auto is now printed in Acad. III. The comedia is probably
by tres ingenios : Moreto, Matos and Cancer. See Cat. B. N.
No. 50. It is printed in Escog. IX.] In my copy of the suella of
this play (Madrid, Antonio Sanz, 1738), it is ascribed to the
three ingenios just mentioned.

In Doce Comedias de Lope de Vega y otros autores, Huesca, 1634,

author of this play uses the pseudonym Lisardo ; so, too, in
Arniinda celosa. \ Lisardo is the pseudonym of Luis de Vargas
Manrique. a brother of the Condesa de Siruela, D\ Isabel Man-
rique de Vargas ; he was a friend of Lope, and wrote plays, as is
well known. He wrote comedias in Madrid in 1585 (?) for Mateo

that the MS. in question is the conicdia of the same title b

Ania:^onas as one of the comedias which Calderon did not writ(

the author of the Briichsiiick that was translated by Schlege

says Menendez y Pelayo, « the play is Lope's, which does not pre-

This play has no true figiira del donayre : for, though Bato is a

thinks that La Arcadia, though (in its present form) it is much
later than La Francesilla, was among the earlier pieces of the
author, who re-touched it before publication in 1620. Crawford
Mod. Lang. Rev. Vol. Ill, says it was probably written in 161 5.

a curious omission in the Third Act. In the Third Scene between
Lisbella and the bawd Marcela, after the verse — Fete y bolveras

omitted when Leonardo surprises his wife with the Count's

this play to be a re-cast by some alitor de comedias of two pieces
by Lope which are now unknown. In its present form Chorley
148 HUGO A. RENXERT
cannot accept the \vhole play as authentic, but some passages
may (he thinks) be by Lope. In a copy of Chorley's Catalogue
which he gave to Ticknor, is the following note in Chorley's
hand : « Bernardo del Carpio. Segiinda Parte. It is undoubtedly
Lope's, and what makes it more precious is that it completes
the trilogy (imperfect up to this time) in the life of the hero.

Las Vicarrias de Velisa was represented by Andres de la Vega

course, is a mistake, as the play was not finished at that date. The
money (800 reals) was received by Andres de la Vega on Octo-
ber 29, 1635, for four particnlares given before the king in
April and May, not of 1634, but, in all probability in 1635,

La Barrera states that it is not by Lope. On the other hand,
Chorley savs he thinks it possible that Lope is the author, though
he would not venture to affirm it positively. The play, which
has no figiira del donayre, is in Lope's first manner, and it is not
unworthy of him. There is a MS. (Osuna) of this coniedia in

slightly altered title : Las Bttrlas de Benitico. Of this MS. Sr.

Sr. Pax queries whether Benavides may be the author of Las
Burlas de Benitico, but, from the above it follows that Benavides
was merely the owner of these plays ; in all probability he was a
sort of theatrical broker — one who furnished costumes and plays
for festivals. Los Enredos de Benitillo, doubtless the same play,
was represented at Nava del Carnero on August 8, 1593 by
Gabriel Nunez, autor de coniedias. Perez Pastor. Nnevos Datos,

3.) Biirlas veras o El Amor invencionero y Espaholade Florencia.
— Fajardo. This comedia is ascribed to Caideron in Escog. XII,
and in a sudta (J. R. C). Restori {Studj di FiloJogia roinan~a,
fasc. XV (1891), p. 132), describes a snclfa : Sevilla, Viuda de
Fr'°. Leefdael, in which it is also attributed (erroneamente, he
says) to Caideron. With the title o( Espahola de Florencia Vera
Tassis cites it among the apocryphal plays that pass under Cal-
deron's name. A passage in Lucrecia's speech (Act I) contains an
allusion which seems sufficient to prove that Lope cannot have
written this comedia :
Huyo de todo extreme como vicio,
Entre Goiigora y Lope, decir puedo,
ni mui facilidad, ni mui enredo.
See Schack, Geschichte, III, 280, who thinks it may be Calde-
ron's . This play has also been published by Rosenberg (Phila-
delphia, 191 1), who ascribes it to Caideron. On La Espahola de
Florencia see Stiefel in Zlft. XXXVI, 437, who has collected a
mass of data to show the probable authorship of Lope de Vega,
rheir cumulative effect is very strong and he has made out a
vQxy good case. Certainly he has greatly shaken the ascription to
[Caideron. See also an article by the same scholar in Bausteine.

(and V. p. 721), but it is an entirely different work and Menen-
dez y Pelayo observes that it is not Claramonte's, because it is
well written and in good veise, while Claramonte's versification
was very incorrect. The MS. in Claramonte's hand is really Alvaro
Cubillo de Aragon's La mayor Vengan:^a de Honor of Parte X of
Escog. Madrid, 1658. v. SchaefTer, II, 96; Restori, Ztft. XXX,

The play, in fact, was written in 1593 o^ earlier, for Gabriel
Nuiiez agreed to represent the play at Nava del Carrero on July 9,

this is El Testimonio vengado, P. ; I . But Chorley inclines tc
think that this view may be mistaken. In El Teslinwnio vengado
Ramiro avenges — not himself, but — his step-mother (consorl
of Don Sancho el Magno), whose three children bear false
witness against her.

with this title it is also given in Parte III. of his Comedias
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LOPE DE VEGA I 59
(Valencia, 1703, in my cop}^), and in Escog. XXIX. This play
of Moreto's is founded on El Testimonio vengado. Schaeffer,

Lope wrote two pieces, one with the supplementary title Ln
Pntdencia en el Castigo, the other with that of El Testimonio ven-

lost.

read :
« Aqueste es el fm que dio
a la fabula Batilo. »
BaliJo is the poetical pseudonym of Matias de los Reyes,
■t Diablo (El) Nino. — M. ; H. ; S. (Duran ; Holland). Chorley
possessed a sueha of this play entitled El Nino Diablo. The Osuna
MS. El Nino Diablo, Cat. B. N. No. 2308, ascribed to Lope de
Vega (Rocamora, No. 923) is doubtless by Luis Velez, who
uses his poetical name Lauro, at the end of the play, and promises
a second part.

play of this title in Escog. XX, to judge by its style, may well
be Lope's. It is there ascribed to Rojas; but, as Chorley observes,
in his authentic plays Rojas introduces a gracioso. There is no
such character in the present comedia, which is probably a re-

cast of Lope's piece. See the very interesting study : La dijunla

unquestionably Lope's, though portions show the hand of an-
other. It has been imitated by Cancer, Zabaleta and Martinez in
La Ra{oii hace Dichosos and by Vera Ordonez and Jose de Ribera
in Mcrccer dc la Forhuia Ensal:ia)nie}itos dichosos, and suggested

Osuna collection, with Caspar de Alarcon's name attached to it,

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LOPE DE VEGA 1 73
this play was printed in Parte XXII, Zaragoza, 1630, under the

Las Qtiinas de Portugal : with this title there is also a conieilia
by Tirso de Molina.
En los Indicios la Culpa. — XXII, Zaragoza, 1630. La Bar-
rera (Crt/. p. 435, col. i), says that a MS. apparently an auto-
graph (dated 1620), of this coiiiaiia, formerly existed in the
Library of the Duke of Osuna. It must have disappeared before
1882, the date of Rocamora's Catalogue, for he does not men-

doubts the accuracy of the ascription to Lope.

La Envidia de la Noble:{a is the same as Cegries y Bencerragcs .
The latter is cited in P . , and must be an early play . Menendez
says, speaking o{ La Envidia delaNol)le:ia: « Its style and versifi-
cation, and especially the abundance of decimas, induce me to
believe that it is much later and that it belongs to the poet's later
years. » Academy, Vol. XI. From the forms of the Arabic names,
Restori thinks this comedia (La Envidia) later than 1608, the
date of the appearance of Bermudez de Pedraza's Aniiguedad

play, though not mentioned in P., may have been written
before the close of the sixteenth century. The absence of the
figtira del donayre and (still more) the style tend to confirm the
suspicion. Chorley notes the piece as a very good one of that
period. Schaeffer (I, 170) thinks the play was probably printed
from a rough draft of Lope's. It is the story of Griselda, and is
founded on Boccaccio's Decamerone, X,. lo.

d in the same year. With the same title and also with the

( Lope finishes his play promising a second part. This should
;reat of the fall and murder of the famous privado Alvar Nuiiez de
Dsorio, and from the concluding verses it appears that the title
should be La Etieria de la Envidia or something similar. Now,
imong the inedited comedias of Lope, or those N\hich have
been considered lost down to the present date, is La Envidia
y la Privan^a, which may well be this Second Part. »

Francesilla (La). — P. ; XIII. « Representola el famoso Rios ».
In the dedication to « el licenciado Juan Perez [de MontalvanJ
en la Universidad de Alcala », Lope states that this was the
first play in which the Jii^iirn del donayre was introduced, adding:
« quando yo la escriui no auia nacido [MontalvanJ. » Montalvan
was born in 1602. Speaking generally, those of Lope's pieces
in whicii the said fi^iira does not appear may perhaps be taken
as being written earlier than 1594, and possibly even a good
deal earlier : for in the Maestro dc daiiiar, composed in 1594,
the character of the servant Belardo suggests the gracioso type.
At the same time, though no doubt i\\t figiira del donayre appears
in most of Lope's comedias subsequent to La Francesilla^ there
are notable exceptions in the case of plays dealing with serious
or historical themes. Among such pieces is Las Doncellas de
Siniancas which, judging by the style, must belong to a more
recent period, and El Basiardo Miidarra, which was signed in
1 612. On the other hand, the comic character appears in Los
Chaves de Fillalba(x.he MS. of which is dated 1599), and again
in El Arenal de Sevilla (which is assigned to 1601). For the
circumstances attending the production of Dios ha~e. Reyes, and
for the question of the figitra del doiiaxre in general, see the

El gallardo Jacimin. This is probably meant for El gallardo

that it maybe the same play cited in the Peregrino of 1618 (P- )
with the title El gallardo Jacobin. The old conjecture of Schack
(III, 90) has always better pleased me, that, in El gallardo
Jacobin the subject treated is entirely different from that of the
chivalrous Abencerraje Jacimin ; that it treats of the young
Jacobin Giacomo Clement, who assassinated Henry III on July

of Lope's El Cerco de Toledo (p. xxxii). On the other hand Res-

Honrado (El) con su Sangre. — According to Nicolas Antonio
this play was in Parte XXIV, Madrid, 1640. A 5//^//^ of this
title in the Osuna library bore Claramonte's name. It is likely
to be a re-cast — perhaps of Lope's play.

that, under the title oi Los Horacios, is cited in the first list (P.)

La Barrera says that this comedia likewise appeared in Parte
XXVIl (extravagante, Barcelona, 1633, under the name of Lope;
but, as Chorley points out, this Parte does not now exist. (Catd-
logo, p. 682). It survives only in fragments, and El Infanzon de
Illescas is not among the fragments which have been saved. At
the end of a copy of Parte XVII (1621) that belonged to Tieck
(now in the Berlin Library) El Infan:^on de Illescas is substituted
as the twelfth play in place of El Hidalgo Abencerraje. It was
also printed in Comedias de Calderon, Parte V, Barcelona, A. de
la Caballeria, 1677, where it occupies the fifth place (La Barrera.
Cat., p. 52). This is one of the Partes falsely ascribed to Calde-
ron, which he himself rejected. A MS. copy of this play, ascrib-
ed to Gabriel Tellez (?) is given in the Cat. B. N. No. 1593,
with a license dated Zaragoza, December 30, 1626. This is the
190 HUGO A. RENNERT
version published in Academy IX. It is interesting to note that
tliis copy was made for Juan Acazio Bernal y Bergara, a well-
known alitor de comcdias . According to Restori, the play is earlier
than 1 61 8, since it contains a flattering allusion to the Duke of
Lerma, whose fall occureJ in that year. See the important article
of Prof. Restori, who gives all the variants of the volume of Bar-
celona, 1677, in Zeilschrift XXIX, p. 105, ft'.; 'd. also: Comc-
dias de Tirso de Molina, ed. Hartzenbusch (Bib. de Aiit. Espaho-
les), p. 716, and Academy. IX, p. cxlii. There is likewise
a suelta containing many variant readings in the Munich
Librarv : v. Stiefel, Ztft. XXXI, 476 where it is attributed to
Calderon. Concerning the MS. of 1626 in the Bib. Nacional,
mentioned above, my friend, the late Sr. Menendez y Pclayo
(whose kindness to me I can never forget) wrote to me years
ago : « No es exacto, a pesar de lo que dice el indice impreso,
que el manuscrito de El Infan:{on de Illescas, que, procedente de
la Biblioteca de Osuna. paro a la Nacional, atribuya la comedia
a Gabriel Tellez (siendo de advertir, por otra parte, que jamas
el Maestro Tirso uso su nombre verdadero en las comedias pro-
fiinas). En ese manuscrito, formado por la union de otros dos,
la pieza esta atribuida a Andres de Claramonte. Con nombre de
Tirso, no se conoce manuscrito alguno de dicha comedia, mas
que un moderno que Hartzenbusch dice que vio ». Lope's play
is closely followed by Moreto, in his El valieiilc Jiisticiero {El

Sebastian de Carvajal : « anos ha que escriui este suceso)). Yet,
despite the early period of composition and the fact that the
author calls the piece a iraaedia, a figiira del doiiayre is introduc-
ed. Restori says : « It is certain, however, that Lope retouched
the play on printing it, otherwise it would be innpossible to
understand the allusion to La Gloria deNiquea, which was writ-
ten in April, 1622, and represented on May 15 of the same year. »

figura del galan por la blandura, talle y aseo de su persona, nadie
ha ygualado ». (Madrid, 1621, fol. 26 r.) As the play was first

Solano belonged in 1595, tiie play was probably written not

Jueces (Los) de Castilla. — P.-; M. : Acad. VII. The original

« A play is found under the name of Moreto in ihe Priniera Parte
of this Comedias (1654 and 16^]), bearing the same title as
Lope's : Los Jueces de Castilla; it is also printed in the Verdadera
Tercera Parte of the same author (1676 and 1707), afterwards in
siieltas and finally in Moreto's Comedias {Bib. de Autores Espa-
fioles) I believe firmly that Moreto's Jueces de Castilla is only
a re-cast of Lope's play, and that it may be substituted approxi-
mately for Lope's lost play. » (Acad. VII, clxxvii.) All the
Partes o( Moreto's Comedias that I have seen, and all those that
I possess, except the Tercera Parte of Madrid, 1681, are spurious
and lack Aprobaciones and Licencias. I find the above play in Ter-
cera Parte of 1703. V, Salva, Catdlogo, I, No. 1327; Ztft. XXVI,

considered the play of this title that has been preserved to be an
authentic play by Moreto : as « legitima suya » ; while Chorley
is not convinced and inclines to the belief that it may be merely
a re-cast of Lope's piece.

omits this piece from the long list of Moreto's productions

also occurs as a siielta, with the title El Nacimienlo del Alba,
which is, so far as concerns Acts I and II, simply an abbrevia-
tion and mutilation of the present piece. Act III of the stielia, is
entirely different, has nothing to do with the preceding Acts,
and Chorley thought it good enough to pass as Lope's work,
were it not so unlikely that he should re-cast an old play foi
insertion in Parte XVII. Restori has pointed out (Z///. XXII.

Mayor (La) Desgracia de Carlos V. — [Fajardo notes the

1632 and 1633. MS. copy, (Parma). With regard to this
play there is some confusion. La Barrera {Cat. p. 687) regards
it as Lope's, and states that it is ascribed to Jimenez de Encisoin
Dij. XLIII, Valencia, 1660. The existence of this volume is uncer-
tain, and we know of it only through a casual mention by Fa-
jardo. No such piece as La mayor Desgracia de Carlos V. appears
in the true Dif. XLIII, Zaragoza, 1650, (La Barrera, p. 686 ;
there is a copy in the Ticknor Library), nor does Jimenez de
Enciso seem to have written a play with this title. La Barrera
has evidently reproduced the entry in Fajardo, who mistook
La mayor Desgracia dc Carlos V. for La mayor Haiahade Carlos V.
The latter is by Jimenez de Enciso, and is correctly attributed to
him in Dif. XXXIII Valencia, 1642 ; in Comedias de los mcjores y
mas insignes Ingenios de Espaha, Lisboa, 1652 (Barrera, p. 708),
and in z suelta (Brit. Mus.; J. R. C. and H. A. R.). Luis V61ez
de Guevara, is the author of a comedia entitled La Jornada de
Argcl, y mayor Desgracia dc Carlos V. This exists in a suelta, but
it differs altogether from the play with which we arc concerned
here. The ascription to Lope is maintained by Menendez y Pe-
layo who reprints the piece in Acad. XII. v. Restori, Ztft.
XXXI, 489. On the event which forms the subject ot La mayor
Desgracia, Lope writes as follows in Act I of Los Cautivos dc
Argel (Part XXV) :
Cercole Carlos, v t'uc

Concerning the date of this play, Mcnendez says that it is

y divinasy Riinas morales, Bruselas, 1624. The author says that it
is a continuation of this piece of Lope's. It may be remarked in
passing that La Barrera (Caldlogo, p. 282) gives La mas dichosa
Vengan^a as an alternative title to La Vengau~a de la Duquesa de
Amalfi: But they are, in fact, two distinct works by Muxet de
Solis. There is a MS. La Mas dichosa Vengania in the Bib. Nac.
Cat. No. 2040, in which it is ascribed to Antonio de Solis, but
in Escog. XXV, it is rightly attributed to Muxet de Solis. Lope's

in the Osuna collection which bore this title and the name of
Claramonte, to whom La Barrera attributes the present play.
But, as Chorley notes, so many of Claramonte's pieces are mere
re-casts, that the fact of his name appearing on a siielta is far
from deciding tht: question of authorship. See Cat. B. N.
No. 2091, which is doubtless the Osuna MS. mentioned by
Schack.

formed part of a volume, pp. 317-342. Schaetfer (I, 147) desig-
nates this play as a « Vorstudie » to Si no vieran las Mngeres,

Under the title of El Premio en la misina Pma the play is
attributed to Moreto in Escog. XXX ; wrongly, as Fernandez-
Guerra holds. With some variation towards the close, and
with the title El Dichoso en Zarago::a, it is reprinted in Escog.

No. 2162, in which it is attributed to Tirso de Molina. Accord-
ing to tlie concluding lines, the full title is : El Milagro par
los Cclos, y exalente Portaguesa. Primera Parte. On tlie same
theme (the story of Dona Beatriz de Silva) Tirso de Molina
also wrote a comedia, entitled : Favoreccr a todosy aniar a nin-
guno, which, in the opinion of Menendez y Pelayo, is a better
written play than Lope's, but neither, he adds, redounds to the
glory of their authors, v. Cotarelo, Comedias de Tirso de Molina,
II, p. xviii. El Milagro por los Celos was in possession of the
autor de comedias Andres de la Vega in November, 1632. Perez

scripts in the Bib. Nac. Nos. 2 161 and 2162 are of Lope's

Milagros (Los) del Desprecio. — Escog. X ; H. IL, 235; S.

the title Diablos son Mugcrcs. Fajardo asserts that the play was
issued in Part XXVII, extrdvagante, Barcelona, 1633; the play
Diablos son M//o-gf« ascribed to Montalvan, is Lope's Milagros
del Desprecio, not even the names of the characters, only the

whether this be Lope's play or not, I do not know. The date ot
composition of Lope's play may be inferred approximately from
the statement in the closing verses that the author had already

Bato (Acts II and III). Chorley ranks the play as one of Lope's
masterpieces. If this play be EJ 'Nacimiento noted in P, it must
be older than 1603 ; in fact, Menendez y Pelayo says, it
appears to be one of the oldest of Lope's compositions, v.
Ztft. XXII, 122. There is, however, anotlier comcdia by Lope

Prof. Restori says, is entirely different from El Negro del
mejor Amo by Mira de Mescua, and also from the Santo Negro
Rosandmco of Lope ; both these latter have for a subject the con-
version of the negro Rosambuco by San Etnito of Palein.o.
The Parma play also differs from the Negro mas prodigioso ol
Diamante, and « from all the other Negros in the catalogues. »

There are two MSS. of this comedia, both copies, in the Bib.
Nac. (see Cat. No. 2391). The Osuna MS. contains only the
first two Acts, and is dated 1627 ; the other MS. reads at the
end: « Saquela en 12 de Abril de 1629 anos en casa de Barto-
lome Romero y por su mandado, » and bears a license dated
Valencia, October 15,1629. In the Osuna MS. the play is ascribed
to Velez de Guevara ; in the other MS. to Guevara and Medrano
in a modern handwriting. According to La Barrera's manuscript
catalogue, the Osuna MS. contained Act I of this play in the
handwriting of Luis Velez de Guevara, and with his signature
214 HUGO A. RENNERT
appended. The only ancient edition of this play known, an exces-
sively rare siieJta, ascribes the play to Lope de Vega.

different from Lope's, v. Ztft . XXX, 228.
Nuestra Senora de la Peiia de Francia. — H. ; Tomo 132
(Osuna). According to Fajardo this is a fragment of the volume
by Lope and others, printed at Sevilla. It has been suggested that
this play is by Tirso de Molina, but La Barrera identifies it
{Catcihgo, p. 683)with EI Casaiiiienio en la Muerte, y Hrchosdi Ber-
nardo del Carpio, and Chorley is disposed to concur. There is, in
fact, no doubt as to the identity of these two plays. Tirso de Moli-

Nuevo (El) Pitagoras. — Schack, II, 340 : apparently other-

in the previous edition of this catalogue, I had marked it very
doubtful. Prof. Stiefel has, however, found it : v. « Lopede Vega

where the author proves conclusively that this play is not Lope's
at all, but that it was probably written by Duperron de Castera.

Almella, an antor de comedias possessed a MS. copy of this play in

haps it is the same as Los Cautivos de Argel or Los Esclavos de Argel.

Alarcon's famous comedia, Los Pechos privilegiados, in which he
retorts upon Lope : v. Life of Lope, pp. 331-333- There is no
other resemblance between the two plays, which are entirely
distinct. The only allusion to the auxiliary title Nunca mucho
costo poco that I find in Alarcon's play is at the end of Act I. Sc.
216 HUGO A. RENNERT
4. But the plav in XXII, Zaragoza, 1630, and in the two Osuna
manuscripts is undoubtedly Lope's. Surely he, and no other,
wrote these verses of Belisa's song (Act II) :
M Van V vienen las olas, madre,
a las orillas del mar ,
mis males con las que vienen,
mis biencs con las que van. »
A play entitled Nunca miicho cuesla poco (sic), probably Lope's
coDiedia, was represented at court by the company of Andres de
la Vega on October 28,1625. See Mod. Lang. Rev. Ill, p. 48.
Fernandez-Guerra, Alarcoii, p. 376, says that the play represent-
ed on that date was Alarcon"s Los Pechos prmkgiados. He does
not give his source for this statement : probably it is Villaamil's
list in the Avcrignador, I. If so, I think he is mistaken.

attributed to Mescua. It has been further asserted by La Barrera
that this play was included in Parte XXVIII (exiravaganie), Zara-
goza, 1639. Fajardo, however, does not quote it as appearing in
Parte XXVIII, extravamnte. He ascribes the coniedia to Lope and
2l8 HUGO A. RENNERT
his entry continues : « En su Parte XXIV antigua. Fx. » This is
meant to convey that Fajardo himself had a copy of the book
in his collection, and the volume would appear to be the vanished
Parte XXIV, Madrid, 1640, mentioned by Nicolas Antonio. Fajar-
do repeats the title, followed by Mira de Mescua's name, as occur-
ring in « Parte XXVIII Varios », — meaning Escog. XXVIII —
where, in fact, it is found. In a volume of siieUas in the Munich
Library described by Stiefel, Ztft. XV, 218, EJ Pnlacio confiiso is
ascribed to Mescua ; besides, a MS. coiuedia with the same title,
which was in possession of Juan Jeronimo Almella in Valencia, in
1628, is also attributed to Mescua. H. Merimee, Bull. Hisp. VIII.
378. I have read £/ Palacio confuso, and its 'style is certainly very
much like Lope's but the style of no dramatist of this period,
perhaps, so much resembles Lope's as does the style of Mescua,
which makes the question of authorship difhcult to determine.
El Palacio confuso was first represented by \'alleio. After the
above was written I noticed that Schaeffer, I. 320, says that the
first Act oi El palacio confuso may be Lope's, but that the remain-
ing two Acts, and perhaps the whole play is rather Mescua's
than Lope's. Huerta thought there were two coiiiedias bearing
the title El palacio confuso, one by Mescua, the other by Lope.

Schaeffer (I, 95) doubts Lope's authorship of this play, as does
also Menendez y Pelayo, in the corrupt and mangled text in
which it has reached us. The latter thinks that Caiiizares may have

this genuine version are contained in Canizares's ccnicdia '■

toma, sol, aquel lugar.
It will be seen that this must be a different play iVom the one
published in Lope's Parte VII, although Sr. Paz y Melia says
that the MS. of the Bib. Nac. is an autograph, with censiiras of
1607 and 161 1 . According to Restori, there is asuella at Parma
which adheres more closely to the edition of 1 6 17 than to the
autograph, but is not identical [with the text of 161 7]. It is
notable, he adds, that the printed texts (the sueita and the ed.
of 1617) represent an older text than the autograph. All the
passages cancelled in the autograph are in the printed texts.
Where Lope has corrected the text, the printed versions have the
first reading, not the corrected one. See Ztft. XXVI, 508, where
many variants are given.
j— Principe (El) Don Carlos. — Salvd (Catdlogo,\, 639) possessed
a snelta of this play, ascribed to Lope. Concerning it he says :
« This edition appears to be prior to 1620, and in it the state-
ment is made that the play was represented by Olmedo. There
is an exact reimpression of it in Escog. XXVIII (1667) and there
it is wrongly attributed to Montalvan, confusing it, doubtless,
as La Barrera has also done, with El segundo Seneca dc Espaha y
Principe D. Carlos of the said author. I also possess an impres-
sion of Valencia, 1773, with the name of D, Diego Jimenez
Enciso ; but with variations, additions and suppressions of such
a character that it may be said to have been rewritten by the
said Enciso. According to a note I have of Duran's, this rejun-
dicion is found in Parte XXVIII, de las de afuera, Huesca, 1634 ».
It is true that La Barrera {Cat. p. 684) attributes the piece in
Esco^. XXVIII, to Montalvan, but in the copy of his Catalogue
which came into the possession of the Bib. Nac. after his death,
we find that La Barrera had struck out this ascription to Mon-
talvan. v. Bacon, « The Comedias of Montalvan », in Romanic
Review, I, 20. Mesonero Romanos also ascribes a play El Principe
D. Carlos to Lope.
Concerning the statement of Salvd, above, the following may
228 HUGO A. RENXERT
be observed : i) The impression of Valencia, 1773, is the ver-
sion of Caiiizares, and agrees with the atitograph MS. of Caiiizares
in the Bib. Nac. Cat. No. 2727. 2) In Parte XXVIII, Difercntes,
(Huesca, 1634, of which there is a copy in the Ticknor Library)
the phiy is attributed to D. Diego Ximenez de Anciso {sic), and
it is stated that it was represented by Ohnedo : but in nowise
can it be said that this version (of which there is a MS. (copy)
in the Bib. Nac. Cat. No. 2728) is identical with that of the
siielta of Valencia, 1773, for although the work of Canizares i^ a
re-cast of the comedia of Enciso, the deuonciiiciit is quite diiferent
and it ends with the death of the prince.
The version of Dif. (Huesca, 1634), oi Escog. XXVIII, and
the siit'lla of Salva, all have the same text, with only slight
variations, and all are the work of Enciso, for no one has denied
his authorship. The version of the suella of Valencia, 1773, is
that of Caiiizares. From this it follows that down to the present
day no coincdia entitled El Principe don Carlos has come to light
which differs from the two versions mentioned above, and hence
the comedia of Lope as apocryphal, v. Crawford, Mod. Lang.
Notes, (1907), 239, who says that the te.xt of 1667 follows that
of 1634 quite closely.
A Principe (El) Escanderbeg. — Fajardo names Lope as the
author, and states that the comedia appeared " en su Parte XXVIII,
cxtravagante. This is apparently the only ground for attributing
the play to Lope. The authorship of this piece is doubtful, and
the ascriptions in print are more than usually confusing. Thus
in Dif. XXVIII, Huesca, 1634, it bears the name of Luis Velez
de Guevara ; in a suelta it bears the name of Belmonte. It also
appears in Escog. XLVIII, under the expanded m\eoi El gran Jorge
Castriolo y Principe Escanderbeck. Here it is ascribed to Velez de
Guevara in the text, and to Belmonte in the Tabic, v. Schaeffer,
II, 318.

*Principe(El)inocente. — P; P^ h has been conjectured that

preclude such a supposition.

by Paz y Melia (Cat. Nos. 2733, 2734) : Parte I : copy, which
belonged to D. Luis Ramirez de Arellano. License at Zaragoza,
November 28, 161 6, and signature of Lope de Vega, dated
November 23,1614. the latter was probably imitated by Phi-
lipe Conte de Montoya, whose handwriting is on the title of
Act. III. There is also an Osuna MS. of the xvii century.
Parte II . Osuna MS. on the last leaf, after the licenses, are
these lines, which differ from the printed play (which, at the
end, promises a Third Part) :
Y aqui l.> comedia acabe
de como sera un bucn'rey.
The signature of Lope is also imitated. The MS. is of the xvii
century, each Act being in a different hand. There is a license of
1621, and one dated at Jaen on October 14 of the same year,
in which permission is given to Alonso Riquelme, autor de conie-
dias, to represent this play, entitled : Conio ha de ser un bnen Key

Catalogue, Chorley says : « Is does not seem absolutely certain that
this is the piece which is cited with the title Sania Teodora. It
is true that there is a Teodora in the play and that it is predicted
of her that she will be reputed as a saint, but she does not become
a saint in the play, and it is to be observed that not she is the
Prodigio de Etiopia, but a negro, whose audacity and extraordi-
nary deeds are the principal subject of the play. To me it seems
at least possible that Medel cited under this title the comedia of
Claramonte, Pusosemeel Sol, saliome la Luna, Santa Teodora, which
is found under Lope's name in Dif. XXIX. and which exists
as suelta , attributed to him , the subject of which is the life of

this play seems to be rather by one of Lope's disciples, than
by the master, but that it in nowise reads like a play of

wifusa, in the Osuua library; that this MS. is signed by Cal-
Jeron, but that he suspected the genuineness of the signature.
He further says : « In the above-mentioned hbrary there is an old,
v^ery rare print of this comedia, in which it is ascribed to Lope
de Vega, but that this ascription is certainly erroneous, for the
piece is by no means written in Lope's style, as the verses at the
very beginning show. » The verses, however, which Schack
quotes, are from the MS., not from the print in the Osuna library.
Schack does not say that he read the old, rare print in the
Osuna Library, but speaking of the MS., he says : « There
is an old impression of this comedia in the Osuna library »,
etc., not : « there is an old impression of a play entitled La
Selva conjusn ». If Schack's statement is accurate, then all
discussion is at an end, for the Selva coiijusa of the MS. is
lertainly by Calderon, and hence the play in the Osuna
Library (Tomo 133) is also by Calderon. But Schack is not
infallible (as his ascription to Lope of that farrago of nonsense
El nuevo Pitagoras shoves) 2iwdi\\Q may simply have recalled the
same title that he had read in the Osuna volume. Schack
thought, in fact, that this MS. of La; Selva Coiijusa might be
Calderon's Certamen de Amor y Celos. La Barrera believes that
this is a mistake, on the ground that the above play appeared in
Parte XXVII, extravagante, Barcelona, 1633, while Calderon's
drama Certamen, etc. was not written till 1640. I shall not here
repeat Chorley's doubts conterning the existence of these
Paries extravaganles, for they are given on a previous page,
where these Partes are discussed. Their existence is immaterial
in the present issue. The simple fact is that there is a Selva cou-
fiisa ascribed to Lope, in a fragment ot a volume in the Osuna
hbrary. If this play is the same as the play in the Osuna MS.
{Cat. B. N. No. 3071), then it is Calderon's. Only an exam-
ination of the play in the Osuna volume 133, can decide the
matter, and though I have inquired for the volume repeatedly,
I have never been able to see it. It has been used by Menendez

y Pelayo in preparing the Academy's edition of Lope de Vega :
I am assured that it is not in the BibUoteca Nacional now. The
only inference to be drawn is that the Osuna volumes are per-
haps in Santandcr, and that they have passed into the possession
of the city with the other books of Sr. Menende/ y Pelayo. The
question of the authorship of La Selva Cmfiisa is very clearly
and ably discussed by G. T. Northup in his edition of Calderon's
Selva confusa {Revue Hispaniqiie, XXI), who believes that a
Selva confusa by Lope never existed .

regarded as the prelude to La desdichada Estefania ; it deals with

The MS. is only a fragment, but its variant readings arc import-
ant. Speaking of Moreto's Como se vengan los Nobles, D. Luis
Fernandez-Guerra says: Lope de Vega had previously treated
the same historical theme in El Testimonio vengado with that
beauty and simplicity of style which distinguish him, but with
great confusion of the plot. Comedias de Moreto (Bib. de Aut.
Esp.), p. XXXI. Menendez y Pelayo says : « Moreto recast Lope's

A few jests are assigned to Zulema and to the villano Alfonso,

of Prince Muley Xeque took place in 1593, says Casiano Pellicer,
who adds that in 1602 the Prince frequented the Madrid theatres.
Was it with the object of seeing the representation of his con-
version ? He died, as Pinelo informs us, while serving with the
Spanish army in Flanders. This is probably the same play as La
Perdida del Rey don Sebastian represented before the Queen in
October, 1622, by Cristobal de Avendano. v. also Zlft. XXXI,

this play appeared in Part XXVI, extravaganle, Zaragoza, 16-15.
Chorley possessed the play (leaves z-j being missing) in what
may have been a fragment of this Part. Restori thinks this play
may be by Mescua. He says there is an allusion to this play in
Lope's auto Del Pany del Palo {Obras, II, p. lix) which indicates
the probable date of its composition. Concerning the vol. XXVI,
extravaf^anle, 1645 (and 1632 or 1633), he refers to what Ortiz
de Villena (in the preface to Parte XXI of Lope, 1635), says of
the plays of Lope printed in Seville, Valencia, Zaragoza and other
cities, — that they are by various poets, and although they bear
his name, that they are not his, Restori prints the Entreiiics del
Doctor Carlino, in which La Ventura dela Fea is attributed to Mira
de Mescua, which ascription he thinks should be taken into
serious consideration, v. Pie:{as de Titulos de Comedias, Messina,

Coiiiedias de varies Autores, Tortosa, 1638, there is a comedia
La hienaventurada Madre Santa Teresa de Jesus, which is attribut-
ed to Luis Velez de Guevara. Chorley assumed this latter to
be a different play from La Vida y Muerte de Santa Teresa de
Jesus, and he was doubtless correct. In ZtJt. XXII, 283, Restori
gives excerpts trom the Parma MS., saying that the play begins
with a dialogue between La Vanidad and La Envidia, though he
gives no words of the dialogue, nor does he here give the closing
lines of the comedia, though he does give them in Una Colle-
:^ione, etc., p. 35, where we read :

denies this authorship and places the comedia in the list of
(' Comedias supuestas que andan debaxo de su nombre ». Valen-
tin Schmidt, Calderon, p. 483, says there is a play Yo ine entiendo
by Lope, and believes Lope to be the author of the only play

Paje (El) de Don Alvaro. — This play, ascribed by Medel to
Juan Velez de Guevara and printed "as Calderon's (it is not by
him, according to the Qiiinta Parle of Calderon's Comedias), is
assigned by Schaeffer (Vol. I, p. 188) to Lope de Vega. See
Salva, I, p. 617. Barrera {Cat. 467) is certainly mistaken in
thinking that this is the same play as El Lucero de Castilla y Lima
de Aragoii, which is by Luis Velez de Guevara. In the latter play
two of the principal characters are the Duque de Arjona (El
Luzero de Castilla), and Don Alvaro de Luna (La Luna de Ara-
gon); the latter first appears as the Pajc of the King Don Juan
II. (Printed |in Comedias Escogidas de diferentes Libros, Brusselas,
1704.) It is an excellent play and probablv the same as EI Duque
de Arjona, a play copied in Orche (Guadalajara) in 161 3. v.
Bull. Hisp. (1907), p. 378. The MS. in the Bib. Nac. Cat. No.
2741 : El Privado perseguido is the same as the one in the volume
of Brusselas, 1704. From the concluding lines it may be inferred
that the comedia was in two parts. Perhaps the other part is El
Paje de Don Alvaro.

says : If the Fiielta deEgipto be the same as El Retorno de Egiplo,
then it is one of those pieces which Lope gave to Jeronimo
Velazquez, antor de comedias, during the time they were on
friendly terms, and it may likewise be conjectured that it was
written shortly before its representation in Madrid in 1584. Res-
tori, Ztft. XXII, 107, calls attention to an aulo in MS. at
Parma, entitled Buelta de Ejipto, which he had previously
noted in Stiidj. fasc. 15, (1891), p. 126, No. 723. He thinks
this is an older «///o than Lope's, and may have served as Lope's
model, and he has published it in Degli (.<■ Autos ^t diLopede Vega

believes that this older auto is also Lope's.

It seems appropriate to add a tew words concerning the dis-
tinguished scholar upon whose work the foregoing lists are
based. The materials of the appended note are derived from the
two volumes entitled Henry Fothergill Chorley : Autobiography,
Memoir and Letters. Compiled by Henry G. Hewlett (London,
1873). It is much to be regretted that Henry Chorley, the
well-known musical and literary critic of The Athenceum, has
left but a fragmentary account of his elder brother's career.
John Ruttcr Chorley came of a Qiiaker stock settled in Lan-
cashire. He was born at Blackley Hurst, near Billinge, about the
year 1807. His brother thus describes him as a child : « He
had the precocious fancy of a born poet. As has been the case
with other gifted children he could amuse himsell by inventing
creatures as little mortal as the glums and the goories, finding
them with aiventures that went on from month to month, fit-
ting them up with vocabularies of their own, \\-riting their his-
tories in neatly-kept books, and gracing the same with pictures ».
He grew up a merry, high-spirited lad, of a singular physical
strength, which enabled him to hold his own against men during
a long day's mowing. He was fond of dancing, riding, boating,
given to pranks of all kinds, escaping punishment by climbing
to dangerous heights, and refusing to come down till he had
made his own terms. In 181 9 his family moved to Liverpool,
and he was sent to the school of the Royal Institution, opened
a short time earlier under the headmastership of the Rev. John
Boughly Monk, a sound classical scholar. Chorley outstripped
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LOPE DH VEGA 277
his seniors, and was soon at tiie head of the school. His remark-
able memory made learning easy to him. For some boyish
piece of mischief, he was sentenced to learn by heart as much as
possible of the ^Eneid by next morning — he then repeated the
entire First Book without hesitation, and was about to recite
the Second when cut short by his harassed and delighted mas-
ter. Some of his comrades, smarting under their inferiority,
took a mean revenge by jeering at his shabby clothes, his
poverty, his unfashionable Quaker creed ; but, on the whole,
his school-days v/ere not unhappy. It was important that he
should earn his bread as soon as possible, and, having learned
all the Greek and Latin that Monk could teach him, the youth
was placed in a Liverpool merchant's office. Uncongenial as the
position was to him, Chorley discharged his duties with charac-
teristic diligence. « He was no more fitted », says his brother,
« for taking down the particulars of ship's cargoes, or transcrib-
ing the details ot^the day's cotton-market ten times over than
I was ; but he could not bear to do anything short of his best ».
In his spare time Chorley cultivated his musical gifts, and became
an excellent performer on several instruments : he improved his
French (in which he had had some lessons), taught himself
German, Italian and Spanish, and studied the literature of each
language.
He had toiled in obscurity for some years when the Grand
junction Railway was completed between Liverpool and Birmin-
gham. The new company needed a secretary who would create a
system, and call the entire railway service into existence. The
company's solicitor bethought him of a young man whom he
had met by chance in the course of business at Liverpool, and
whose exceptional ability had greatly impressed him. He recom-
mended this untried clerk to the Directors, and Chorley obtain-
ed the appointment. Chorley entered upon his task with an
almost ferocious energy. Henry Chorley writes : « If he did not
spare himself, he did not spare others. Feeling his own respons-
278 HUGO A, RENNERT
ibility, he was rightly alive to that of the subordinate persons
who had to work out the undertaking. He would take no
excuse for any man's absence from duty. 1 believe that of the
staff whom he had to organize and to control about a quarter
was left at the end of the first three months. This may sound
harsh, but is was right... In one respect I hold him to have been
admirable as the servant of a company of capitalists. He would
not use his knowledge and prescience to advance his own for-
tunes. I have heard him again and again say that his business
was to keep his mind clear and ready for the duties of the hour
as undertaken by him ». It is not unnatural that Chorley's stern-
ness held men aloof from him : henceforward throughout life
he remained absolutely lacking in the art of conciliation. « He
was respected and trusted », says his brother, « but he was not
popular, partly from a' certain reserve and haughtiness of man-
ner, in which a consciousness of his own superiority to those
who surrounded him expressed itself. It was too evident that he
was doing faithful and indefatigable service against the grain. »
After years of arduous labour, not over-Uberally recognized,
Chorley inherited from his maternal uncle, Dr. Rutter of Liver-
pool, a modest fortune which made him independent, and en-
abled him to settle in London with his mother and sister. His
wide knowledge of continental literatures was speedily utilized
by the editor of The Athcnasuni, in which journal he wrote fre-
quently between 1846 and 1854. One of the books which came
before him for judgment was a volume entitled Six Dramas of
Calderon rendered into English by Edward Fitz Gerald, famous
subsequently as the translator of Omar Khayyam. Chorley was
by no means an uncritical admirer of Calderon after the fashion
ol that day, but he respected the Spanish dramatist sufficiently
to resent Fitz Gerald's free-and-easy methods, and according-
ly dismissed the new version in a brief note (The Athenxuvi,
1853) which the victim called « a determined spit at me » (Let-
ter to George Crabbe, September 12, 1853). ^'•^'^ Gerald smarted
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LOPE DE VEGA 279
under the rod, withdrew the unhicky volume from circuhition,
and never again attached his name to anything that he published.
Two very brilHant articles on the Spanish drama by Chorley,
contributed to The Atbeinviim {November 19 and November 26,
1853), attracted great attention from Spanish scholars, and were
warmly praised even by thoroughgoing Calderonians, such as
Archbishop Trench. These articles were followed six vears later
by a more detailed and no less admirable essay on the Spanish
drama, which will be found in the hfty-ninth and sixtieth
volumes o{Fra::^ers Maga:{iue. In sympathy with the subject, in
illuminative criticism, in minute knowledge of the facts, this
later study has never been surpassed. It is a grave misfortune
that Chorley never executed his project of publishing an extens-
ive treatise on the Spanish theatre : it is safe to say that he
would have anticipated most of the work tardily accomplished
during the last forty years. I have already spoken {Life of Lope
de Vega, pp. 417-418) of his bibliography of Lope de Vega's
Comedias, issued in the fifty-second volume (1861) of Rivade-
neyra's Biblioteca de Autores Espaholes, and of the revised version
which forms the basis of the present bibliography. In 1865
Chorley published A Wife's Litany, a rhymed drama, followed
by occasional poems, some of them on Spanish themes. Discou-
raged by the cold reception of this volume by critics and the
public, he destroyed his manuscript poems. This completes the
tale of his literary achievement.
Friends who recalled the astonishing promise of his early
years, and who remembered that he was still a young man
when released from distasteful drudgery by his uncle's legacy,
were inclined to think that Chorley left behind him nothing that
represented his real powers. Those who are entitled to an opin-
ion on the matter are unanimous in their appreciation of his
immense industry and the uniformly high quality of his work.
In many respects circumstances were against him. The burden
of responsibility had crushed his youthful gaiety, and nature, so
2 So HUGO A. RENNERT
lavish to him in other respects, denied to him the supreme gift
of attracting friendship. « My brother, » writes Henry Chorley,
« was singularly handsome, witli such a sweet, refined, express-
ive countenance and a perfect figure as are rarely found in com-
bination. » This advantage did not avail him with his contem-
poraries. Henry Chorley was no doubt right in saying that the
change of fortune came too late. Solitude had left its indelible
mark on Chorley, and to the last he remained a shy, dogmatic,
melancholy recluse. « He was averse to society save on the very
peculiar and exclusive terms which suited him. Though he
could discourse on most topics, .with a precision of knowledge,
and, generally, a justice of view rarely surpassed or equalled —
though he had a keen sense ot wit and humour, and a rich store
of anecdote and allusion to fall back on — his conversation want-
ed flow and lightness, and in truth was apt to be oppressive...
Save when he was alone among his books, with one of the very
few friends he made, he harangued rather than conversed. »
Yet, despite his austere reserve, Chorley was a man of deeply
sensitive aff"ections. His solicitude for his invalid sister was noble
in its perfection. During the twelve years that she lingered, suff-
ering from a most painful form of spinal disease, his devotion
to her was absolute. « His life », observes his brother, « was
laid out to be a series of sacrifices, met by him with a sense of
duty which was too severe, too unselfish. A more complete case
of self-eff'acement has rarely come to my knowledge... Save in
long and solitary walks, early in the morning, for many years
he rarely crossed the threshold; haunted by an almost morbid
fear of mischance which might happen in his absence. He bore
up nobly till the long dreary story closed ; but the spring of life
was worn out, and nothing remained to him but the company of
his books, in the silence of a solitary house, entered with so
much hope and prospect of years of rest and enjoyment. » He
buried himself more and more in his library. Apart from liter-
ature, his one consolation was his violincello. « The pleasure he
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LOPE DE VEGA 28 1
had in books, and in the intimate knowledge of books brought
one reward — his power seconded by liis will, to sympathize
with and aid the men of letters whom he respected. » These
were few- — Ticknor, Gayangos, Carlyle — and the two former
Hved out of England. He had a deep and wide acquaintance
with French and German literature, but by degrees the charm of
Spanish grew upon him, and ended by absorbing him. He knew
Spanish Hterature as it has rarely been known, and he knew the
Spanish drama best of all. In this province it is impossible to
over-estimate his know'ledge. Chorley is the veiy type of the
indefatigable, scrupulous student who does great things in a
sphere of which the world knows nothing. He has never receiv-
ed recognition in the measure that he deserves : nor did he
stoop to seek it. To him knowledge was its own exceeding
great reward, and his lofty aims led him to scorn men of softer
fibre. His attitude to his more wordly-minded brother is thus
recorded : « Till within a very few years of his death, I w^as
somewhat misjudged by him as one who had chosen my life
for purposes of mere amusement... I never had a word or sign
from him to testify that anything I have published gave him
pleasure... We met rarely, but we met — under every conceivable
disparity of culture, and of social habits — with mutual respect.
His was nobly shown to me; mine is humbly returned to him,
by telling the whole truth, over the grave of a man hardly tried,
misunderstood, and undervalued in his lifetime. »
Chorley was already failing in health when he published A
Wife s Litany, and in 1866 the decline became more marked. He
died of atrophy on June 29, 1867, bequeathing his collection of
rare Spanish plays to the British Museum. Their number may be
imagined from the fact that their titles fill nearly seven columns
of the printed catalogue of the British Museum Library. Their
intrinsic value is greatly increased by manuscript annotations
embodying biographical and bibliographical details, as well as
textual emendations of corrupt passages. Chorley frequently dis-
282 HUGO A. RENNERT
plays extraordinar}' cleverness in restoring imperfect copies, and
in imitating printed characters on leaves of seventeenth-centur}^
paper, which he acquired at great expense and trouble. Some of
his « made-up » title-pages are admirable examples of what skill
can do to remedy defects.
The verdict of Cartyle on Chorlcy may stand : « He could
have written like few men on many subjects, but he had proudly
pitched his idea very high. I know no man in these flimsy days,
nor shall ever again know one, so well read, so widely and accu-
rately informed, and so completely at home, not only in all fields
of worthy literature, but in matters practical, technical, novel,
mechanical ». This is the impression which Chorley made upon
a contemporary of genius, acquainted with the foremost men ot
the day, and constitutionally indisposed to lenient judgment.
Still, it is by his work upon the Spanish drama that posterity
remembers Chorley. And surely it would have pleased him, into
whose strenuous, sunless life pleasure came but seldom, to know
that the scholars of a later generation associate his name insepa-
rably with that of the illustrious poet for whose renown he
laboured so much, so well, and so enduringly.

dant, la methode et la mise en oeuvre nous paraissent trahir encore une cer-
taine inexperience et nous voudrions, sans rien dissimuler des merites de
I'oeuvre de notre jeune confrere, attirer son attention sur un certain nombre
de details, parfois assez importants.
La bibliographic du sujet sembic, au premier abord, considerable. La listc
des principaux ouvrages consultes remplit huit pages. C'est beaucoup, mais il
ne suffit pas de lire beaucoup de livres, il faut encore et surtout en savoir dis-
tinguer la valeur, les classer par ordre de merite et donner au lecteur tous les
renseignements qui lui permettront de savoir ou en etait la question avant le
nouveau volume et ce que I'auteur a ajoute a ce que Ton savait avant lui. Une
bibliographic ainsi etablie est longue et difficile a preparer, mais elle renseigne
presque aussitot sur la maturitc de I'auteur et la valeur scientifique de son tra-
vail. M. P. n'a pas apporte tout a fait assez de soin a I'etablissement rrctho-
dique de sa bibliographie. L'ordre alphabetique dans lequel il a range tous les
auteurs consultes par lui n'est pas un ordre logique ; il ne permct pas de dis-
linguer les sources vraies des ouvrages sans valeur mis la pour faire nombre :
ad pompam et ostcutationem. 11 eut fallu ranger les sources par si^cle, ou don-
ner une bibliographie particuliereen tetede chaquechapitre. Parmi les ouvrages
cites, il en est un grand nombre qui, d'apres I'avis de M. P. lui-meme, ne pre-
sentent aucun interet. Pourquoi citer dans un ouvragc d'erudition, Andre
(Marius), Le Bienheiireux R. Lulle, panegyrique, ouvragc de vulgarisation sans
references ni notes? Les livres de Custurer, de Roldan, de iManoel de Cena-
culo n'ont guere plus de v deur et n'auraient du etre cites que pour mtJmoire.

aimons peu ce livre dc propagande regioiialiste, oule but politique poursuivi par
Fauieur nuit ccrtainemcnt ^ Fimpartialitc dc I'historien. Les cent pages qu'il
consacre au bienhcureux Raymond Lulie (p. 234-330) constituent un resume
systcmatique de sa vie et de ses oeuvres, avec beaucoup de considerations etran-
geres au sujet ; ce chapitre ne s'appuie sur aucun ouvrage posterieur au
xviiie si^cle, est concu dans un esprit beaucoup plus tendancieux que critique
et ne saurait etre considere comme une source vraiment serieuse.
Les ouvrages cites par M. P. ne sont pas toujours precises avec une exacti-
tude suffisante. On ne doit jamais faire figurer dans une bibliographic erudite
des mentions comme celles-ci : Saint Augustin, Qzuvres couipVdes, multiples
editions ; BoUandistes, Acta Sanctorum ; saint Bonaventure, Opera omnia. II
faut s'efforcer de citer tres exactement les noms des auteurs, ne pas appeler
M. Bonilla y San Martin, Bonillas, comme a la page xvi, ni Bonillos comme a
la page 215. II eut iallu dire que son etude sur D. Fernando de Cordoba a paru
a Madrid en 191 1. Puisque Ton mentionnait, et avec raison, son Historia de
la Filosofia espaiiola, 11 fallait dire que deux volumes seulement en ont paru, a
Madrid, en 1908 et 191 1, a la librairie gen^rale de Victoriano Suarez. On
aurait trouv^ au tome II de cet ouvrage d'importants renseignements sur la vie
et les idees d'Aben-Gabirol, I'un des principaux philosophes juifs du xi^siecle.
Dans le Vives du mcme auteur (Madrid, 1903, in-40), on aurait rencontre plus
d'une remarque sur la pedagogie lullienne et un modele acheve de bibliographie
mcthodique.
Sur la tres iniportante question de raverroi'sme, M. P. aurait pu consulter
I'excellent chapitre de M. Ch. V. Langlois sur la Litteraliirc savante en latin au
xiiK siecle. (E. Lavisse, Histoire de France, t. Ill, 2^ partie. Paris, Hachette,
1901, pp. 388-404.) II y aurait trouve un resume tres substautiel de toute la
querelle et de precieux renseignements bibliographiques.
Terminons cette critique priliminaire, lorcement un peu maussade, par
quelques remarques de detail. On aimerait a savoir a quelle date a paru a Bar-
celone \ii Sisteina cientifico Inliano dc Mossen Salvador Bovc '. Les Heterodoxos
espanoles de Menendez y Pelayo ont etc publics a Madrid, en 1 880-8 1 , en 3 vol.

M. P. pouvait supposer conniie !a vie dc Raymond Lulle, ou conimcncer
par situer son pcrsonnage dans Ihistoire pour mieux lairc comprendrc cnsuite
lY'volution de son esprit. C'est a ce second parti qu'il s'cst arrctc et il a eu
parfaitcment raison, mais si nous ne nous trompons pas, cetlc partie biogra-
phique sera jugee comme la plus faible dc tout I'ouvrage ; cUe donnerait au
lecteur qui se bornerait a la lire une idee assez defavorable, et nous nous batons
d'ajouter tres fausse, de la m^tbode de M. P.
Et d'abord, pourquoi raconter deux Ibis la vie de Lulle, une premiere fois
en abrege dans I'lntroduction, une seconde fois dans le chapitreier? Mieux eut
valu la raconter une bonne fois, avec toute la rigueur et toute la prudence que
Ton doit apporter a ces sortes de recherches.
Or les faits connus de la vie de Lulle sont tres pcu nombreux. On sait qu"il
naquit en 1255, vecut d'abord dans le siecle, se maria, mena la vie pen edi-
fiante que menaient la plupart des jeunes nobles de son temps — et de tons les
temps — se convertit a I'asc^tisme vers 1266, abandonna completement le
souci de tons ses interets terrestres vers 1275 et mena des lors la vie d'une
sorte de chevalier errant de la Foi, discutant avec les h(5terodoxes et les infi-
deles, reclamant la reforme des abus, ecrivant des ouvrages de philosophic, de
morale et de dialectique, ne perdant aucune occasion de gagner des ames a sa
doctrine. II mourut vers 13 15, sans que Ton puisse preciser dans quel pays ni
dans quelles circonstances. Sa vie de tertiaire de saint Francois offre, en
somme, beaucoup d'analogie avec celle de saint Ignace pendant les premieres
annees qui suivirent sa conversion.
Ces renseignements sont un peu maigres, quoiqu'ils suffisent au demeurant,
a nous faire connaitre la physionomie generale de notre personnage. M. P. a
voulu penetrer plus avant dans I'iniimitc de son heros et s'est servi dans ce
but d'un des ouvrages les plus interessants de Lulle, le Blaiiquerna. II suppose,
peut-etre avec raison, peut-etre aussi a tort, que Blanquerna n'est autre que
Lulle lui-meme et que le roman moral de Lulle n'est qu'une maniere d'auto-
biographie. Que Lulle ait souvent pens(^ a ses propres aventures en ecrivant son
livre, cela est infiniment probable et presque certain, mais Blanquerna n'en
reste pas moins un etre fictif, dont nous ne pouvons plus determiner exacte-
ment les ressemblances avec Lulle. Blanquerna, par exemple, devient pretre,
eveque et pape. Lulle n'a jamais cte que le doctor barbatus. Blanquerna, c'est
Lulle idealise, c'est peut-etre le personnage que Lulle aurait voulu etre, ce n'est
pas ce qu'il a etc. Si nous avions sur sa vie d'autres renseignements fournis
par des sources etrangeres, nous pourrions controler les details fournis par
Blanquerna ; en I'etat actuel ce contr61e parait impossible et il est beaucoup
plus prudent de laisser cet ouvrage completement de c5te.
288 COMPTES RENDUS
M. P. suit de trop pres Blanquerna et ne montre pas toujours un esprit cri-
ticjue assez cveillc. II nous parle des « scandales » de la jeunesse de LuUe, ce
qui ivest probablement qu'une exagcration de penitent ; mais il n'a pas un mot
de blame pour cet homme qui, sans autre motif que de pieuses visions, aban-
donne sa femme, son enfant et neglige a tel point leurs interets que sa femme
est obligee de le faire interdire pour couserver la fortune de son fils.
L'histoire de la conversion est plutot tlevine'c que racontee d'apres des
methodes scientifiques ; ce n'est pas, d'apres M. Boutroux ou d'apres William
James, qu'il fallait nous en parler, mais d'apres Lulle lui-meme, et la il etait
possible de faire usage du Blanquerna, car s'il n'est pas certain que tout ce qui
est arrive a Blanquerna soit arrive a Lulle, on est beaucoup plus fonde a croire
que les idees prctces par Lulle a Blanquerna sont les idces do Lulle lui-mcme.
II est tres remarquable a cet egard que Lulle en racontant ses visions miracu-
leuses ne semble pas lui-meme leur preter une valeur objective ; il a cru voir
mais il admet qu'il a pu etre le jouet d'une illusion ; il y a la un exemple tr^s
interessant de self-conlrol, d'autant plus notable que Lulle se croit tr^s reelle-
ment inspire de Dieu ; sa mystique est done incomplete, n'cmporte pas aban-
don de tout esprit critique, s'arrcte sur le seuil de I'extase. C'est un etat d'esprit
vraiment tres particulier, M. P. aurait dii pousser son etude sur ce point un peu
plus qu'il ne I'a fait.
M. P. considere Lulle comme c un peu fauatique », mais le fanatismc est
une maladie qui affecte la mentalite tout entiere, il n'y a pour ainsi dire pas de
degres dans Ic fanatisme ; on ne peut pas etre « un peu fanatique » on Test
tout entier. Le fanatisme, c'est I'exaltation dangereuse, mais magnifique, qui
nait de la passion. Tons ceux qui aiment vraiment sont fanatiques. L'amour,
Tart, la patrie, la religion ont leurs fanatiques, et c'est par eux, par eux seule-
ment, qu'ils ont cte magnifies aux yeux des hommes et mis au rang des dieux.
Lulle a ete un fanatique, mais je le crois bien ! II n'a et6, il n'a voulu etre
que cela ! Saisi par ce qui lui est apparu comme la vt^rite religieuse, embrase
de l'amour divin, subjugue par la folie de la Croix, il est devenu une sorte
de troubadour religieux et mystique, une sorte de chevalier du Christ, allant
partout faire confesser a tout venant la beaute et la preeminence de son Evau-
gile. Ce n'est pas au domaine de la philosophie ou de l'histoire qu'il appar-
tient reellement, mais au domaine de la poisie, c'est un veritable Don Qui-
chotte de la Foi ; ct c'est aussi un heros du Roman de la Rose, escorte de
i\>uvrcic, Douceur d'ame, Don des Larmes, Affliction, Misericorde, Pureti^
de coeur, Paix et Persecution. II va prechant a tous la bonne doctrine, moque
par les uns, calomnit^ par les autres, n'en ayant cure, parce qu'il vit si haut
que les rires des hommes ne peiivent plus I'atteindrc. M. P. a bien compris
que Lulle est surtout remarquable comme apotre et comme homme d'action,
mais I'expression traliit queiquefois sa pen see et nous avouons n'avoir pas
COMPTES RENDUS 289
compris la phrase suivante: « En qualitd dc fou par amour de Dicu, Ray-
« mond propose dcs paraboles symboliques au pape ct aux cardinaiix ct il se
« trouve que ces sortes d'eveques (?) a la maniere des Orientaux domicnt dcs
leqons utiles aux grands » (p. 50). On saisit ici le grand dcfaut du livre dc
M. P., il a ete prepare et ccrit trop a la hate. Dans ses travaux futurs. M. P.
fera bien de moins se presser.
Le chapitre 11 est consacre a I'obscurc question du Svnibolismc dc Lulle.
M. P. ne semble pas y attacher une trcs grande importance, il expose aussi
clairement que possible cette sorte d'algcbre logique, de mecanique scienti-
fique, en laquelle on pourrait voir un projet de « machine a raisonner «, ana-
logue a la « machine a calculer " de Pascal, C'est une idee scolastique, un
artifice d'exposition auxquels il n'y a pas lieu de s'arreter. On trouve chez
Lulle des idees plus interessantes, un essai de classement des sciences qu'il
appelle I'arbre de science, I'emploi de I'allegorie pour rendre les sciences
vivantes et agreables, en d^pit de leur gravite, I'emploi du dialogue avec les
entites alors a la mode : Pouvoir, Sagesse, Volonte. Dans la Declatnalio Rai-
mundi, Lulle dialogue avec Socrate qui repr^sente les AverroTstes latins et les
philosophes naturalistes du xiiie sieclc centre le doctor harbatits repr^scntant la
tradition catholique.
Les m^thodes de Lulle forment I'objet du chapitre 111. Elles n'ont rien de
bien nouveau. Lulle part des ph^nomenes sensibles pour s'elever de degre en
degre a I'idee de Dieu ; mais une fois en possession de cette idee supreme, il
cherche a ramener toutes les connaissances humaines a un petit nombrc de
principes et a reduire ces principes eux-memes a I'unite methodologique.
L'effort est sans doute trop grand pour son esprit ; il ne parvient a son but
qu'au moyen de « tourniquets » ^tranges, que Ton n'a jamais ose manoeuvrer
« de peur de donner une preuve de I'absurdite du systeme » (p. 65). M. Bov^,
I'un des Lullistes les plus convaiucus d'Espagne, considerc les « tourniquets »
comme une invention surannee et inutile. jM. P., bien entendu, ne sc hasardc
pas a aller plus loin, et nous le lui reprocherons, car si le systeme est rcclle-
ment absurde, il faut avoir Ic courage de Ic dire : « amicus Lullius, magis
arnica Veritas ».
Lulle est, en somme, un scolastique (chapitre iv), c'est un augustinicn, un
anselmien, un franciscain, mais tres oppose aux thomistes.
En m^taphysique, il enseigne que le createur est nettement distinct de la
creature ; le monde n'est pas eternel, mais en realite nouveau, Dieu I'a crcc
par bont^, pour donner a I'homme une occasion de I'aimer et de I'honorer. Ce
sent la des conceptions vraiment trfes faibles dont M. P. aurait pu, ne fut-cc
qu'en passant, faire remarquer la puerilite.
Sur la question de I'etre, Lulle ^tablit une distinction ingcnieuse entre la
matiere, identifiee par lui avec la puissance et la Ibrme identifiee avec Facte.
290 COMPTES RENDUS
La puissance de LuUe, c'est « ce qui peut etre quelque chose », c'est le futur
possible « le bonifiable et le magnifiable ». La forme, c'est le principe actif (nous
dirions la force) qui transforme le simple possible en fait, en acte. C'est la
vieille thtorie de la substance et de la forme, un peu rajeunie et presentee
d'une maniere plus saisissante.
Lulle nous semblc moins bien inspire dans sa theorie de I'individuation, il
n'en discerne pas nettement la cause et reste tres verbal et tres nuageux.
En psvchologie il reconnait cinq puissances de Tame : la vegetative, la
sensitive, I'imaginative, la rationnelle et la motrice. Il identifie I'ame avec
ses facultes et se prononce nettement en faveur du libre arbitre. L'honmie
peut, d'apres lui, se decider librement entre le bien et le nial, et il lui
semble que ce libre arbitre justifie pleinement les sanctions qui I'attendent :
« S'il fait le bien, il merite la gloire, s'il fait le mal, il m^rite la peine. »
II en serait bien ainsi si Ton n'attribuait pas a Dieu la prescience infail-
lible de I'avenir, mais si Dieu est prescient, il restera toujours cette terrible
objection : pourquoi tire-t-il du neant des etres dent il connait par avance
la perdition certaine ? M. P. a tort de croire que Lulle a su concilier la
volonte libre avec la predestination ; il n'v est pas mieux parvenu qu'aucun
de ccux qui se sont occupes de ce probleme, aussi insoluble que la qua-
drature du cercle. On ne peut le resoudre qu'en sacrifiant Tun des deux
termes a I'autre, soit le libre arbitre de I'homme a la prescience divine, soit la
prescience divine a la liberty humaine. Dans une lettre ecrite a Charles le
Chauve en 850, Servat Loup, abbe de Ferrieres, exposait ainsi la theorie
augustinienne : « Dieu prend en pitie ceux qu'il releve par sa grace, et il
endurcit ceux qu'il n'attendrit pas par cette meme grace, mais quoique la rai-
son nous en soit cachee, c'est par un juste jugemeni qu'il les abandonne. Ceux
qu'il prend en piti6 sont predestines a la gloire, d'apres cette parole de
I'apotre : quos procscivit et prsedestinavit, et on les appelle vases d'election. lis
doivent au Seigneur tout ce qu'ils sont et tout cc qu'ils ont ; c'est sa bonte
qui leur a donne I'etre, alors qu'ils n'etaient pas ; c'est sa bonte qui les sauve,
alors qu'ils etaient perdus. Quant a ceux qu'il endurcit, ou plutot qu'il n'atten-
drit pas, et qui sont laiss^s dans la perdition, perdition qu'ils ont meritie par
le peche originel et par le pecht^ actuel, on les appelle vases d'opprobre, faits
et parfaits pour la perdition, lis ont ete tires du neant, et c'est un don de
Dieu, ils sont punis, et c'est leur faute. » Jamais plus bel effort n'a ete tente
pour resoudre reffra\-ante enigme ; le textc du moine du ix= siecle est bien
autrement serre et logique que celui de Lulle, et le probleme n'est pas resolu,
Lulle fait de I'ame une emanation divine, theorie peu orthodoxe, croyons-
nous, mais apres tout tris s^duisante. Elle resterait apres la mort substance
spirituelle et M. P. a raison de faire remarquer les rapports qui existent entre
cette theorie luUienne et les idees theosophiques, mais il ne nous dit pas si
COMPTES KENDUS 29 1
cette substance ou puissance spirituelle est susceptible d'etre modifiie par une
force quelconque. Les ortliodoxcs diJclarent qu'aprcs la mort Ics Ames nc
peuvent plus ni m^riter ni dcmcriter ; I'elu ne peut plus se perdrc, le danine
ne pcut plusse sauvcr. Lulle s'est-il conformti a rorthodoxie en cc point } II
semble bien que non... II eut etc curieux de le constater.
Comnie logicicn, Lulle ne pouvait ctre que realiste, ct il Ta etc avec pas-
sion, les universaux existent pour lui en dehors de I'dme, ils constituent les
substances generates sous lesquelles subsistent les choses particulicres.
Lulle ascete et mystique (chapitre v) s'inspire de saint Francois et de saint
Bonaventure, il veut que I'ascete quitte le monde, mene la vie humble et
pauvre, pense sans cesse a Dieu, confesse ses pechi^s, s'exerce a la contrition
et satisfasse a la justice divine. Son Livre de la Contemplation est une formi-
dable encyclopedie en 5 volumes de 350 a 400 pages chacun, ouvrage verbeux
et fumeux, mais tres vivant par place ct qui se rccommande par un extraordi-
naire bouillonnement d'idees. Poetc, il a trouvc des prieres splendides, dout
M. P. aurait pu citer quelques exemplcs. II s'est cru parvenu a I'illumination
directe et a la science infuse, mais n'a point vu dans cet etat, comme les doc-
teurs musulmans, une recompense necessaire de ses dpreuves et de ses tra-
vaux, il y a vu un don gratuit dc la grace divine : sa mystique a etc pour lui
un principe d'action.
Le chapitre consacre a Lulle theologien (chapitre vi) parait reveler chez
M. P. des preoccupations confessionnelles, sans doutc tres respectables, mais
etrangeres au debat. La question de savoir si le Bienheureux Lulle a ete ou non
heretique ne nous regarde pas, ce qui nous int^resse c'est le caractere general
de sa theologie, c'est la part qu'il y fait a la raison. II a evidemment cru pos-
sible de demontrer logiquement les.verites dc la foi, mais commc cette tache
est inexecutable puisqu'il s'agit d'idees ind^montrabies par les precedes du rai-
sonnement humain, il a cchoue dans sa tentative. Ses efforts pour expliquer
le mystere de la Trinit^ nc pouvaient aboutir qu'a des mots : « Toi, Essence,
« tu es sans oisivete, faite de Bontc, d'infinitc, d'Eternite, d'Essenciant, d'es-
« sencier, d'essencie. »
L'ime humaine est un terme nt^cessaire cntre les substances corporelles et
les substances angeliques. Cette necessite semble limitcr la liberte divine ;
saint Augustin et saint Bonaventure I'admettaieut, ct Lulle I'admet avec eux,
argument d'autorite sans valeur par lui-mcmc, mais qui conduit a dire que
Dieu parfait trouve en lui-meme sa propre necessit<J, ce qui est en definitive
le supreme hommage que Ton puisse rendre a la raison. Dans toutc ccttc
partie, M. P. semble avoir pris le P. Pasqual pour guide principal, on aime-
rait mieux le voir intervenir plus personnellement dans la discussion.
Le principe de la necessite du monde une fois pose, Lulle I'applique a la
destinee de I'homme ; il ne nous dit pas pourquoi il etait necessaire que
292 COMPTES RENDUS
rhommc se r^bellat centre Dieu, mais une fois la rebellion survenue, la
redemption, on recreation, lui apparait aussi necessaire que la creation pre-
miere. Dieu ne pouvait sans abandonncr son plan — necessairement parfait —
laisser I'liomme dcscendre du poste eleve qu'il lui avait donne au milieu des
creatures, il fallait qu'il restat comme un terme moyen entre rhomme et
range, et seul Dieu pouvait sauver I'homme. II etait egalcment necessaire
que le redempteur fut coniju du Saint-Esprit, naquit d'une Vierge, mourut,
descendit aux enters et ressuscitat. Toutes ces consequences s'enchainent
necessairement les uncs aux autres.
Lulle croit a I'immaculee conception de la Vierge : « Notre Dame Sainte
Marie est benie entre toutes les femmes, selou sa conception et sa naissance,
en tant qu'elle iut sans peche originel. » Nous sommes la en plein mysti-
cismc, mais pour Lulle, I'immaculee Conception n'est pas moins necessaire
que la virginite de Marie.
Lulle a combattu avec acharnement i'averroisme qui avait passe dans les
Universiies chretiennes, mais pour bien connaitre le contre-averroisme de
Lulle (chapitre vii) il serait necessaire d'avoir une connaissance approfondie
des doctrines du savant arabe et il y aurait en cette seule question la matiere
de toute une these. Ibn-Rochd (Averroes) est, en somme, tres pen et tres mal
connu. M. Bonilla v San Martin, qui en a commence I'etude, le declare tres
obscur et tres difficile a penetrer. Renan I'a devinc plus qu'il ne I'a entendu.
On ne sait pas au juste jusqu'a quel point il etait rationaliste.
Pour M. P., Aristote enseigne une doctrine contraire a la foi : pas de crea-
tion, pas de createur, ni de premier homme, pas de dieu anthropomorphe, ni
de Providence, pas de survivance des ames apres la mort. Ibn-Rochd a expli-
que purement et simplement la doctrine d'Aristote et ses commentateurs Chre-
tiens semblent avoir exagere a plaisir les dissonances entre I'aristotclisme et la
theologie orthodoxe. Saint Thomas d'Aquin a cherche, au contraire, a conci-
licr Aristote et I'orihodoxie, il revere le philosophe mais ne lui abandonne
aucun point de la foi. Aux yeux des orthodoxes purs, il est encore suspect
d'averroisme . Lulle appartient a ce dernier parti ct meno rude guerre contre
les averroistes ; il s'attache surtout a d^montrer que le monde n'est pas ^ternel,
mais a ete cre^ et qu'il est nouveau. II dedie a Philippe le Bel lui-meme son
De lanientatione duodecitu principioruiit pbilosophiae contra Averroistas ; cependant
la faction aristot^licienne est si puissante qu'il ne parvient pas au Concile de
Vienne a obtenir la condamnation radicale de I'Averroismc.
Cette grande querellc, dans laquelle se depensa, de part et d'autre, une
somme prodigieuse d'energie et d'ingeniosite, M. P. ne semble pas en avoir
aper(;u toute Timportance ni soupconner que I'histoire n'en pcut encore etre
mdme esquissee. Un mouvement pareil ne s'explique pas seulement par des
querelles d'ecole ; s"il a passionne a ce point les esprits, c'est que des intiirets
COMPTES RENDUS 293
dc premier ordre s'y trouvaient mclcs, et au fond dc la qucrcllc, il faut voir
I'etcrnel problcme dc la liberie de pens^e. La licvrc dc savoir qu'Arisloie fait
passer dans I'ame de scs disciples est pour saint Augustin I'une des formes les
plus pernicieuses de la concupiscence. Aristote voit dans la science le but
supreme, Augustin propose aux efforts de I'liomme Taction morale soustoutes
ses formes. Lequel des deux a raison ?
LuUe a ete un des hommes les plus instruits de son temps. Lulle n'a cepen-
dant pas ete un savant (chapitre viii) dans toute la rigueur du terme, mais
surtout un vulgarisateur ; il n'a, en somme, rien invente et a partage bon
nombre de prejuges de son epoque. S'il n'a pas ete alchimiste, comme on Ta
pretendu, il a connu un assez grand nombre de substances et a vulgarise la
preparation de I'acide nitrique. II a cru a I'astrologie. II attachait une impor-
tance capitale a la theoric des elements. II attribuait a la geometrie une grande
valeur pour la formation et I'education de I'esprit. Ce qu'il a pcut-etre de
plus remarquable, c'est la tournure scientifique et pratique de son imagination ;
il connaissait la boussole et a essaye de donner une tlieorie scientifique de la
navigation, il a cherche a se rendre comptedes causes des marees, il a vu dans
la lune une planete assez semblable a la terre, avec des mers et des continents.
M. P. le felicite d'avoir cru que la terre est ronde (p. 157), il vent dire sphe-
rique, car ceux-la meme qui croyaient la terre plate, lui donnaient la forme
d'un disque. M. P. croit que Lulle a soupconne I'existence de I'Amerique ;
c'est faire bien de I'honneur a sa divination. Seneque ecrivait des le premier
siecle : « II viendra un siecle dans les temps eloignes ou I'Ocean relachera
les liens des choses, oil la terre se manifcstcra dans toute sa grandeur et oil
Thule nesera plus la plus lointainedes iles. » On nepeut pas dire que S^n^que
ait pressenti I'existence du Nouveau Monde avant Colomb.
Pedagogue ct moraliste (chapitre ix) Lulle compte parmi les plus interes-
sants du mo3'en age; on peut noter avec eloge la part importante qu'il fait a
la langue vulgaire dans I'education, les connaissances medicales et juridiques
qu'il veut donner a ses disciples. II est consequent avec ses principesen prefe-
rant I'etudc de la theologie a celle des sciences qui distraient la pensee et
I'eloignent de Dieu. M. P. voit une influence musulmane dans I'idee lullienne
que Dieu « a cree le monde pour sa gloire ». Mais n'y avait-il pas longtemp.s
deja que les Chretiens chantaient : « Les cieux racontent la gloire de Dieu » ?
Cette idee est tout aussi chretienne que musulmane, parce qu'elle est juive,
parce qu'elle est conforme a I'idec que se fait la Bible de la majeste de
lahveh.
Lulle sociologue (chapitre x) serait sans doute bien etonne de voir accoUc
a son nom un vocable aussi moderne et aussi revolutionnaire. II n'a eu qu'a
Jeter les yeux autour de lui pour voir combien pen etait chretienne la societe
ecclesiastique et feodale du xili^ siecle. II n'a pas ete le seul a en signaler les
294 COMPTES RENDUS
abus ; il y a eu des reformateurs bien autrcmcnt vchements et liardis qu'il no
I'a ete, depuis Jehan Clopinel, continuateur dii Roman dc la Rose, jusqu'a
I'epicicr de Troves, auteur dc Rcnart le Contrefait.
Lullc cnscigne Icur devoir aux clercs et aux princes. II croit an droit divin
des rois, niais le prince, considere comnie individu, est un homme comme un
autre (p. 199). Les chevaliers ont bien a faire pour vivre conlbrmement ii
I'ideal de la chevalerie. Les pelerins font cvuvre pieuse en allant aux peleri-
nages mais il ne faut pas que ces voyages dcviennent un pretexte a rejouis-
sances et a divertissements. Lullc mcdit volonticrs des juges et des avocats,
qui ne furcnt jamais populaires en aucun pays ; il medit des medccins et sur-
tout des marchands ; il n'aime ni les jongleurs, ni les bergers, ni les labou-
reurs, ni les artistes et parait avoir eu des idees peu esthetiques. En somme,
ce fut un franciscain, plus mystique que charitable, tres orthodoxe et surtout
fait pour jouer le role de missionnaire et d'apotre populaire. C'est la probable-
ment qu'il fut le plus original ct le plus remarquable.
Suivant la mode du jour, M. P. a voulu recherclier ii quelles sources Lullc
a puise ses idees et souvent meme emprunte la forme qu'il leur a donnee.
C'est une tache ardue, car LuUe ne cite jamais ses sources.
II n'a connu Aristote que par I'intermediaire des commentateurs arabes qui,
sans s'en douter, melangeaient I'aristotelisme d'idees neo-platoniciennes
empruntees a I'ecole d'Alexandrie. Tout le monde au xiiie siecle attribuait a
Aristote la « Th^ologie » qui n'est qu'un echo des « Enneades » de Plotin.
Le neo-platonisme n'a pas ete sans influence sur LuUe, comme on le devinc
dans une des questions les plus obscures de sa metaphysique. II se demande
s'il convient de preter une ame a chacune des spheres celestes, et il obeit assu-
rement aux tendances pantheistes du neo-platonicien, en resolvant la question
par I'affirmative, mais il s'effraie lui-meme de sa hardiesse et ne concede aux
spheres cdestes qu'une ame motrice. II I'attribue d'ailleurs a toutes les spheres
celestes, meme a la sphere exttirieure, qui contient toutes les autres dans sa
concavity ; le ciel-firmament n'est pas pour lui un ciel fixe; il se meut comme
les autres, il est le premier mobile.
M. P. nous semble avoir raison dc pcnser que les juifs ont cu peu d'in-
lluence sur le devcloppcmcnt dc la pensee lullienne ; cependant le philosophe
juif Ibn-Gabirol (Avicebron), recemment tr^s bien etudie par M. Bonilla y San
Martin, 6tait fort connu dans I'Espagne du xiiie siecle et LuUe a bien du lui
faire quelquc emprunt. La Kabbalc lui a peut-etre inspire I'idee de son mcca-
iiismc logique, mais le De atiditu Kahbalisiico nc doit pas lui ctre attribuc.

Lulle connaissait I'arabe et discuta souvent avec les docteurs sarrasins.
M. P. ne voit pas cependant trace d'unc influence arabc notable sur les ide^es
de son heros. Lulle, tres nettement contraire i raverro'isnie et partisan
inflexible de I'orthodoxie chretienne, n'a pu etre attire par Faristoielisme Evi-
dent des Arabes. L'influence de la mystique nuisulmane est beaucoup plus pro-
bable, parce qu'elle etaitplus d'accord avec le temperament particulier de Lulle.
M. P. croit que le souci de I'hygiene, dont le doctor baiimtiis parait anim6,
pourrait avoir la meme origine, mais il faut se rappeler que le xili<: siecle don-
nait aux soins de proprete une importance que le xvi^ et le xvii= ne lui lionne-
ront plus, et que les gens se baignaient alors sans croire manquer a la bien-
seance et a la modestie. La pratique des langues orientaies a donn^ aussi a la
langue de Lulle la saveur un pcu etrange, le parfum exotique qui font un des
charmes de son style; c'est un « mozarabe » pour le style, conime eut dit
M. Dieulafoy.
C'est aux penseurs Chretiens que Lulle a emprunte presque toutes ses theo-
ries. II est volontariste et realiste comme saint Augustin, il admet, commc lui,
la predestination et Tinfluencc souvcraine de la grace, il admet le role de
I'illumination dans le developpement de la connaissance. Au pseudo-Denys, il
prend I'idee de la contemplation en Dieu. Scot Erigene, bien plus hardi
metaphysicien qu'il ne le fut lui-meme, I'entraine dans son courant mys-
tique. Realiste, exemplariste et mystique commc lui, saint Anselme est un de
ses maitres, mais saint Francois et saint Bonaventure ont bien mieux trouve le
chemin de son cceur, car il fut, comme eux, democrate, ennemi du luxe et de
Torgueil, ami des pauvres et des humbles, champion d'un christianisme simple
et doux. II fut aussi un ecrivain charmant. C'est peut-etre comme lettre et
comme missionnaire, bien plus que comme penscur, qu'il meriterait d'etre
etudie. M. P. a voulu appliquer a I'etude de cette etrange et deconcertante
figure les methodes un peu rudes de notre critique contemporaine; il I'a sou-
mise a un veritable lavage a I'acide, et presque rien n'est reste sur la toile ;
mais ce n'est pas a dire qu'il ne devait rien rester, c'est seulemcnt une raison
de croire que d'autres methodes moins rigoureuscs et plus subtiles auraient
conserve a I'original un peu plus de son relief et de sa couleur, de sa transpa-
rence et de sa poesie.

La arquitectura en Mexico. Iglesias. Obra formada bajo la direccion de
Genaro Garcia, por Antonio Cortes. Mexico. Imprenta del museo
nacional de arqueologia, historia v etnologia, 1914, in-f*^, vi-52
pp., 150 fotograbados.
M. Genaro Garcia, directeur du Musee national d'archeologie de Mexico, a
eu I'heureuse idee de celebrer le centenaire de Tindependance mexicaine par
la publication d'ouvrages relatifs a rarchitecturc et au mobilier du pays. Le
present ouvrage, consacrc a I'architecture, etudie quelqucs types d'eglises ; le
second, entierement termine aujourd'hui, continuera I'etude de Tarchitecture
mexicaine pendant la pcriode coloniale ; le troisieme volume, en preparation,
traitera du mobilier.
Pendant le premier siecle de la conquete, Ics nouveaux maiires du pays ne
songerent qu'a leur defense, les batiments qu'ils eleverent alors ne relevent
guere que de I'art militaire. Au xvii^ siecle, les Espagnols vivaient en plus
grande securiie et commencerent a se preoccuper d'esthetique ; ce fut, bien
entendu, I'art espagnol qui leur fournit les modeles et c'est a I'ecole baroque
qu'appartiennent les edifices presentes par M. Antonio Cortes.
L'eglise Saint-Dominique d'Oaxaca datedes premieres annees du xviK siecle
et etait terminee en 1628. M. Antonio Cortes semble admettre que la deco-
ration date de la meme epoque, mais la question meriterait une etude toute
speciale, car le stvle presente tous les caracteres de I'ecole de Borromini, et
en 1628, Borromini n'avait que 29 ans. Le premier edifice construit a Madrid
dans le style lieuri qu'on a appele neo-plateresque est la cbapelle de Saint-
Isidore pres de l'eglise Saint-Andre, et la cbapelle Saint-Isidore fut batie de
1657 a 1663. M. Cortes constate lui-meme de tres grandes ressemblances
entre la decoration de Saint-Dominique d'Oaxaca et celle de la cbapelle du
Rosaire a l'eglise Saint-Dominique de Puebla batie de 1650 a 1690. II nous
semble bien probable que I'ornementation de l'eglise d'Oaxaca fut posterieure
d'un certain nombre d'annecs a sa construction. On ne peut s'empecber non
plus de coustater une tres notable difference de syle entre la voute comparti-
mentee de la nef majeure, qui presente encore un certain gout classique, et
la fantaisie debordante de la voute du cboeur ; celle-ci parait bien ne pas appar-
tenir a la meme ecole que celle-la. On notera surtout les extraordinaires sta-
tues de moines penchees le long des aretes des lunettes, qui donnent a cette
voute un caractere si etrange et si fou. Par ailleurs cette eglise ne manque pas
de charme, elle a la ricbesse et le pimpant d'une paysanne valencienne en
grand habit de fete, paree deses boucles d'oreillcs a pendeloques, desa chaiue,
de son tour de perles et de son collier.
De 1720 a 1750 fut batie, pres de l'eglise Saint-Dominique, la cbapelle du

Rosaire decoree dans un style un pen moins exuberant. On retrouve cepen-
dant SLir la voute un rosier qui rappelle de bien pres la vigne de la voute du
choeur A la grande ^glise : rensemble est de moins bonne main, avec une
sorte de gaucherie rustique assez amusante. M. Cortes voit des reminiscences
byzantines dans le decor de cette chapelle ; s'est-il demande par qnelle voie
I'art byzantin, si profondement ignore des artistes du xviiie siecie, aurait pu
venir a Oajaca? II est vrai que la coupole octogone de la chapelle repose sur
des pendentifs et que Ics peudentifs ont ete de mode a Byzance apres avoir
ete inventes en Perse — mais si I'ltalie les a rectus de Byzance, c'est d'ltalie
que I'Espagne les a importes et cest d'Espagne que cette architecture d'ori-
gine orientaie a passe aux hides. II est infinimeiit probable que I'architecte
de la chapelle du Rosaire n'avait de sa vie vu la nioindre piece d'art bvzantin.
Les cloitres de Saint-Dominique d'Oaxaca meritcnt une mention speciale
pourleur simplicite vraiment monumentale.
La Chapelle du Saint-Christ aUacolula fut terminee avant 1674 et possede,
comme celle du Rosaire, une coupole octogone sur pendentifs. La tribune
du choeur est constituee par un planclier dont les solives sont decorees avec
une richesse qui rappelle a M. Cortes les prodigalites de I'art mud^jar. Ici,
rien ne s'oppose a ce que des dessins venus de Teruel ou de Saragosse soient
tombes sous les yeux de I'artiste mexicain. La chapelle possede un ex-voio du
xviie siecie ; im petit modelede gallon suspendu a sa voute aurait sa place dans
un musee de la marine ; rien de plus curieux que cette architecture navale,
aussi redondante, aussi paradoxale, pour le moins, que I'achitecture de I'eglise
elle-meme. La statue de la Vierge placee sur I'autel du croisiilon gauche est
une fort jolie piece, et la table d'autel, probablement en at gent repousse, fait
honneur a I'habilete des ouvriers mexicains (pi. 38).
La Chapelle du Rosaire, attenante a I'eglise Saint-Dominique de Pucbla,
date, comme les precedentes, du xvii^ siecie (1650- 1690). Hlle est ornee
d'aiiilejos, dont Puebla possedait a cette epoque une importante fabrique et ses
sculptures offrent un interet tout particulier. La composition generaleest excel-
lente, si rexecution peche encore trop souvent par la lourdeur ; le ciboriuni a
double etage qui s'eleve sous la coupoje meme, produit un fort bel effet
(pi. 72). Les cadres des tableaux donnent le dernier mot de la somptuosite et
de la profusion. Les pieces les plus curieuscs sont deux bas-reliefs representant la
nativite de la Vierge et la Presentation au temple, qui nous donnent une idee
precise de Part local a la fin du xviic siecie. iM. Cortes voit dans le premier
de ces bas-reliefs une nativite du Christ, uiais ia mise en sc^ne nous apprend
que nous ne sommes point a Bethleem et qu'il s'agit non de J^sus mais de
Marie; sainte Anne, reconnaissable a sa coifte, est couchee dans un bon lit a
baldaquin et a rideaux ; saint Joachim se prelasse dans un bon fauteuil au che-
vet de I'accouchee ; deux femmes, qui ne sont point sans grace, emmaillotent
I'enfant, tandis qu'une troisieme apporte a la mere uu reconfortant potage.

C'est la sc^ne traditionnelle de la Nativitc de la Vierge, telle qu'on la voit
representee dans tons les tableaux de I'^cole catalane du xve siecle ; le sculp-
teur s'est contente de la transposer en style mexicain. On reconnait le lit a
quenouilles tronquees, le fauteuil de chene ct de cuir du mobilier espagnol du
xviF siede. N'ctaient les anges par trop joufflus qui dansent ou jouent de la
tronipette au-dessus des acteurs humains, cettc page de vie intime ne serait
pas sans charme dans sa naivet^ (pi. 76). La Presentation au temple nous
plait beaucoup moins, les figures sont d'une extreme lourdeur et d'une com-
plete barbarie. Les costumes de saint Joachim, de sainte Anne et de sa sui-
vante nous renseignent peut-etre sur les modes d'alors a Puebla(pl. 77).
L'eglise de Saint-Francois d'Acatepec, pres de Cholula, appartient a un
type tout special et rappelle par I'emploi des briques emaillees et des faiences
peintes le choeur de la Seo de Saragosse. Des souvenirs d'Orient affluent a
I'esprit quand on contemple cette faqade reluisante que le soleil mexicain fait
resplendir comme une armure. L'interieur, decor^ de platres et de mortiers
estampcs ne tient pas les promesses du dehors. Le rococo flamboyant des
voutes et des autels mele les tetes aux rinceaux et semble avoir garde quelque
chose de I'art de I'ancien Mexique. La porte du baptistere (p. 62) rappelle le
fouillis de feuillages et de figures ou excellait I'art azleque. C'est grand dom-
mage que les revolutions aient fait disparaitre tout renseignement sur la date
de construction de cette trescurieuse eglise.
L'eglise paroissiale de Taxco est, au contraire, bien datee et Ton en connait
toutc I'histoire. Elle fut batie de 1748 a 1758 par le Francais La Borde, richis-
sime proprietaire de mines, qui depensa a sa construction 1.66 1.5 72 pesos et
realisa en somme un fort beau modcle d'eglise churrigueresque. Batie en
belle pierre rose, l'eglise de Taxo eleve au-dessus du village minier ses tours
legeres et sa coupole (pi. 84 et 85). A l'interieur, la pierre a ete malhcureu-
sement recouverte d'un hideux badigeon jaspe ; le jour oii on le fera dispa-
raitre, l'eglise recouvrera toute sa beaute. Le cadre general est donne par une
ordonnancc composite traitee dans une note tres speciale. Les acanthes des
cliapiteaux et les rinceaux des frises s'enlevent comme des broderies a jour sur
le fond de la pierre et rappellent tres exactement la sculpture de la facade
orientale a la cathedrale de Tortose. L'eft'et general est riche et leger a la fois
(fig. 91). Le rococo a garde ses magnificences pour les autels, grands airs de
bravoure joues avec une indiscutable maestria. On n'a point menag(§ I'argent,
on s'est adresse aux bons artistes et tout ce que le style pent donner on I'a
obtenu ; les ensembles sont eblouissants et les details prodigieux. La sacristie
fait penser a une bibliotheque, a un salon, a un boudoir ; les tables, les fau-
teuils, les armoires de bois sculpte, les toiles decoratives, les miroirs penchds,
tout dit avec quel soin le constructeur a prevu toutes choses, et a chercht^ a
satisfaire jusqu'a la coquetterie des jeunes clercs, desireux, avant de se rendre
au choeur, de bien poser leurperruque ou leur bonnet carr^ (fig. 97).

L'eglise Saint-Martin appartenant a I'ancien couvent des P^res Jesuites de
Tepotzotlan a ete construite de 1679 a 1680 et restaurec dc 1750 a 1760.
M. Cortes voit en elle un des plus beaux Mifices religieux du Mexiquc et louc
I'execution delicate desretables. La facade, un peu boiteuse, puisqu'elle ne pos-
sede qu'une seule tour, parait bien compost^e sous sa riche decoration ; I'execu-
tion est meilleure que dans la plupart des edifices de cette epoque, Ic contour
est moins mou et plus fini. Une porte lat^rale, d'un dessin tout classique,
montre qu'on savait encore faire simple quand on le voulait, mais on crai-
gnait par-dessus tout de faire pauvre. Les Peres qui avaient renonc^ pour
eux-memes a toute commodite ne se rassasiaient pas de luxe pour leurs egliscs ;
lis enchassaient Dieu et les saints dans For et les pierreries, sans songer que
le Christ et ses saints out toujours preche le mepris des richesses. L'eglise de
Tepotzotlan n'est en realite qu'une grotte d'or, dont la profusion fait penser
aux gopurams des temples hiudous, mais le detail est peut-etre encore plus iin
qu'a Taxco (fig. 112) et la statuaire ellc-meme ne manque pas toujours de
m^rite (fig. 116). Les devants d'autel en bois sculpt^ comptent parmi les meil-
leures pieces du decor mexicain (fig. 118).
MM. Garcia et Cortes ont droit aux remerciements de tons les amis des
arts pour la publication de leur magnifique album. L'art churrigueresque a
ses detracteurs, mais on commence aussi a lui rendre justice. M. Lamperez y
Romea voit en lui, avec raison, une resurrection du plateresque, M. Garcia dit
qu'aucun autre art ne fut plus conforme a I'imagination ardente et debordante
desEspagnols ; on ne peut nier I'extraordinaire impression derichesse et d'etran-
get(§ que produisent les meilleurs edifices decores dans ce gout ; nous nous sen-
tons, pour notre part, plein d'indulgence pour ces outranci^res fantaisies. C'est,
en tout cas, un art qu'on ne reverra plus ; il convcnait a une societe eminem-
ment ploutocratique, vivant dans des cadres tres rigides et immuables; la vie
mystique etait la seule vie libre ; les hommes genereux ct riches depensaient
leur fortune a glorifier ce mysticisme qui faisait leur joie, et ces conditions
sociales et intellectuelles, rien ne permet actuellement de penser qu'elles se
retrouveront jamais. II est done sage d'etudier l'art de cette periode pendant
que subsistent encore presque en leur beaute premiere les monuments qu'il a
elev^s ; ils sont souvent fragiles, et une fois disparus, qui salt quand la fantaisie
dominera de nouveau chez les architectes ?
