Description: "A hand-printed edition of 20 riddles published in Lisbon by the Casa do Prazer in 1693. The Casa, a cloistered group of Portuguese nuns who enjoyed secular verse, communicated via writing and exchanges of books and manuscripts. They also hand-copied manuscripts and distributed them. Alatorre proposes that these riddles are likely the last texts Sor Juana wrote; his edition is faithful to the original, without answers or commentary. Highly recommended for scholars and students of Sor Juana's works"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
