Note 5 — INTRODUCTION TO THE GALATEA.
Herman Oelsner translation
See Martín Fernández de Navarrete's Vida de Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (Madrid, 1819), pp. 65-68. Navarrete, however, points out that the Galatea cannot have appeared early in 1584, as his predecessors had alleged: "No se publicó hasta los últimos meses de aquel año." I do not understand him to say that the book was published at Madrid.
