Note 474 — SECOND SECTION. History of Spanish Poetry and Eloquence, from the Age of Cervantes and Lope de Vega to the Middle of the Seventeenth Century. (continued 2)

The title is:—Joannis Marianæ Historiæ, de rebus Hispaniæ, libri triginta. It has been frequently printed; and there is one very elegant edition in large folio, Hagae Comitum 1731. The Spanish names of persons and places are, however, latinized in a manner so artificial, as to render them no less unintelligible than the names in Cardinal Bembo’s History.
