The Order of Books: Thoughts on the Library of the Knight Don Quijote de la Mancha

Abstract

The literary text is a real act of communication that connects individual or collective writers to their readers. So, through the order of books, it is possible to establish links between the library of don Quichotte de la Mancha and the library of Cervantès – that the former must partly mirror. It is also true for the output formats, the editions, the publishers, the publishing places, the dates of publication, the authors and certain literary genres such as the novel of chivalry, the pastoral novel, the epic poetry and the poetry of the Cancionero.
