ResumoThe first of the three main parts of this book is a census by Ana Martínez Pereira and Víctor Infantes of copies of the first edition of Don Quixote. Previous estimates had given numbers from half a dozen to eighteen: the present study establishes the figure of twenty-six copies, of which a dozen are described for the first time. Three libraries (the Spanish Royal Library, the Hispanic Society of America and the Library of Congress) have two copies each. The Bodleian copy was promptly bought in 1605. In the second part Martínez Pereira describes the different states of the first edition. It is axiomatic that, as this is the first time a reliable census has been established, this is also the first time that such a comparison has been done with any degree of exhaustivity. In the third part Fermín de los Reyes Gómez and Silvia González-Sarasa Heráez gather a complete collection of documentation on the press of Pedro de Madrigal senior and junior and Juan de la Cuesta senior and junior at Madrid from its foundation in 1561 to 1613. They offer lives of Cuesta and Madrigal (pp. 296–302). Madrigal started his career in Salamanca at the presses of Cánova and María de Neyla viuda de Terranova and set up his own business using equipment from the press of Domingo de Portonaris. In 1586 he moved to Madrid and died in 1593. In 1595 his widow remarried another printer, Juan Iñiguez de Lequerica (d. 1599). Cuesta, born c. 1579, appears in Madrid in 1599 at the Madrigal press, owned by Pedro Madrigal's widow and son. Pedro Madrigal junior died in 1603 or 1604 and Cuesta married his widow. Cuesta died some time before 1652.
