Abstract

This essay explains the objectives of our project, which is aimed at specialists in classical Spanish theatre, bibliographers, and historians of the book. We intend to create an exhaustive online census of comedias sueltas in American libraries, with rigorous bibliographic records, images of title pages and colophons, and an authority file. These tools are supplemented with essays by recognized experts in the field. Comedias sueltas are notoriously difficult to locate in collections because of the shortcomings with which they have been historically catalogued. Our website aims to remedy this problem.
