Abstract

“¡Cuán ciego es aquel que no ve por la tela de cedazo!”, says Don Quixote at the beginning of Second Part. Naturally, lucidity is a principle of reading; but read a work of the First Modern Age is not so easy. In this text (1605), being a “good connoisseur” implies capturing the implicit incoherence between the Merlin of the La Mancha cave and that of the Aragonese mockery. Next to the main plot (chivalrous & Barbary) of the Second Don Quixote, Cervantes printed in filigree a second (and opposite) form of reading (that one of the Dukes) related to witchcraft.
