Note 286 — FIRST SECTION. History of Spanish Poetry and Eloquence, from the Introduction of the Italian Style to the Age of Cervantes and Lope de Vega. (continued 2)

Concerning these collections, see Dieze’s Remarks on Velasquez, p. 316. I am acquainted with only two:—one is entitled, Los Coloquios Pastoriles de muy agraziada y apacible prosa, &c. por el excellente poeta, y gracioso representante Lope de Rueda, sacados a luz por Juan Timoneda; Sevilla 1576, in small octavo, printed in gothic characters. The other is entitled: Las segundas dos Comedias de Rueda, without date, but printed in the same type and form as the first mentioned collection.
