CERVANTES SAAVEDRA, Miguel de (1547-1616)
El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha. Madrid: Joaquin Ibarra, 1780.
‘The finest edition of Don Quixote that has ever been printed’ (Updike). Ibarra’s celebrated edition firmly established Don Quixote in the literary canon while setting new standards of beauty and quality of production. First published in 1605, Don Quixote won immediate fame in Spain and beyond for its ‘variety, liveliness, and gibes at the famous,’ while its universal humanity has assured its status as ‘one of those universal works which are read by all ages at all times’ (PMM). Cohen-de Ricci 218-19; Palau 52024; cf. PMM 111.

4 volumes, quarto (290 x 219mm). 4 engraved titles, engraved portrait of the author, 31 engraved plates hors texte, double-page map partly hand-coloured in outline (some mostly marginal staining, marginal repair in one plate in vol. II). Contemporary Spanish tree calf gilt, red morocco spine labels lettered in gilt, all edges gilt (rebacked preserving backstrips, light wear at extremities).
