Note 64 — INTRODUCTION TO THE GALATEA.

See Scherillo, op. cit., pp. ccliii.-cclx. for an interesting and striking enumeration (which might, as the commentator says, be extended) of Cervantes's debts to Sannazaro. It is quaint and significant to find that while Sannazaro in his Prosa duodecima alludes apologetically, but with excellent reason, to il mio picciolo Sebetho, Cervantes in his sixth book, with no reason of any sort, introduces las frescuras del apacible Sebeto.
