Fausto: Dr. Johann Faust, or Faustus, born near Weimar, and said to have died in 1538. A magician, astrologer, and soothsayer. The legends concerning him have furnished material for several plays, notably Goethe's tragedy "Faust." Calderon's play "El Mágico Prodigioso" resembles Goethe's play, though founded upon another legend.
