Pasagero, of Suarez de Figueroa
Chapter
Abstract
Here we find four people who start out in summer from Madrid to Barcelona, in order to embark there for Italy. To relieve the tedium of the journey they converse on a great variety of subjects, and one, “el Doctor”, who has traveled and read a great deal, is the most important talker. For the first time in the course of the present study the word capítulo is discarded: the chapter of this work is called alivio, while all kinds of titles were given later to the divisions of these books.

Notes
- 113.For Suarez de Figueroa, see Barrera, p. 379. Prof. H. A. Rennert has added some interesting facts about Figueroa’s life in Italy (see Modern Language Notes, vol. VII, col. 398–410). His works are very difficult to find, especially the Pusilipo, of which only the Salvá copy is known. I find notice of the following: 1602, Guarini’s Pastor Fido, translated in tercetos. (Salvá, no. 1274; Gallardo, no. 3983). Reworked entirely, 1609. (Salvá, no. 1275). The editon of 1602 was reprinted in 1622, (Salvá, no. 1275, contrary to Gayangos’ note to his translation of Ticknor, III, p. 543). 1609. La constante Amarilis. (Salvá, no. 2002). Reprinted, with French translation, 1614 (Salvá, no. 2003; Ticknor, Catal., states: 3a impresion). 1612. La Espdna defendida. (Salvá, no. 985; Gallardo, no. 3985). Reprinted, and called: 5ta impresion, 1644 (Salvá, no. 986; Heredia, no. 5646). 1613. Hechos del Marque’s de Gánete. (Salvá, no. 3408; Heredia, no. 3439; Ticknor, Catal.’, see Ticknor, II, p. 107, note). 1615. Plaza universal de todas ciencias. (Salvá, no. 2426; Ticknor, Catala). Reprinted, with many changes: 1733 (Salvá, no. 2427; Ticknor, Catal.; see Ticknor, II, p. 304, note 1., and Supplement, p. 183. Prohibited in Index of 1790; not prohibited in Soto-mayor Index of 1667. 1617. El Passagero. Madrid. (Salvá, no. 2004; Gallardo, no. 3986; Ticknor, Catal.). Reprinted, 1618, Barcelona. (Gallardo, no. 3987). 1621. Varias noticias. (Salvá, no. 2006; Gallardo, no. 3988; Ticknor, Catal.). 1629. Pusilipo, (Salvá, no. 2005: Heredia, no. 6151). Other works that, according to Barrera (p. 379), are stated in the España defendida of 1612 to have been published at that date, are absolutely unknown. The Residencia de talentos was promised in 1621 (see Salvá, no. 2006), and thus could not have been published in 1612. The matter is obscure in the extreme, and may perhaps never be solved. In the Passagero (Barcelona, 1618, fol. 281, r0) the author says that he had published, up to that time, seven books. In my list there are only six, including the Passagero; unless, indeed, Figueroa counted his reworked Pastor Fido of 1609 as a new book.Google Scholar
