Footnotes

  • A SEEMINGLY UNRECORDED VERSION. The Cartilla was a popular genre in sixteenth century Spain, its double aim being to teach children to read, whilst at the same time instructing them in the principles of the Christian faith. The best known editions are those printed in Valladolid, with the Royal privilege granted from 1583 onwards. Typically, the present version begins with an alphabet, preceded by the Maltese-style cross which symbolizes Christ. Cervantes would certainly have known the Cartillas, although Sancho Panza, even in his capacity as Governor, never got beyond the Cross at the beginning and remained unable to read the alphabet.
