CERVANTES SAAVEDRA, Miguel de (1547-1616). El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha . Madrid: Joaquin Ibarra, 1780. The best Spanish edition of Cervantes’s “sweeping panorama of Spanish society” (PMM). While Don Quixote won nearly instant fame for its “variety, liveliness, and gibes at the famous” (PMM), it was this edition, illustrated by artists from the Academia de San Fernando and overseen by Cervantes scholar Vincente de los Ríos, which truly solidified the novel as part of the literary canon. Printed in a specially designed type, it is also a monument to the golden age of Spanish typography. Cohen de Ricci 218-219; Palau 52024. See PMM 111. Four volumes, folio (295 x 205mm). 4 engraved titles, 32 engraved plates, double-page map (some light marginal soiling and foxing). Near-contemporary Spanish marbled calf with gilt-stamped border (spines sunned with light wear). Provenance : J. M. Duffield (signature on flyleaves dated June 1832) – J. H. Duffield (signature on flyleaves dated 1855) – Adam Holden (1817-1898, Liverpool bookseller; ticket).
