Note 879 — Chapter XXIX
Reading edition
Jos. Pellicer, in his “Lecciones Solemnes,” (Madrid, 1630, 4to, col. 610-612 and 684), explains his position in relation to Góngora, and his trouble about finding the meaning of some passages in his works; thus justifying what the Prince of Esquilache said, probably in reference to these very commentaries:—
Un docto comentador (El mas presumido digo) Es el mayor enemigo Que tener pudo el autor.
El Príncipe á su Libro.
