| Commentary | Reference to the dialogue between don Quixote and the canon about chivalry books; the canon recommends don Quixote to read the deeds of historical knights; "un conde Fernán González, Castilla; un Cid, Valencia; un Gonzalo Fernández, Andalucía; un Diego García de Paredes, Estremadura; un Garci Pérez de Vargas, Jerez; un Garcilaso, Toledo; un don Manuel de León, Sevilla [not represented], cuya leción de sus valerosos hechos puede entretener, enseñar, deleitar y admirar a los más altos ingenios que los leyeren" (49:1). |
