EL CABALLER0

This edition of the play is intended to be a reliable edition but is,

under no circumstances, to be considered as a thorough critical edition
complete with variant readings, extensive notes, nor any of the valuable
expository discussion that is usually found in such. Those who would like
to study the play or to comment on it with greater security than can be
claimed for this electronic edition should refer to a modern critical edition
of the work such as that prepared by Maria Grazia Profeti and published
in Madrid by Editorial Alhambra in 1981. Thie edition should be easily
found in any reasonable university library. In it you will also find a
bibliography of early editions and manuscripts available for the play,
cogent discussion of the work as literature, and a suggestive
bibliography of articles about this comedia. A translation and adpatation
of the play by David Johnson (AThe Gentleman from Olmedo@) was
performed in Bath (England) in 1991. That version was ppublished in
Bath by Absolute Classics in 1992..
El caballero de Olmedo has also been the subject of many
studies that have been published since these two editions were
prepared. These items may be identified by reference to the valuable
ABibliography on the Comedia@ published each fall in the Bulletin of the
Comediantes.
Several performances of El caballero de Olmedo have been filmed and
preserved on video and are available on loan from the AHCT. You may
