In a note entitled «A new first: an illustration of Don Quixote as 'Le Capitaine de Carnaval', Leipsig, 1614», I point out that in Johannes Hartau's book, Don Quijote in der Kunst (Berlin, Gebr. Mann verlag, 1987, 14,16-17) there appears a print by Andreas Bretschneider, dated 1613, in which Don Quixote and friends appear as grotesque figures dressed in carnival costumes. The Paris 1618 and London 1620 therefore lose precedence to the newcomer, becoming the «second» and «third» known illustrations of our knight. The present study remains of value, of course, because it clarifies further the status of the Paris and London editions which is causing problems still today. (N. from the A.)

This was taken for granted by some early English
bibliographers. H. E. Watts, for example, in an article entitled
«Translations of
Don Quixote», (Notes and Queries, 8th Series, Nov. 18, 1893, 402)
states:
«To correspond with the second part, published in
1620, a reprint was made of the first, with a few alterations, which reprint,
always wanting a printed title-page, usually passes as the original first
part.»
Watts takes for granted in the year 1893, two decades
before Gordon-Duff's discovery, that the reprint of Part I was issued in 1620.

Givanel Mas's words as they appeared in the
Catáleg of 1916 are:
«Ara bé: aquest dibuix,
¿el copiaren els francesos de l'edició anglesa que descrivim? Al
nostre entendre, sí; i estem completament d'acord amb el pensar d'En J.
Ll. Pellicer, al tractar de l'esmentada portada...»

Letter received from Heather Kelly, dated 21 February, 1990. My own determinations were made after perusing various costume references including James Laver, Costume of the Western World -The Tudors to Louis XIII (London, George Harrap & Co.; Elizabeth Ewing, Everyday Dress 1650-1900 (London, B. T. Batsford Ltd., 1984); Cesare Vecellio, Renaissance Costume Book (New York, Dover Publications, 1977). (N. from the A.)

From the collection of engravings by Leonard Gaultier at the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, Fonds Français 386. This same Gaultier also engraved the title-page to de Rosset's Ariosto, Paris, 1615. My own studies point to Gaultier or to one of his apprentices as the engraver of the Paris 1618 title-page. (N. from the A.)

Madrid's three copies of Part II were inspected personally. Two (Cerv. 651 and Cerv.-Sedó 8676) contained the engraved title-pages while one (Cerv.-Sedó 8674) did not. The engraved titles to Cerv. 651 and Cerv.-Sedó do not contain the ghost image. Cerv. 651 appears to have been purchased from the Quaritch Catalogue No. 342, London, February, 1882, by Pascual Gayangos, and will have been one of the first seen in Spain. The copy mentioned by Givanel Mas in the Catálogo de la Colección Cervantina of the Biblioteca Central de Barcelona (I, 98), from the Bonsoms collection, does not appear to have the engraved title, given usually as the anteportada or frontispicio. Several collections had more than one copy of this edition. Libraries reporting copies with the engraved title were: Pennsylvania State University, Clare College (Cambridge), Lehigh University, Folger Shakespeare Library, Boston Public Library, New York Public Library, Rosenbach Museum and Library, William Andrews Clark Library (UCLA), The British Library, Houghton Library (Harvard University), University of Virginia, The Library of Congress, The Newberry Library, and the Lyland Library of the University of Manchester. Those reporting copies without the engraved title were: Boston Public, Columbia University, The British Library, University of Michigan, Newberry, Yale, and Oxford. I have included in the survey the personal copy mentioned by Knowles. Reports of the ghost image, some unsure, came from Harvard, the University of Virginia, the Library of Congress, and the Newberry. (N. from the A.)
