FINE COPY OF THIS ATTRACTIVE EDITION. The bilingual Rouen editions of 1633-34 and 1644 brought to an end a remarkably long era of publishing for La Celestina which had begun at Burgos in 1499. The only subsequent editions to appear before the 19th century were in English. Goldsmith C-97; Palau III, 51169.
