General Notes

Concealed reprint: Lack of long s and use of acute accents rather than grave distinguish this printing from McKnight 125, which also has a slight difference in the title ("maxico"). Appears to be a concealed reprint based on characteristics described in Cruickshank, D.W. "Some problems posed by 'suelta' editions of plays." This printing uses a section mark at the ends of the ornament row above "Jornada primera" on page 1.

Printer's Series Number

N. 81.
