Note 162 — BOOK VI.
Herman Oelsner translation
The Sevillian priest, Domingo de Becerra, as appears from Fernández de Navarrete's Vida de Cervantes Saavedra (Madrid, 1819, pp. 386-387), was a prisoner in Algiers with Cervantes, and was ransomed at the same time as the latter. Becerra was then (1580) forty-five years of age. He translated Giovanni Della Casa's Il Galateo, and published his version at Venice in 1585.
