Note 337 — SECOND SECTION. History of Spanish Poetry and Eloquence, from the Age of Cervantes and Lope de Vega to the Middle of the Seventeenth Century.
Thomasina Ross translation
From rincon (a corner), and cortar (to shorten or cut). They are merely two humorous names for pick-pockets or purse-cutters. To those who wish to become acquainted with the Novelas Exemplares, I would recommend the edition published at Madrid in 1783, by Antonio Sancha, which as far as I know is the latest.
