larger size ; 28 lines to a full page of smaller type. This is a poem, with a running commentary in prose, and in smaller type, on an imaginary journey of the author to Mount Parnassus, in order to witness the coronation of the Marquis of Santillana as poet and hero, by the Muses and the Virtues. In parts the poem has the appearance of a parody on Dante’s Divina Commedia. Compare Ticknor, History of Spanish literature, vol. 1, p. 346, Boston, 1872 [3090.50=C.R.42.9].
