"The play has come down to us with its authorship in question and its date of composition undetermined. The purpose of this study, therefore, is (1) to present a critical edition of the play ... (2) to discuss the matter of authorship and date of composition, and (3) to show the relationship of the play to the Menaechmi theme as it descended in Spanish literature."--Pref.
El palacio confuso has been ascribed to Antonio Mira de Amescua.
