Тирсо де Молина
His first publication, the incomplete "Cigarrales de Toledo" (licensed in 1621, but not published till 1624), is a miscellany, containing short tales, novellas, verses and three plays. One of the novellas, "Los tres maridos burlados", probably derived from Francesco Cieco da Ferrara's "Mambriano", and the play entitled "El vergonzoso en palacio" reveal his wit and ingenuity. The preface to the "Cigarrales de Toledo" states that Tirso de Molina had already written three hundred plays, and at this period of his career he was second only to Lope de Vega in popularity. (Tirso de Molina was one of Lope's most ardent followers.)
